Service or feeder load calculation

[electric-ed]

This is a question I can't seem to get an answer to. Maybe its one for the Inspectors or Electrical Instructors out there.
With regard to service and feeder calculations, do you count motor loads as continuous? Of course, in a real situation it depends on how long the motor actually runs.
I've seen some textbooks refer to "continuous loads and motor loads" implying that they were treated differently
