    You like to stereotype but not be stereotyped. 30 minutes at the pump is normal for me.
    Checking my cattle is first then
    I have to walk in get the pump turned on.(sorry they don't turn it on at the pump with my card)
    Pump 225 to 250 gallons. Wash the windshield and mirrors roll the hood and look while pump is running. Hang up the nozzles pull up and go in get receipt pee if necessary then roll. Depending on how long I wait in line to turn pump on it could be longer than 30 minutes. Sorry if that twist your ELD. I have crap to do just as you do

    In 22 yrs of trucking, not once have I had to wait on a cattle pot to move. Might have to give them some space for the smell though lol.

    This thread has made it quite apparent that I could easily be head and shoulders above the average driver just by showing up lol.

    Because you brought it up i see most people that go in to start the pump come out 5 minutes later with a bag of items.
    10 minutes to pump including lifting hood and wash (if you need to pay inside you do that immediately and come back out has never taken me more than 2 minutes)
    After pull up another 10 minutes to check your cattle and get receipt if you need longer go park. (I never spend more than 6 minutes inside when pulled up)
    I always see bullhauler check their loads in the pull up zone.
    Make fun of what i wear however you want im not the one wasting people time in the fuel island.

    I doubt you pump over 200 gallon in 10 minutes. At any rate go find someone else to argue with I have wasted enough of my time on you

    This site has really opened my eyes up to what the rest of the industry is like. All my family were loggers or involved in road construction. Giddyup and git'r done. Trucks were always maintained like new, cleaned every weekend etc. Nobody pissed in bottles or #### in bags. Everybody practiced good hygiene. They put on clean clothes every morning. Just because you're highballin' from pit to paver or loader to the mill is no excuse to not make time to be a professional.
