Get an APU or dont park where police or DOT patrol? Dont go to states that are aggressively targeting truckers for idling?
Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Stay at a Holiday Inn Express...

Charge a min fee of $20 a mile to deliver to those Yankee states should take care of the problem.
Lone Ranger 13, skyviper73 and 6wheeler Thank this. -

some truck stops have electrical plug in serve that is very inexpensive and easy to use.

those generator/inverters are nice too and I believe they dont violate idle laws. The honda one will run I think close to $1000 and there is a decent Yamaha I believe it was for around $700 which can also run up to 17hrs on a gallon of gas.

Just idle till someone tells you to stop

Hunt's Point, and possibly other places have people checking who in turn will turn you in.
Despite the signage, trucks still idle most places out east, with impunity, from what I have observed.
Shore power is available to be purchased at limited locations, and IdleAir is available at some others. APUs are a mixed blessing, great if they work, not so good when they don't and a truck has been set to not idle because of them.
I saw a newer Rigmaster on the way back from the Big Apple, and it wasn't anywhere nearly as annoying as they used to be, nicer cover on them now, too. -
with all that humidity on the east side. kind of hard NOT to idle.
a lot of times you'll see more newer trucks idling then older trucks.
