How come truckers always leave their engines running at truck stops? - truck engines
If you have never driven across the country and stayed overnight at a truck stop or rest stop, you know what I mean. All cars have their engines running all night. I noticed in the summer and winter, no matter what.
First, it is not a huge waste of fuel? And that's more pressure on the large truck engines mean? But more than that, it is not only dangerous to be parked in a car with the engine running?

Truck Engines How Come Truckers Always Leave Their Engines Running At Truck Stops?

Too many people out there with the same mentality when it comes to big trucks. At least ask a stop to see why the start, most of them just assume that they are correct assunptions and complaints to the legislature and the authorities in this regard.
A large truck is designed to work for hours, while sitting still. A truck driver is legally obliged to take a break from 10 hours to 14 hours to complete. Have you ever tried to sleep, when the difference of 100 degrees without air conditioning? Or when is 20 degrees outside, no heat? It is very comfortable. Heating and air conditioning, at the bedside in a big truck, so if it is not designed, while the sleep function would be, why do you control it?
I would say, let the heat in the house when no one has a much greater loss of fuel. There are some drivers that do not allow any vehicle to run. This wastes fuel.
It is much more stressful for a large diesel engine to start a session, after a while, IDo not let go. Then he put all the oil flows into the sump. When run, it takes a few seconds for oil to flow, resulting in excessive engine wear. The beginning of a big truck full effort every time you have.
It is dangerous in a parked tractor while he runs it in a house while the furnace is in operation. This is the premise that everything is fine.
Almost all states will be cons-idling laws for large trucks. They have a law that says you to take a break of 10 hours and another law that says it can not be comfortable and sleep, rest. Why is it that when the police standing by the driver of the car hell give too lazy to sit in the car is idling with nobody in it?
This truck is "someone at home. When you go in winter, the furnace?
The truck is idling to provide heat or cooling for the driver to feel comfortable during sleep, and energy into electrical energy so that they can run TVs, laptops, etc.
Diesel idling only almost no pressure on them. A DETROIT Deisel Series 60 uses approximately 5 liters (1.75 liters) per hour at idle (1000 rpm)
The gas is usually sleep and paid by the Company in general, or hanging out, and I want a controlled environment? C or heat on the basis of the season. It does not burn gas while idealing much. I slept in my car overnight in a place of rest of 8 hours of my fuel gauge barely move when I woke up.
Because if they are off their hard time to start. In addition, if carring a burden he has to keep in the freezer overnight to keep warm rather than the use of AC and heating appliances, such as the NAP platform on the bed ..
It is difficult to begin, the need for heat or AC, and others. But they have a new device, do not remember the name but to shut down their engines and run on a separate power supply.
is Don, t take a lot of fuel to continue to operate as it is to start again. continues to operate and maintain the air of the air brakes. and in winter they sleep on their computers.
they may use the AC, heat, and everything that happens in the truck, such as television, microwave, mini refrigerator, all that is battery-drain 'run when the truck left the area and not in the heat, it is comfortable, the only way a driver can see all these things without doing the engine running, if they have a generator added to the car, but this is more weight in the lorry wheels book 18 times, even when cold and better for a diesel engine idling and maintenance of the instrument and RE --
and waste fuel and can be a burden on the diesel engine is a 24 / 7 idle whenever you want it to careful not to lose breached because the fuel, but not as much as you do not believe that in fact Diesel engines with diesel engines at idle with gas gas at idle to think that you would not waste, and are available in the trucks with AC and heat, comfortable in the truck sweat like hell or cold, it is not so dangerous, the enormous amount of pressure on the brakes,Round boxes are essentially a major source and that the spring is what the floats his terminal, if devoted to the air brakes in the atmosphere, is what keeps them in position, the air is to drive " air moves, the spring is really new to have so that the air brakes involved nothing to do with the engine running and the engine will not only dangerous,
