So I parked at the far quiet end of the truckstop.....

I'd rather hear a refer running all night than the spitter going off every few minutes from some freightliner.

 

being a meat hauler i find a lot of little nooks and crannys to park at away from the interstate and TS. my favorite is grain elevators even had a guy bring me a coffee one day when he realized i was awake just waiting out my 10

 

I had to quit coffee. I don't pee in bottles, so I'd hit every rest area and truck stop with a bathroom along my route if I was drinking coffee.

 

i am 59 i cant move without coffee and it all just dribbles out afterwards.........sigh.........

 

I hear you on that. Those old corn binders are some of the worst offenders.

 

As I said on another thread concerning the whining about idling, everybody has their own comfortable zones about when to idle and when not too.

What you may consider cool, I, for example, may not.

What you may consider cold enough to idle for heat, I may think its perfect outside.

What difference does it make? I used to pay for my own fuel when I ran with my last company and I idled a lot.

Lol!!

I'll have to second that on the comment about outrageous parking fees if a truckstop decided to do that.

Hard to argue with that......

 

LEO would be the least of his concerns. I would be worried about the mask and gun myself. Way too much of that going on lately...
