How do I idle this ******* truck?

Idling in gear with trailer brakes set.

Ahuh. Yup.

Now that the teasing is out of the way, Consider working for someone else who does not implement temp idle controls.

One of the biggest things we enjoyed for our health, humidty control and etc over the years was the ability to maintain a perfect cab temperature. If it was too hot, mold and mildew becomes a threat on the food stuffs then the clothes and eventually you.

The alternative is to get dispatched into places where the temp is never 89.

 

I have no qualms messing with the sensor. There is two cases of a few hundred hand warmers inside the closet for the coming of winter. Im sure those things taped to the sensor will trick the truck into idling. But you have to try it and see.

Im old school, I don't mind a certain amount of automation but this idle disabling to temperature breaks my heart. I am automatically an enemy of any company big and small that dares implement this thing without providing for a alternative such as a APU that provides hotel power to the sleeper and cab for much less fuel than the main engine up front.

 

Chock the wheels and release all the brakes?

 

Jb has me idling for the last 24 hours..just sayin..its cold in here..

 

Policy was apu gets turned off while on home time. Drivers couldn't follow policy and left them running, so no more apu's. Not hard to empty a fridge when you go home.

 

Here you if want most any driver creature comfort that takes care of you in your truck...go take a look at their equipment offered to the driver..www.hollandent.com

 

Going to work for a better company is probably the best way to idle.

 

LOL good thing you are in a company truck Friday for if it was your own truck you would be losing some good money between idling and/or getting the truck fixed...and puppies hate the heat btw...
