How to stay cool/Warm when you cannot idle the truck???

Get a dog or cat. I know a guy that got a citation because the truck wasn't cool enough for the dog.

No APU on my truck, but it does have an electronic battery powered something or other for heat. We only use it when the truck breaks down and always idle during the summer months. It doesn't matter what state, what time of year, what the temp is, we have the truck running...unless it breaks down...or the A/C doesn't work. (They finally fixed that, BTW.)

 

You can find the sensors that tell the truck how hot or cold it is. You can bypass, remove or heat/chill the sensors until that truck thinks is enough to turn the engine over and keep it going.

OR you can find another company with the more generous idle and even a auxilary generator on the frame providing the same heat cool to your cab.

I absolutely refuse to work for and am a enemy of any company that enforces a idle limit. Keeping a constant temp inside the cab for purposes other than driver health such as cooling the food inside the fridge needed by the driver is one thought.
