Hello to everyone on trucking truth, this is an awsome site. You really tell it like it is and it's fun to read about trucking here. My question is, how do you guys and ladies deal with the no idle laws in states like NJ when it's 90 degrees out and your truck has no apu? Truck stops and rest areas can smell like diesel fumes on a warm humid night and if you slept with your windows down would you feel unsafe? The only reason I know about the no idle laws and the fumes is because I used to stop at the Vince Lombardi rest area on the NJ Turnpike all the time on my way to Newark Airport. Also, can you be fined for idling in those states and who would pay that fine? The driver or your company?
