    In those temperatures I idle regardless of what I’m hauling.
    Your product isn’t going to be on your trailer long enough to even concern yourself with it.

    If you got a load that’s going to be on your truck a few days in subzero temperatures then I would consider running at night and taking your break during the day. Unless you have a rough idling truck it really doesn’t do a whole lot idling but better than nothing.

    Thank you. I don’t usually worry much when it’s 24hrs or less transit, but was concerned with the sub zero temperatures. Appreciate the advice.

    I remember when I was on the dock in the low teens my sodas (usually mountain dew) would turn into slushies bouncing around on the forklift.

    Anytime I had glass bottles in a bay I would wrap the pallet in cardboard and sometimes it would help lol. Diet anything always freezes first.
