Talking about driver education, refrigerated trucks never get to turn off the engine until they unload the cargo.

The refrigeration unit often runs on a separate unit powered by its own engine, not the engine powering the truck. Don’t get excited just yet, as those engines do not run clean. They do use less fuel than the truck’s engine, though.
