    Remember kids, leaving your dog or baby in a hot car will put you in jail.
    But it’s ok for s driver to suffer.
    If people stop working for those companies, then they’ll have to offer idle or APU

    Buy wheel chocks and don’t set the brakes so they can idle:)

    Since you have a game console, just take it into the Loves and hook it up to one of those TV's that always shows the weather. You would probably get other drivers to play against you if like NFL 2K18. Tell the cashiers that you are uniting truckers nationwide
     
    Lav-25 and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    What if some jokester decides to pull them out while you're sleeping on a slightly inclined lot? Hilarious!
