It's because animals have celebrity members of PETA to champion their cause. All truck drivers have is the Rubber Duck.

You'd be surprise anymore how many companies are putting APU on their trucks.

Be like me stay off the east and dare them to say a thing about me idling at -20 degrees.

Yeah, I was stuck on I-81 south Thursday near Exit 162 for about 3 hrs, moved about 12 miles and then stuck at the 150 for another 4 hrs. I was delivering a load of salt to Penn DOT in Weatherly and they said that the governor had them hold off plowing to save money. Too bad so many people lost money because they had to idle and couldn't make delivery times.

The winters I can usually bundle up, but then again, I'm not going to shut down just to freeze to death either. The summers are what can get bad. I hate the heat and WANT the air conditioner.

difficulties

NJ - Sleeping or resting in a sleeper berth in nonresidential
zone unless equipped with auxiliary heating/cooling

NY - Comply with passenger comfort laws (not sure if this applies to drivers)
