Anti Idle Advice

You have been in a truck for 4 years, you don't know squat. I have work boots that have spent more miles in a truck than you have. Just set back and listen you might learn something.

 

I have boots that have walked more miles and climbed more mountains than you ever will...

... aww gosh darn it gotta luv these attitudes.

 

The me me me mentally has always been around, its just becoming the norm these days. ...

"fantastic fear of extreme temps"??

when your young,(20 or 30 something), slogging thru the jungle in Southeast Asia, working construction in the winter in Wyoming in Jan.,pouring concrete in southwest Texas in August, isn't too bad.

Now I'm 60 and well..... I've paid my dues and deserve to be as comfortable as I would at home during my down time.

 

Got frost bite in Winnipeg a couple of years ago. I have not been able to take the cold since like I used too. At 55, it makes it harder to deal with on both sides.

 

My AC conked out on a run from North Carolina to El Paso, TX 2 summers ago. First night I spent the night in the truck at the truck parking area near Jackson, TN on I40. The second night I stayed at the Americas Best Value Inn at exit 502 in Terrell, TX on I20. Sleeping without air conditioning in the summer in the south.....yeah no!

 

In the mid 70's I drove from Detroit to West Memphis none stop. 90 in Detroit 105 in West Memphis didn't have AC. I spent 2 days in the Motel with heat stroke then went on to
Dallas and back to Detroit. The stories go on and on so I too feel like I have paid my dues. If you have been driving long enough to have driven a B model chain drive Mack like I have you don't owe anybody anything.

 

^^^ ... now there's some ingenuity...
