Now your getting it. If you got a tight time schedule on a load then rush when the opportunity to is safe otherwise why waste the gas. Oh also if you don't have or want to pay for an APU you can get an inverter generator and a home portable ac ac unit for the summer time. Just mount the generator to your truck and run a cord to your shore power plug for the truck. That way it will run everything. If you don't have a shore power plug then just run the cord in to the cab. One of our guys got a predator generator from harbor freight and a ac unit from home Depot. Ran him just under a grand for everything. Much better then several thousand for an APU.
