My new, final resting place

That's the rub here, isn't it? But as I said in the beginning, I know what I have to do, unpleasant as it might be or as disappointed as I might get with them. I made it through 4 years in the Navy and a tour in Viet Nam. I can do this. Besides, it's Summer so it's a whole lot nicer than trying to do it in, oh, February.

It sucks to be me, but I don't have a choice.

 

I have decided that my tool box will stay home. The company clearly cares nothing about my comfort, so I shall return the favor. If something needs fixing or replacing, the company will foot the bill to have it done, no matter how much time I lose. I've also decided I will have to adapt to idling to stay cool/warm, as much as I hate it.

 

My truck has opti-idle which doesn't seem to work after the first go-around because something in the system needs service and their idle policy temp limits don't seem to work, either. I was in Arkansas with the OAT at 90 but only for a 5-minute idle before shutdown.

And they do, indeed, seem to have an anti-driver policy. It's because they know what they are and they know the kind of drivers who work here. After having been through Gordon's orientation most recently, I can tell you they do not care about the drivers. At all.

 

I will look. Thanks for the tip.

 

OR...it'll just spend 3 unpaid weeks in repair!
