    IIRC there is a bunk heater in all of the lightweights so you shouldn't have to idle.

    You should have an APU by then. IIRC the previous policy was you could idle, but you still had to meet the minimum fuel economy requirement.

    Thanks IP, i did not know if they could fit a bunk heater in the cuties being that they are so small. I am pretty sure i can come up with some more stupid questions later.

    Bunk heater is about the size of a loaf of bread.

    And takes up three times as much space. fortunately they don't get hot under the bunk so you can store things on them, BUT VERIFY THAT FIRST:biggrin_25515:

    The bunk heater keeps you toasty. You won't need to idle, and they won't set it up. If your truck doesn't have one, IMMEDIATELY set up the appointment w/ the shop to have it installed, and tell your FM the appointment date and time, then they will route you to the terminal for the appointment.
