    Cool... closest I’ve ever been is the George Washington bridge and that’s the closest I wanna get. I take it you guys do quite a bit upstate though.

    I gotcha. Never was exactly sure what the % time was. I idle if I feel its necessary and never had anything said so I must be good lol. Granted I prefer sleeping with the truck off so I use my bunk heater as much as possible, but if I get woke up in middle of night for low voltage I run the truck the rest of my break. Not doing the up and run for a bit then shut off

    Yes western upstate a lot, but all really good customers for the most part. The good thing bout New York where we go is its good miles out there, and guaranteed good miles out of there. My only complaint out there comes during the months of Nov-Feb I have no desire to go there lol

    I know that they have temperature ranges in which idling is allowed, but I don't know what they are. Like below a certain temp and above a certain temp. When Monday rolls around I'll call Hannah and ask what they are.

    Got sent to a plastics recycle company once in Clifton NJ. Maybe 10 miles from the GW? Kinda like @Steelersjunkie and that scrapyard in Chicago, I will not go there again even if it's a ding on my Millis record.

    Granted that really doesn't happen very often with Millis but when it does, ya just gotta suck it up buttercup. Makes that next beer taste oh so good.

    EDIT: I'm in Richfield for the weekend and stacked up b service. Got my car here so hit me up if ya need to do a Wally World run. It'd be my pleasure. 8063

    Right about now I'm pretty happy that I called the shipping department for this place. I was scheduled for 2:30pm today for pickup. They got me in at 8am. They started loading me and rejected my trailer due to a leak. Thankfully they have another yard down the road and we had an empty there. If I hadn't called for an earlier appointment, I'd probably be hunting for a parking spot at a bad time of day. And that other trailer may not have been here anymore. This is why I always call to check for earlier availability. Worked out great today :)
