What's up with all the trucks idling?

So I know it all because I recommend something for anyone to do if they are interested not even pointed at you, but somehow because you want to do that same thing that I said is a good alternative... somehow that makes me know everything.

Kind of makes me think I must know something if you want to do the same thing that I did but yet it bothers you that I said that I did that...

Well that makes sense.

I'm going to bow out from this thread because when I started it I really just thought there were going to be a few replies that would say yeah kind of seems crazy all these trucks idle with the price of fuel. At this point I think everything has been said that's going to be said about the subject so there's really no benefit in continuing.

I thought maybe some people might discuss different ways that they combat idling or how they get around that or maybe reasons why people actually do idle some. I did not expect people to tell me to mind my own business, who do I think I am, why does it matter so much to me, when I simply made a little observation. But it is easy to read between the lines.

I did not expect that if someone said that they did not want to use an expensive APU and I said that for a small price you could set up a generator if you like, I didn't realize that was going to be offensive to some people. Then again I didn't think I would hear anyone defending idling when I'm sure that shortly fuel is going to approach $6 a gallon. Knock yourself out, that makes a lot of sense.

One thing I will say about TTR is sometimes you guys get your panties in such a bunch that what you say is truly hysterical and thank you for the laugh. Really, before you have a stroke you should relieve a little pressure in your under drawers so your brain can breathe.

And thank you for the actual intelligent responses to this thread. There have been some interesting intelligent answers.

I would also suggest that the science of mathematics is the best metric to use when you're trying to really figure costs... but maybe for some folks that may be too complicated. Didn't mean to confuse anyone with all that fancy multiplyin and stuff.

Fuel may go up another dollar tomorrow let's hope not and if you have a generator or an APU it's good idea to use it and if you enjoy idling, crank it up. At least you'll get a few seconds of heat when you light your money on fire.

At any rate good luck to everyone have a nice evening and please be safe.
