    Because they have bunk heaters for the cold weather and they allow us to idle when it's hot.

    Plus with the 3 year trade cycle it doesn't pay to have that type of investment.

    No load yet. I was dead headed 425 miles last night back to Shelby MT, now we're being deadheaded 675 miles to SLC.

    Which helps us not in areas that are making laws against us being able to sleep in warmer temps.

    All of our engines meet the emission standards throughout the country. That sticker on the side of your hood is your key to being able to idle in California, and the rest of the states.

    And the laws about "no engine brakes" don't apply to our muffled versions either.

    Hey everyone...

    Please welcome @Danch to our corner of TTR.

    He is considering applying at Abilene and I told him this would be a good thread to hear from other Abilene Drivers and just some good folks to talk with in general about trucking.

    So be on your best behavior... LOL
