Winter time.
I what for grid heater to cycle then start truck.
Kick it into high idle with exhaust brake on
Turn on dash blower and go open gates
Summer time.
Start truck.....high idle and A/C ON
Then go open gates
By the time I have gates open and get back to truck time to roll.
When I grew up in WY/UT......
No idling just block heaters
Otherwise trucks were going to be hard to start
I was already cold from shoveling a path to truck and clearing windows of snow/ice so block heaters got warm air moving quickly
