Profile For Robert B.

I don't understand the no idle more than 5 minutes laws. I understand the 5 minutes, most manufacturers recommend idling 5 minutes before shut-off after running hard to cool the turbo and save the wear on the bearings. As for the law it makes no sense. We have certified Clean idle trucks if they are newer than 2008 and have the certified Clean idle sticker which features a hologram of California on it. As for company with anti idle rules, I agree with the drivers how do we stay comfortable when it's too hot. Open the windows is what one company said. I got choice words for them but I'll keep it clean. I'd tell them to stick the truck. As for Apu yeah they are great when they work. I have one. I also had to get my truck reprogrammed to idle above 80 and below 30. This is why I'm doing a lease. I pay for the fuel. If I have to idle it's my choice although they don't allow it, I can rig it to idle. I won't give away my secret but we have a box with triangles and tarp straps are dirt cheap. I'm buying my next truck and first thing I'm having them do is disable idle interrupt. Second thing enable manual mode on the transmission so I can lock gear on steep grades and not blow the engine because it chose wrong gear.
