    I did a half hour break in the fuel island the other very early morning. I pulled into the Pilot, the pumps were all empty, the lot was all full. I pulled ahead and popped the brakes and lay down. Been driving all night and was tired. 43 total minutes parked there and when I got out the pumps were still pretty much empty no problems. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do but don't do it if the pumps are super busy and congested.

    Get rid of the stupid mandatory 30 and you wont have this problem. I hate the 30. I never do it. Ill edit the logs to get the 30 from wherever else i have idle time. Its a waste of my time, a waste of everyones time. We should all be able to eat, piss, sleep whenever we want to. F the fmcsa and their stupid regulations. They should instead be more worried about companies hiring inept drivers and sending them out untested and unqualified.

    I agree about the 30 minute rule being stupid but people were blocking fuel islands waaay before that rule.

    Holy hell, that might actually call for a proper beating with a pipe wrench.

    I gotta tell ya there Scottie,

    Your videos do not show near enough action. They are a little dull and while I do appreciate the effort, I think you can do better. we can help you work on that.

    May I make a couple suggestions to help enhance the quality of your videos. VIOLENCE and CARNAGE.

    Try this:

    next time you see a person blocking you, mouthing off, laughing, coughing or really any basic movement that humans usually make, go up and sucker punch them. Better yet, entice them into punching you. I guarantee it will bring you an audience you never imagined.

    Good luck.
