Cold weather diesel owners

[Kashkakat v.2.0]

3. Im interested in this topic bc I have a related problem

The business across the street takes numerous semi & short truck deliveries per day and they promised us neighbors a no engine idling policy. In reality its been like pulling teeth to get them to comply - I think the problem is mainly that the management doesn't really want to bother with having to deal with the constant communication to their vendors that seems to be required to enforce the rule.

My understanding is that the new technology doesn't require the long start up process that it used to and nowadays theres really no reason for the idling. Some seem to have no problems with turning off their engines but others clearly have an attitude problem. They'll comply for a few weeks but then start up again -arghhhh.

Anyway.... Im interested too in what the rationale might be.

On the surface it looks like just being a jerk - ie I have to be out here in the cold at 5:30 am so Im going to make as much noise as I can to wake everyone up. This is often accompanied by a lot of banging of the metal doors and yelling.

But pls correct me if Im missing something- thnx!!!
