idleing

We do have this equipment available, but it is not standard, and can be quite expensive.

Yep. But some of the larger carriers, like Kriska, spec out their new trucks with APU's to keep fuel costs down. My Pro Star has one and it's great - keeps the batteries charged, allows me to plug in almost any household appliance and it keeps the cab warm or cooled while using less than 1/4gal per hour of diesel, as opposed to Xgal per hour wasted with the motor idling.

IdleAire was a great solution for small and large carriers, but we all know how that one ended up...

I'm guessing the 5th wheel near Grimsley (Casasblanca) is a good place to stop and fax your paperwork to customs when loading in Pickering ...

Getting pretty close to the border by the time you hit grimsby, I like to give them more time than that. There's a Husky by Pickering, exit 399 on the 401 I believe.
