It is 109! My inside truck thermometer said 148! I was getting up every 20 mins or so to run for 5 mins and shut off I went for 6 and the smog cop got me. He was just some old guy sitting in a tractor with a stop watch. This is at the the pilot in palm springs ca. How is this legal?

Lawyer up, you prevented a safety/health emergency by resting. They demand we take a 10 hour break, and you were doing that. Had you not rested you would then be in violation of DOT laws which demand you not operate a CMV while fatigued. This is why I've invested in a lawyer plan. Had tickets thrown out, and one that the court keeps deciding to reschedule. -
