    He chuckles. "They've got laws saying you can't leave a pet in the car with the windows rolled up," he says. "But there are laws that say you can't keep a truck driver in a truck with the air conditioning on."

    Anti Idling laws are so inhumane for the drivers.:biggrin_25510:
    I didn't realize you couldn't idle in Atlanta. oops. :biggrin_25524:

    I am shocked that the govt. is not doing anything about it. Dogs get better rights than truckers when it comes to Idleing.:biggrin_25516:

    let em IDLE!

    do you think by us not idling is going to save the earth hmm i dont think so.....

    what about all these big cities and all the crap there putting into the air

    what about Japan, China, and every other country

    i know we want to stop pollution and all that stuff.......but if all the other countries dont jump on this crap aint helpin...

    i hate this stuff about going green........its doin NOTHING!

    BINGO!

    well if exhaust screws you up that much then stay away from the truck stops and rest areas...

    lets not forget....without trucks, America stops:yes2557:
