Why are so many trucks idling tonight?

Who will feel dumb some day when you 1000 miles from home and the truck won't start.

 

Went home 14 hours after start of motor. VICTORY !


How is that dumb? lol

I get paid per hour and still want to be home, screw that waiting for breakdown, Some folks really care about that NO IDLING ABOVE 5 TONS STATE's LAW

 

LMAO. Am I the only one that sees the irony in this post?

Driver, as you so proudly state, YOU are the owner of the truck. You ARE the company. You brag about how fast you drive, spending an extra $20,000/yr in fuel, you brag about how much money you make, but you won't buy your driver an APU?

You are a cheap company and I hope you go out of business. :smt064

 

wtf do I need a apu for...I have a truck that idle any time I want it too....we have different views ill be my own company when I have my own trailers my own yard my own customers my own drivers and dispatchers...until I consinder my self a o/o....

and if u waiting on me to go out business you be waiting a long time...

 

I doubt it. What's the average length of time the o/o that has bought himself a job stays with a company.....2-3 years? You'll be a company man soon.

 

I've driven close to a million miles and never once have I had a truck that won't start. So I should keep it running non-stop to avoid the extremely remote possibility that it won't start? OK...now that IS dumb.

 

I don't know how other guys run they mother ship...but me and my family are happier then lions in a slaughter house...I will stop driving trucks before I be a company driver...not that its a bad thing...but I do what I want to do and I love it....

so that wish of failure you speaking on me I rebuke that demon and send it straight back to hell where it come from...AMEN

 

Not saying that its right driver...but eff that idling law

 

I like parking next to the guy with the truck running. Drowns out other noises. Then my reefer kicks on and wakes me up.
