    I used to park at the Home Depot at the end of the road the Atlanta terminal is on (terminal was always full and gaurd never let me park there)----never had any problems there day or night.

    Do the Knight trucks idle yet? Or have APU's? Or do you have to sweat and/or freeze because the stupid idle doesn't work? That "Over 75 or Under 35" idle set-up was BS, with everyone I have ever known===including me.

    I can't feel comfortable unless it's over 65... How do you people sleep when it's that cold!

    O.k.....fair enough. Now; let's rephrase the question: I can't feel comfortable unless it's under 72... How do you people sleep when it's that hot!

    I haven't tried it, but i'm pretty sure you can boil water with the bunk heater on full blast.

    I like my truck cold enough to hang meat in personally.

    If it's over 75 I idle the truck if I'm in it.
