Big Jeep on 44's put it best, and quoting from another thread:
"Because not everone wants to live like a hobo or squatter to enable a company to save on idle fuel like they equiped their tractors with an apu ,but have not. When one company gets enough drivers to sacrafice basic comfort of heat in winter and cool air in hot summer and starts to save big money on fuel then other companies take notice ,and adopt similar policy this makes living like a hobo the normal for all drivers and not just those dumb enough to willingly sacrafice the basics . Bottom line is if those like carter insisted on heat in winter and ac in summer companies would need to make the investment in the equipment required for the idle reduction they desire,and could not repramand or terminate drivers for simply staying warm or cool ...And times may be tight ,but I've yet to see the AC/Heating units shut off at the management offices of any of these carriers with office workers sitting on heating pads in sub zero clothing to stay warm, and I've yet to see any office persons sitting in their wife beater/boxers sweating at their desk while a 12v plug in fan blows hot summer air at them ,but that's because those offices would be empty if those were daily living conditions experienced by the office staff ,but yet you got drivers who think they are saving the company by living like a squatter ...Tell mr CEO to sell the corporate jet and buy some tripaks ."
