    BUT......

    What if you had to idle and put thousands of hours on your engine, and spend tens of thousands of dollars on fuel in the process,

    AND......

    Leaving a massive carbon footprint for the children.

    What then?

    What's a Stand Alone Bunk Heater: another Person or a Heavy Blanky??

    Except for Day Cabs, all the Under Bunk devices I used produced HEAT or A/C yet were tied to the Front Engine for Secured Operation.

    I Drove FOR Owner Operators So I Was Not Concerned About Fuel Purchase.
    I Drove "like an owner operator", NOT AS an Owner Op.

    The PAST Elder Generations left their Carbon Footprints for US, so WE can leave OURS for The FUTURE, and so on, and so forth, and so be it.

    The "massive carbon footprint" absorbs the MASSIVE PLASTIC CONTAMINATION. Chew Vigorously while Walking Tall.

    Since my company doesn't put such niceties like APUs or bunk heaters in their company trucks, I will continue to idle for my personal comfort without giving carbon footprints or the children another thought.
    For the first time in a year, I am going to be sleeping in this truck 2 nights in a row. Oh well, money talks.
