Seems to me.anytime it gets above 62 at night it's too warm.for a good rest, especially down south. Upper 60's out west..

Because temperature changes!
I went to bed around 7PM when it was 72 outside. You think that 5 hours later in a middle of a night I will get up just to shut truck down cause it's 62? Nope! So that how you ended up with people idling truck, cause when they went to bed it was to hot outside.bzinger, MACK E-6, tommymonza and 2 others Thank this. -
I try to shut my truck off. I ran over 500 miles when I shut down at the truck stop. Motors hot, blacktop is hot, the sun is shining on my truck turning it into a greenhouse even if it's 65 outside. I have those tiny vents in my bunk. Company doesn't have an APU installed so I let the truck run. Can't roll the windows down because I don't want flys or misquotes inside. If I get up in the night I may shut it off. If not tough.
bzinger, kemosabi49 and driverdriver Thank this. -
Have you seen all that body fat that most drivers have?
Gets real hot real quick. Gotta keep that AC pumping at all times.bzinger, special-k, tommymonza and 1 other person Thank this. -
Hebron OH last night, about 70 deg with about 60% humidity. 25% of the trucks were idling, including Billy Big Rigger with his ancient W900L cat with straight pipes parked next to me. Had a chance to have a casual conversation about his dog the next AM. Well, tried, he was deaf as a post.
ProfessionalLunatic and bzinger Thank this. -
whoopNride and Studebaker Hawk Thank this.

If not, then you have a hell of a lot of nerve taking a cheap shot like that towards those whose circumstances about which you cannot possibly have the slightest idea.bzinger, THE ROOKIE, Slowpoke KW and 1 other person Thank this.
