Break is such an ugly word Stretch is a nicer word I wont stretch my 10 hour break everything else all bets are off. Sorry but I live in the real world and in the real world everybody stretches the log.Till we all log it as it realy happens and companys ,shippers, and consignees and not drivers are punished then none of this wink wink nod nod b.s. will ever end.I use to beleive that the hos change coming this month would change everything but now I seriously doubt it.

and you do know that we can get in trouble if we park on a ramp, street or even now a truck stop,

The Smokin' Monkee is Right!!!!! What are you supposed to do, if you're running out or now out of hours with no place to park. Can you split or say you were taking a break while being unloaded? If not, YOU HAVE TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO PARK. If you can't do it on a ramp or parking lot or shipper, you may have to get down the road a bit. A risk, sure, but what in the hell are you supposed to do?

YES Mr. Monkey. I do , but when I asked DOT this very question he told me basically the driver needs to have his truck towed or he will be in violation.
What drivers must do is pre-plan # least 2-3 hours of a delay at a customer, if you know it's going to be more then you should talk to your dispatcher.
Seriously guys/ Loading/unloading is no exscuse and I will post the exact words from the Federal book.
Question 4: Are there allowances made in the FMCSRs for delays caused by loading and unloading?
Guidance: No. Although the regulations do make some allowances for unforeseen contingencies such as in §395.1(b), adverse driving conditions, and §395.1(b)(2), emergency conditions, loading and unloading delays are not covered by these sections.
I just don't want you to use this as an exscuse to get a fine
