Actually not. Nor potty breaks. Both could be logged as "off duty". But,
standing around waiting to be unloaded was considered on duty - unless you were
in the bunk grabbing a nap. On a team operation if one was riding in the dummy
seat that was considered the same as hanging around waiting to be unloaded -
"On Duty - Not Driving" and counted against. Drivers were allowed to have 70
hours on-duty in 8 days maximum. Then they must show a 24 hour break from all
activity.

Don't hold your breath waiting for common sense in *any* bureaucrap.

Peaches is a good thing - usually.

      Title: Pecan-Coated Roast Pork Loin w/Baked Peaches
 Categories: Pork, Fruits, Nuts
      Yield: 6 Servings

      4 lb Boneless loin of pork
    1/4 c  Olive oil
      2 ts Powered sage
      1 ts Garlic; minced
           Salt and pepper
      3 tb Dark brown sugar; packed
    1/4 lb Pecan halves; finely chop
      8    Canned, peach halves
           Fresh ground nutmeg

  Rub the pork throughly with olive oil. Combine the sage,
  thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon of the brown
  sugar in a food processor or blender and pulse until you
  have a thick paste. (You may have to add a drizzle of olive
  oil to get it started). Slather the paste over the pork
  loin, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.

  Preheat oven to 400øF/205øC.

  Roll the pork loin in the chopped pecans and place it in a
  roasting pan. Make a tent of aluminum foil and arrange it
  over the pork loin, covering the nuts completely so that
  they won't char.

  Roast for 30 minutes; then lower the heat to 350øF/175øC.

  After 30 more minutes, place the peach halves around it in
  the bottom of the roasting pan. Sprinkle with remaining
  brown sugar and a grinding of nutmeg. After 20 more mins,
  remove foil and continue to roast until the pork is done,
  about 20 minutes more.
