Why Do You Idle?

thats freakin helarious

 

I also drive a really HUGE Jeep that gets terrible mileage, so the tree huggers and eco-dorks really love me !!!!!!!!!

 

Yup, but too bad that there aren't more of them then I could shut them off.

Yeah, I magically wakeup at 3am when some one is trying to back in beside me ?

 

Between 20-70, I don't idle. From 70-80 I might idle for a bit and then turn it off to see if it holds the temperature for a while. Above 80 or below 20, i idle the whole time.

My batteries charge up pretty well, so 10min of idling can give me almost an hour for my laptop and fridge to run.

p.s., also, I like the cold, I have four huge blankets in my bunk that I can get in down to 20 degrees and not idle or run my bunkwarmer. I prefer it that way.

 

Hey me too (3 jeeps, cause more the better LOL)
but I don't idle cause I'm a certified cheapass tightwad

 

Seriously though I try not to idle much, but after 16 years of this OTR crap I feel I've paid my dues and if I have to idle to be comfy I will..

With that being said I'm not the one paying the fuel bill anymore so my attitude would probably change if it was coming out of my pocket !!

 

maybe the ones that idle all night have hour meters on there motors and they get paid by that instead of % or miles.lmao

 

I don't think I would idle unless it was called for but I do have tinnitus in both ears due to a truck tire blowing up about 1.5 feet from my face. The tires were from East Germany so I so need some extra noise the mask the ringing in my ears.

 

Drivers deserve to be comfortable. No complaints there. It's just April is such a nice month to have the windows down.
We'd split the parking lots in half for idlers/ non idlers. But you know how that goes, lol.
