    I agree that it isn't a great idea to drive 11 hours without stopping. Driving can be very tedious. But I think stopping for fuel breaks it up enough, and better than a mandated 30 minute break. I legally can pull into a rest area, and never get put of the seat, and that's ok. Stop and get fuel, which stretches my legs, but it is on duty is not good enough?

    You absolutely should. It's a "safety-sensitive function".:D

    I don't think anyone has a problem with the break; it's the MANDATORY nature of it that no one likes. It is probably the sole cause of fuel lane blockage epidemic.
