what to you do to stay warm?

my boss and I have an agreement, if I freeze to death because he whines about the truck idling, my wife will be his next boss. That said, I've slept as cold as 15 deg. in just sleeping bag, some times I have a fleece blanket I'll throw on top of it. I make the decision to idle or not, not the company, if he's gonna whine about the idling, I have a company Mastercard in my Name on it, I will get a hotel room and he can pay for it.

 

I use Army cold weather gear. You can pick up cheap Goretex at Army/Navy surplus places

 

You don't have an auxillary heater in your truck? Most trucks have them. Allows you to run the heat while the motor is off. Usually work pretty well too! Man, your going to end up getting pretty sick sleeping in cold weather like that!

 

at 60 years old i have decided i will not drive a truck without an apu a frig and an inverter
paud my dues many moons ago if i have to keep working comfort is a priority with me

 

Ya keep in mind that your fellow employees aren't sitting in the office freezing to death or in the dark!

 

Its also the law...if you are required to sleep in the truck ( boss won't pay for A ROOM)

 

its also the law.......If you are required to sleep in the power unit (boss won't pay for a room)...then the company must provide you with a working heater in winter and a working ac in summer........

 

ask your boss if he turns his heat off at night in his house,i would not work for these idiots.
