MBE900 blows smoke after long idle...

I was wondering if anyone knows why after 8 hours of idling when I leave the truck stop, it looks like I am leaving a smoke screen behind me for about 5-10 minutes. I have tried just slow idling, idling at 1000 rpm...it doesn't make a difference. The truck has about 97,000 miles and all pm's have been completed. Any ideas?

Thanks!

If it's white smoke it's unburned diesel fuel built up in your cylinders. This is a common occurrence,black smoke can mean bad injectors,turbo problems,dirty filters ,bad fuel.
