[QUOTE="soberups, post: 930608, member: 14668"] Idle as needed to maintain adequate heat during your lunch and break. If they whine about it the next day, just nod your head and say "I'll work on that". Repeat as necessary. Eventually they will find something else to whine about. You can also play the safety card if they get really obnoxious about it. Sitting in an unheated cab for any length of time on a cold day with the doors shut will cause your windshield and windows to fog up or even freeze over from the condensation of your breath. At that point you will be unable to drive safely until you run the defroster...[I]which requires idling[/I]. So they will have the choice of (a) letting you drive as far as necessary [B]on the clock[/B] to a heated location for lunch and break (b) letting you idle and run the heater as needed [I]during [/I]your lunch and break or (c) letting the windows fog up during your break and then having you sit there and idle [B]on the clock[/B] until your windows are clear enough to drive safely. Eventually they will shut the friend&%k up and settle for option (b). [/QUOTE]
