    Truck #1 on the right, TK
    Truck #2 on the right, idling.
    Low tonight, 52.

    What about the children, people?

    I think more importantly than the fuel cost, the hours not put on the engine.

    Especially idle hours.

    Even the old timers with old school engines from way back would tell you idling is the engine's worst enemy.

    I mean Casper's APU has like 10K or 12K hours on it.

    That's a lot.

    Blackie's is like 4300.

    Right. Stuff seems to change dramatically when this happens.
    Unless they're morons like truck #2.
    Ain't no way that's a company truck.
    Just a DA who thinks the truck should run 24/7.

    Smoking with the windows up....that's you're guy.

    Ok.

    No rest for the all night/day runners.
    But tonight the solar powered trucks will be parked and I’ll be running it seems.

    But a driver from Foltz, at least came over and asked if I wanted a burger, he can’t unload til tomorrow, so he’s out here grilling.
    I’ve already ate bologna sandwich and not hungry.

    So I’m just gonna sit here and wait!
