    "The DNR actually picked the trucks that will receive APUs. If your truck is on the list your FM will let you know so you can get in to get it installed."

    "This was a grant that we applied for and won. Cost was always an issue with the APUs, especially to install on all trucks. Also, what wasn't mentioned, they are battery units, which are different from the APUs that were originally tested."

    Both above quotes again taken from responses made by the TMC Transportation Facebook site.
     
    Baack Thanks this.

    Have a disposal problem there.

    You also have a system that will not last for the 10 hour break and definately not for a 34.

    I think they will work that out for 10 hour, 34 no way.
    But I think we're headed that way.

    Why do so many have to be so cynical. First it's endless b1tch1ng that they won't install APU's. Now that some are being installed, your first asinine assumption is that they will be crap. I for one hope to make the list. I'll gladly give it a shot.
     
    leo Thanks this.
