    I think it's ok to take breaks at the FUAL island but taking a break at the FUEL island is frowned upon

    Here is your answer from an owner operator, me.

    When I get to the pump there is 4 trips across the parking lot to pump fuel because the pump card reader ONLY accepts mega corporate fuel cards.

    1. Walk across the lot and wait for everyone in line in front of you to be served to tell the cashier I want to buy fuel.

    2. Walk back across the lot to pump fuel.

    3. Repeat step 1 to pay for the diesel.

    4. Return to truck.
