How does the start up and shut down of the motor effect your sleep?...I would probably be up and down all night...Or is it something that you eventually get used too?....I think it would drive me nuts.

I’ve parked next to reefers that we’re worse.

I hope these are not dumb questions. When a company has trucks without APU's and have an auto start/stop feature when idling, I am wondering exactly what that means? Does it work just like it says? Does the truck's diesel engine start up and turn off by itself intermittently for a predetermined duration? If so, is the idle time allowed by this feature to run the A/C adequate to keep one cool in hot humid climates while in the sleeper? Or does the truck just idle for a period of time just once, then shut off for good? Thanks.
