Stop Idling for Heat: The Winter Survival Guide

Winter is here, and the temptation to idle is strong. But idling burns about a gallon of diesel per hour. Run that for a 10-hour break, and you’ve just burned $40. Do that every night for a month, and you’re looking at over $1,000 in fuel—plus extra wear on your engine.

And that’s if you don’t get slapped with a fine in a strict anti-idling state. The smarter move? A 12-Volt Electric Blanket with a Timer.

These heavy-duty blankets draw minimal power and keep the heat right where you need it—on you. Set the timer so it shuts off before it drains your batteries. Pair it with Magnetic Blackout Curtains for thermal insulation, and you’ve got a warm bunk for pennies a night. Keep the engine off and the profits on.
