I also wish drivers would limit idling because of the lingering toxic diesel fumes and lung cancer. Get a bunk heater save fuel and think green.

If I'm cold, I idle the truck, If I'm warm, I idle the truck! I would remember that guy, what goes around, comes around!

1) Then they're not REAL Truckers!

2) The rest of us ARE!

3) They should go home, quit trucking, and get a factory job!

4) Or a job as an attendant for IdleAire! :lol:

...but that is when I pop in some ear plugs and my night is saved.

Anyway...this was in California??? :lol: :lol: ...nuf said. :P

:lol: :lol: :lol: I remember those days. Yeah,when I first came home, after being out, and my house was quiet, I couldnt sleep for nothing. I still cant sleep if it is quiet. :P

idle

i pull into a pilot next to a swift truck around 1500 that is idling. Im ok with this its cold. The next morning about 1030. A four wheeler pulls up he gets out and into the truck. Gets a book out of it then gets back in his 4 wheeler and drives off again. WOW the trucks been running since 1500 yesterday until 1030 this morning. HES NOT EVEN IN THERE. I need to key his and flatten his tires. I have never seen this before. How many of you idle your truck for hours and hours when youre not in it.
