    I'd at least wait for them to come out and then ask while they're out and about. Make it as non confrontational as possible.

    I know I have to keep my truck on all week until I get my runs done. Electrical issues(possible wonky alternator) and the shop told me to leave it on. Normally I have it off if the temp is comfy and parked. But I've had battery drain issues the two weeks I've had this truck(regular ones in the shop due to fan belt issues).

    You don’t get it. That’s okay. The problem was solved.

    Probably a foreigner that could care less about America other then he knows he can make money here. Therefore he has no consideration for the people around him.

    I've done this :) I don't sleep for sh** anyway so while the noise is bothersome, the harmonic vibration that results drives me F'*** bonkers. Probably why I don't park at truck stops, rest areas if I can help it and look for parking around shipper/receiver and side streets.

    I’m sorry about that, I wasn’t permitted to idle. It might look bad but at $3 in gas a night it works. I actually think a co detector should be mandatory equipment for any truck.

    Remember something. What's comfortable for one person may not be comfortable for the next. At 67 degrees I'm as comfortable as I can be. I have 2 buddies that are searching for long sleeves at that temperature. So he may be cold and not just inconsiderate.
