| Anti-idling laws. Company drivers, how do you get rest if you don't have a APU? I'm a wannabe trucker. With all the summer months still ahead of us. I was wondering how OTR company drivers that don't have APU's. Get your rest with all the new anti-idling laws and rules out there?  |

| I idle the truck and I see lots of others doing the same. Personally if a cop wanted to write me a ticket he'd have to get a warrant. If I'm in the sleeper idling on private property or even a rest area I'm not opening the door for him. I will speak to him through the sleeper window and tell him that I'm on a federally mandated break and he can write my company a ticket and leave it on the winshield if he wants, or I'll deal with him when I come back on duty. If he doesn't like that he can get a warrant. |

| Set the truck to high idle and crank up the a/c. To hell with idle restrictions. My company has them but i'm not suffering with no a/c till they remove the a/c from the office at our terminal.  |

| I'll keep idling in adverse conditions until they drag me out of the truck for it. Then I'll go do something else for a living. I'm not living like a caged animal in a hotbox for anyone. |

Won't be any ground given on my end. I'll walk if I'm told to turn my truck off. When one of these companies gets nailed for a heat stroke, as a work related injury. You'll see some things change.
