Just picked up our first diesel class A this week. He was probably waiting for the engine temp to come up. I sat today when leaving and it took a good deal of time after being cold for 6 days. I wouldn't move a expensive rig like that until the needle started moving either.

If I pull into a rest area or truck stop after tooling along at 65mph for hours, I will idle for a few minutes, but not 20. Same when I first pull into an rv park to register, but by the time you get to the site things should be cooled down.
