Stay at the pump ... If you pull up, some one may pull into fuel, someone else then pulls in behind them and they would be stuck.
That's just plain uncourteous and one needs to look out for thier fellow drivers.

Dutch oven in cig lighter,
Small ham sliced, small potatoes red, small onions chopped.
Second oven contains brussel sprouts and carrots.
You have a small blue box of oven bags. Everything is cooked in both of the dutch ovens inside the oven bake bags. It will take a certain amount of your day to cook well. When it's ready it's ready anytime for the rest of day after.
Its not much but when combined with icecream of your favorite from the store down the street or wherever plus a bit of bread product it will be a meal to remember and carry you through the night when its time to roll. -
I just stop for a break at least once or twice a day. Usually a lunch/dinner mid afternoon, and another at some point just to take a leak and stretch my legs. And I rarely drive over 10 hours a day.
We are not allowed to show off duty unloading at a store. We can at a vendor so long as we are not required to count. But we are generally drop and hook. Barely there 15 minutes total.
Even when I was hauling cans I would stop (regardless of the idiotic penance 30 minute rule) for a break to eat.Dumdriver and Dave_in_AZ Thank this. -
Lulz. I'm so used to eating while working, it's odd for me to sit and eat lmfao.
When I do sit and eat, it gets inhaled, and I'm looking for something to do lol.back street slider and 06driver Thank this. -

To be clear...
All week long I could be "On Duty": wrenchin', shining my ride; off-loading, etc., etc. Which is to say, there are no limits regarding how many hours I spend technically on-duty. BUT, if I want to drive, I'll need to take that 10 before doing so...correct? -
Yep. I run into my 7th hour when i hit my barn. Work the dock for a while, Elog says no driving so I’m on duty not driving while I hook. I take my 30 after hooking up doing my paperwork.spindrift Thanks this.

The best part of it is he was totally goofing. Lol. I think you and I are the only ones that caught that- but he kept it going. I respect that kinda commitmentIluvCATS Thanks this.
-
One minor caveat. Depending on how much On-Duty time you might be out of your 70 also. So you would need to take a 34, not just a 10. (Well, or wait until recap gains hours.)spindrift Thanks this.
