The company will knwo how much your truck idles and most companies that set it up to not idle will spank you if you idle more than that like. Usually they tell you to stop it before they penalize you. "Your mileage may vary."PE_T, truckdriver31, meechyaboy and 1 other person Thank this. -

They probably got it rigged not to idle unless the Outside temp meets with there approval

How do you guys with no idle use a microwave in your truck? Even my noodles takes 4 mins to heat. Seems like a pain in the ###.
I hope this doesn't apply to OTR trucks because that'd be unacceptable.truckdriver31 and Tb0n3 Thank this. -

We are restricted by the temperature, 34 or below or 69 and above.
My temp reads ~10+ degrees higher when it is colder, so that can be a bitc#.
The only way I can do it is to use my tire thumper stick as a wedge between the seat frame and throttle.
Find the correct distance and wedge it in just enough to raise the idle a few RPM - but not too much.
That will last for 30 minutes or so.
I use that trick most when I am using the inverter to cook.truckdriver31, Wasted Thyme and Nsuaqcat Thank this.
