I've made a living off of trucks and I warm them up every time. I saw a guy about 10 years ago fire up his diesel at about +5 degrees, he fired it up and hauled azz only to bend every push rod in the motor... lol.. I told him about 20 mins. of warm up would have avoided that tow and repair bill, so did the tech who had to repair it.... lol
There are companies that will FIRE drivers for a 20-minute idle. I get flak for more than a 5-minute warm-up, REGARDLESS of temperature, and for idling longer than 3 minutes at any time. There is NO reason to idle that long, period!
