how to stay warm when one can't idle?

not gonna find another human, ever period end of story

i'm not going to just quit because I can't idle. you can't just quit and find a new job like that its not easy. the more and more jobs you have the more and more jobs don't want you

nobody likes job-hoppers

 

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4367659]Hi Jabber, the find another human, I can see your point, but I would indeed quit a job if I couldn't idle. In some ways, today is like years ago, trucking jobs are plentiful, and if you have a good record, it's a downright shame to have to work for someone that doesn't care about your safety or health.[/QUOTE]

i'm replaceable, its cheaper to replace me than to give a ####.

2 years experience and I've worked for 4 companies, who would hire me?

but what does one do when in places where Idling is ILLEGAL?

I like the sleeping bag and the heated blanket suggestions

 

you can work for the best company in the world, a company that allows you to idle as much as you want, but that becomes irrelevant if you're in a place where Idling is illegal. yes, there are all sorts of loopholes but its just easier to freeze

I used to be one of the biggest anti-idling people, thought only weak people did it but I've come around, my company does allow me to idle so I now worry about when it is and isn't appropriate to idle

 

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4367688]Hi Jabber, it seems, and someone may correct me, but anti-idling laws are usually in warmer climates where air quality is a concern, and here in the frozen north, some folks NEVER shut the truck off. With service calls in the hundreds of dollars to start a dead truck, many companies turn the other cheek. To them, it's more of a "suggested" rule, and has been an issue for all my years of trucking. They are happy if you limit the amount of idling.[/QUOTE]

Its illegal in Pennsylvania, New York, and California, but i'll write-off New York and California for 2 obvious reasons. but why PA?

I worked for a company that had a terminal in PA and there was a huge sign "no Idling trucks over 5 tons (law 124 of 2008)" which I honestly though was stupid because 1) its private property you have to have a warrant to drive your police car on the property. 2) the facility was on top of a mountain
