I idle my truck if I'm cooking or need to charge my phone so my battery doesn't die.
As for other people parking, I don't care. Long as I can safely get out. Also #### truck stops. I try my best to avoid them at all costs. Impatient drivers rushing + limited spaces + overcrowded = problems. I'd say 95% of all backing accidents happen at truck stops.
They're also just creepy. Everytime I stop at one I swear some dude is always sitting in his cab staring at me like I'm crazy. You really have nothing better to do than look at people all day parking at a truck stop? No thanksLast edited: Jan 27, 2020

I never realized until a couple years ago when I started having reefers washed out in Columbus Nebraska the lengths that are gone to , to wash out and sterilize hog pots after each load .
After a through washing and sterilization process they heat up those trailers too ...and it ain't cheap !Rideandrepair, Tall Mike, Trucker61016 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Ya, pigs get stressed very easily, get sick even easier, and will pass a virus around the whole group in no time flat. They require a clean trailer (especially young pigs) good air quality (need to keep that trailer, and therefore airflow, moving) smooth and careful driving to avoid panic and stampedes. And constant monitoring.Rideandrepair, FerrissWheel, JolliRoger and 6 others Thank this. -
