Get another job. The trucks I’m driving now don’t shut off under 32F ( 0C ). If you look around. You’ll see. Many companies are treating drivers like kings and paying the same or better with sign on bonuses.

Also just as easy to bring in a bottle for the shop guy and suddenly. The settings have changed.

The ECU has to see ground speed to prevent it from shutting off. With cruise engaged, it sees that ground speed.
If the ECU detects no movement (odometer) it probably over rides any other setting and shuts the engine down after the timeout. Just a guess anyway.
Most places you go now will call the police if you leave your dog in the car and it's uncomfortable.
I've seen the police called when it wasn't bad out. About 65⁰ Fahrenheit. Dog in the car with windows cracked while we ate lunch. Police rolled up and threaten a ticket if the dog wasn't taken out of the car.
P S. , there typically aren't airbags in tractors for drivers but you can find airbags in a nicely loaded trailer. You may also find MORE straps on the freight to keep it secure than you have available for securing the driver. Notice a pattern?
The Mack at ABF don’t

I think every company can load whatever parameters they want into their tractors. It’s not a blanket option.

My truck I can idle up with the cruise, but will shut off at 3 mins. Though after it last service I got my manual shifting back

To a point. Years ago the engines companies won a lawsuit saying they do not have to honor any warrenties if the engines parameters are changed. Like tourque HP boost pressure
Do most North-end tractors have the temp indicator or just the fancy models?Thank goodness I didn't have to get out of the tractor and deal with Customs on this trip...
I talked with a friend in Presque Isle Me, said they had a -33 last week.
Breeze, that was an older Volvo with the smaller display but they did show outside temp. More recent Volvo tractors have a larger dashboard display with a lot more info. In fact, those newer displays are so good that on boring stretches of road, I watch YouTube videos on them.
PS - When dispatch calls me for a run, I either get a "fancy model" tractor or I stay home till they get me one. I've taken a page out of the Seabreeze playbook.

At all of the carriers that I worked for I always had a newer model tractor. You turned the key on and it started, you turned the key off it shut down. How about that technology!!!Breeze, that was an older Volvo with the smaller display but they did show outside temp. More recent Volvo tractors have a larger dashboard display with a lot more info.

Yep, after years of pulling and pushing the stop cable!At all of the carriers that I worked for I always had a newer model tractor. You turned the key on and it started, you turned the key off it shut down. How about that technology!!!
You were lucky. Breeze and I had to go in front with the crank handle, stick it through the little opening in the grill, catch the cogs on the harmonic balancer and give a hard crank with the spark advance retarded so it didn't kick back and break your arm. I use the crank now to stir drinks for party guests in my man cave.At all of the carriers that I worked for I always had a newer model tractor.

Did you adjust your drive chains?You were lucky.

No, I thought it was your turn.
