Truck Driving Forums

Ok lets see if any one can give me a good answer to this. Trucks move america but yet every one wantsx to make us shut our trucks off  when we sleep. why is that? We start doing this and there will be more deaths in america then there all ready is. To me this country has things backwards they have also forgot with out trucks america stops. So i say screw there laws I will idel my truck when i sleep or they wont get there frienght. I understand why no one will shut there trucks down for the fuel but come on guys how are we supposed to get rest if we have no ac?

You gotta be just out of school,cause from your post you aint no owner operator. Most companys offer a fuel bonus you know for shutting that truck off when it aint moving. If your truck aint equipted with a gen pack they offer a thing called Idel Air. Alot of these companys offer it to there drivers for free. Some will even reinburst you for the receipt if you turn it in.If they dont you can turn it in with your taxes and get that money back,but be careful,if your company offers you a perdem on your mileage,then theyve pretty much got you by the tail...Check into it..Good Luck

well thats were your wrong yes i was an o/o till i had to park my truck due to high fuel prices. that is true some do and some dont. but wait you havent been to houston have you there are no idel air stations in houston and the only ones are in baytown well i hate to tell you this some of us cant go to baytown from katy the woodlands conroe so the laws need to look at that
