How did we get here?

I hear you loud and clear double dragon. All the outfits that came about to make sure drivers got a fair shake have been taken over by the companies. just goes to prove that absolute power corrupts absolutely

 

MCR, once again, care to explain WHO???? I do care a lot but would like to know a little bit more my man. No offence but 1st post I have seen like this.

 

But (no offense) if we only talk about it and don't take action, then nothing will ever change.. Some one needs to get the ball rolling, and I say those who are most affective, by this should be the ones who do it..

 

You'll see several like his. If you bounce along the Covenant threads.

Please pay close attention to comments made by current and previous employees of a company. As many current employees can be fired/terminated for posting a negative within an online forum.

My Co. tells me to Idle, but I Idle even when State law says NO. Its my house, Needs to be warm! and when Its 20 below, and WI tells me to shut down, Its Prison buddy. We need to fight it.

 

I am an o/o and I think it sucks the way these companies treat you guys. There is no way I am going to shut off my truck if it is too cold or too hot, but I know, I have that choice. That's why I don't run in states with idle restrictions. Until the government gives me the money for an APU, I'm not spending $10,000 of my money on one. I had a guy at a Wal-Mart DC come up and tell me to shut off my truck, that they didn't allow idling. I told him to show me in black and white the law that said I had to do this. He turned around and walked away, end of discusion.

If the EPA wants cleaner air, they need to included everything that pollutes, not dramatic changes to one industry. it all boils down to money anyway.

 

Bring it to their attention that "how would they would feel if they were told that they could not run their Air Conditioning or Furnace.
That truck is My house! I want it to be as comfortable as I can make it.
