    I really cannot answer your question as I do not know what they can do. I do know that I am going to death valley and it is suppose to be 125 degrees F there tomorrow. I do know that the truck is going to be running for an extended period of time in one spot.

    You wont even get questioned in Death Valley about idling. Go to San Pedro or San Diego and it should not take long.

    Good idea. Or let's get every company to charge a $200 surcharge to idiotic states to make up for their stupid laws and fees.

    Are there any options to getting the truck engines clean air certified like the new Cummins Engines?

    This stuff makes me so angry. I'm tempted to drive to California, shut off my truck and call 911 to be med-e-vaced for heat stroke.

    I think someone actually did that. He billed the company for it too, lol.

    Not the company's fault. He should have billed the state.

    State would never pay though. You'd get an IOU.

    State wont pay either. They will tell him he should have got a motel room.

    Company did pay it was what I heard. Workman's comp if I remember right. I don't think there was a hotel available and they had him sitting for a couple days.
