    I would consider using it if 1) they would find a way to sanitize the air somehow due to smoking and 2) if there were a reasonable annual rate.

    I'm not holding my breath for either one.

    From the article:
    It's going to take a lot more than 40 people to clean up the mess that Idle Aire left behind.

    I have posted on another thread that Shorepower, up in the northwest, only charges 75 cents per hour to plug into an electrical outlet. With an APU on our truck, that's all we need and the most we're willing to pay for. We'll see if they can come up with an affordable option like that.

    I simply don't need the rest of the services due to having a cell phone, data card, and satellite TV. I filled out their survey that stated the same thing.

    I'd like to see their WiFi come back. That was the only part of their service I used. Wandering Wifi, the service at the truckstop, is hit or miss. Idleaire's was always good, fast and reasonably priced. I have a data card through Sprint as well, but with the 5 gig limit it's nice to have a decent Wifi service to make your Sprint data last longer. Give me a good internet connection, and Hulu.com, I don't need a TV.

    Maybe idle air needed a smokers side and a non smoker side that might have made a difference plus the cost per hour.

    Try Millenicom if you don't like the 5GB limit that Sprint imposes on their data plans.

    How much more of our tax dollars are they going to suck up in grants again before they go down in flames ???
