    Just curious on how tmc drivers stay cool in the summer months. Do you just idle or portable ac? Just looking for suggestions because I'm headed to orientation in SC in April. Thank in advance

    Negatory, they tried them back when they first hit but they were so unreliable then Harold decided against them
    They try to act like they are
    No they don't.

    I idled when I needed to. They will let you idle, so long as it's within reason. Just remember that it counts towards your snapshot
