    In case you ever wondered why during an inspection the DOT asks for your receipts, this is one of the reasons. If they see that you purchased fuel on a 30 minute break, it's an instant HOS violation and ticket.

    How so? I cannot think of any way it would not be on-duty.

    Here is the definition of On Duty
    On-duty time means all time from the time a driver begins to work or is required to be in readiness to work until the time the driver is relieved from work and all responsibility for performing work. On-duty time shall include:
    (2) All time inspecting, servicing, or conditioning any commercial motor vehicle at any time;

    Fueling is servicing the vehicle. Note it says at any time....
