    Do you idle that truck on your rest breaks or try to limit idling as much as possible?

    I'll idle it to stay comfortable, at 900 rpm, which is what Detroit recommends.

    I have doubled down on the gliders, purchased my first one March of 15 and just put my second one to work in June. Hopefully a couple more next year.

    No, but new gliders after 2021 will be required to have DPF systems. As of now, gliders on the road now and before 2021 will grandfather in. No different than pre-emission regular trucks.
