    I'd say it's closer to half of the fleet, as far as how many trucks have APUs, and there are at least five different brands of APU. I have a Blackrock, which gives me two outlets in one receptacle, but those don't have juice unless the APU is running. If you want to power and charge things while you're driving, you need an inverter. I got a 2500W inverter from a former driver here and had the La Mirada shop install it for me. They didn't question the wattage whatsoever.

    It should also be mentioned that APUs are nice to have, when they're working. When they break down, they're a low priority for the shops to fix.
