Why do trucks stay running when parked overnight?
At truck stops and roadsides and warehouses all across America (and presumably the world) tonight, there will be thousands and thousands of trucks idling away the hours. I know the truckers have to keep their air conditioners or heaters running, but can't the battery do that? And doesn't idling for hours and hours waste tremendous amounts of gas?
Why do truckers do this?
