Idling in summer.

LOL...funny you wrote that. That exact thing happened last wednesday. The company had me take the truck to the shop and put me up in a hotel room until it was fixed.

 

Na I dont want to do that might mess up my beer alotment.I have a better Idea let the ones that ban idling pay for motels.Have you seen that they are allowing the Military to idle I have never seen a military truck or hummer with A/C.

 

I'd love to read about any trucker coming through here when it's 110 degrees at 10:00 at night actually sleeping in a truck without the thing running and no ac on.
Even if you could stand it, how could you sleep?

 

I reckon they never gave a thought about
heat stroke.
Dehydration?

Will they see higher emergency calls to truck stops to save the life of a dehydrated, heat stroked Big truck truck driver?
Or to the multi-vehicle crashes if something happens due to a fatigued driver out on the highways?

 

Yes but I wonder how long it will take them to get there??Stop for coffee or maybe a six pack or two.Hope they bring me one

 

You forgot "clank" "poof" and all the expletives that follow thereafter,hehe.

 

You're right!
Thanx for reminding me.
Especially the "expletives".
(both when the APU gives up the ghost
AND when the repair bill comes.)

 

Hey I seen today Dallas either changed the rules or the news told it wrong..I think you can idle to sleep for log book regs.

 

So then,......... the cops who go knockin' on the doors and windows of Big trucks that are idling are only doin' that to wake a driver up to see if they're sleepin'?

WAKE UP!
It's time to go to sleep.

 

Well it could be the 311 phone # they give for reporting idlers.
