    I mean to say that it will let you idle at certain temperatures but I haven't started yet and no idea how the system works.

    We have that. The truck will NOT idle between 35 and 68. There is no way to shut off the five minute timer; you need to stomp the brake every five minutes. Pain in the butt when you're on a 34 and the low voltage alarm goes off...
     
    Lightside Thanks this.

    35 sounds pretty low?

    On Swift Transportation wages it could very well take you three years to save up that kind of money.

    If you saved $62 a week you could have it paid in 18 months

    Sounds like I would try cutting a stick to wedge between the brake and seat. Not sure it would work. But I'd sure try it.

    It only "ties you up" for 52 weeks. At that time, your training is paid in full. The next 52 weeks reimburses your training and makes it free.
