Why all the idling in cool weather?

Used to have a real nice in with a big box store manager down in socal like that there were about 20 of us who would park there not all at the same time though, most of us had the managers phone numbers, she really enjoyed it because having us there ran off all the taggers that kept attacking her store.

We did have to run a few *ahem* "fellow" drivers out of there. One guy with a big house decided to dump his casette toilet in the bushes behind the store.

Another had the side door on their sleeper open and were throwing trash out of it onto the ground. The worst part it was food trash, so the seagulls all showed up and started fighting over it.

 

Stacking small bales on that day is el primo (That is meant as your eye balls will even be sweating not crying)

 

On that note, I grew up doing construction, when I got into trucking I really enjoyed rolling into a job site with the AC on, or the heater up, jumping out, tossing something off the trailer, and getting back after it letting those guys burn or freeze while they dealt with it.

 

I still do some work around cows. Man sure is nice to say "I'll wait for the sun to come up" on those cold mornings

 

I notice this ridiculousness as well. A lot of truck drivers leave their engines idling regardless of the temperature. I was at a truck stop once and it was a perfect 68 degrees, i slept with my truck off. The majority of the other drivers had their trucks not only idling but had them tached up to a deafening roar. Why?

 

Eh, I find the sun coming up on a cow pasture after a long cold winter can be a rather unpleasant experience.

 

That would be called the smell of money

Funny story.

I had to take a guy to Idaho to recover a truck when we got by the feed lots on 80 in Nebraska


Some people are allergic to a little BS I guess


I recovered the other truck

 

A few years ago I convinced a stripper I was playing around with in Portland Or to take a cross country ride with me.

She had a similar experience, didn't blow chunks, but she wouldn't shut up about it either.

That trip did not go very well. We were sitting at the buffet at Iowa 80, and she started kind of flipping out because "everyone is looking at her" and I'm like your blonde, your 22, and you are 100 lbs and you are sitting in a truck stop wearing a pink hoodie. Did you think you wern't going to get noticed?

Then when we went up to get showers she was acting like everything was gross and she didn't want to touch any thing.

She wound up hopping a cab to the air port in Chicago. honestly I was glad to have her out of my truck. The funny part of it is she wound up getting a motel room for a week because a ticket that day was more than she could afford.

I made it back to Portland before she did. That really made her mad.

 

yeah, leaving garbage, piss bottles, and running things over gets us run out pretty quick..

I remember when Walmarts used to welcome us..

 

Stacking said hay in a barn in that temperature.
