Best way for YOU to cut your idle is to just quit driving, Mr. Billy Big Rig!

The answers are there, But I do not know where. Optimistic and hopeful dreams, Are all I have so it seems. The future I do not know, So all I can do is take it slow. But I do know it will work out, So I wait and watch without a doubt.

2. What difference does it make what my sexual preferences are? I could screw every warm blooded creature on the planet & it still wouldn't make you a truckdriver. I will admit that I am different from most other men. They are all these testosterone crazed animals that just want to fornicate wildly with anything that moves. I'm not like that. I don't care if it moves.

1. Who the F**k are you to question my sexuality?

This may seem like a silly suggestion, and it's only marginally effective, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Get a bin of ice and put it in front of the fan. I did that quite a bit when my Century's air conditioner died in August. Funny thing was, after a month of that bull, they sent me to the Atlanta terminal... where they installed a TriPac. Heck, my Qualcomm lists my idle at 0.00% (outside of a 5 minute warm-up/cool-down period).
By the way, did your company ever say what they would do to reduce idle times (IE, paid IdleAire, APU's, etc)? I'm quite eager to hear their official and unofficial reasons for such antics.

As far as paid IdleAire, APUs, etc....i dont see Swift spending the money to put those on trucks, or pay for I/A. |
