    Yeah the 5 hours i gotta be there getting my inspection and waiting on letters. I Don't wanna sit inside the building so its sit in my truck or sit on my flatbed.

    5 hours inside a building with others might not be a lot to some people. To me it really is im a very very shy person in person. I don't like being around people i don't know. I would rather be locked in a jail cell lmao

    A good reason to have an AC air condition like an overhead and run off a generator or be plugged in at the yard and use their electricity. Not just big houses have overhead air condition. Even an apu is a big savings on the engine especially if you have emmisions and causing regen more often because of idleing long periods.
    Kinda part of modern day trucking.

    I didn't log the trip to get it but I ran a paper log to get it home. Mercer never asked about it.

    They explained it on why.

    As said its five hours , you have survived worse, hang tough.

    Why dont you add the roof top to new truck?
