werner and APU's

You don't have to stay in the truck if you want to pay for a hotel room. The APU just makes it not idle and waste fuel. The APU will use fuel, but considerably less than the truck itself. For me, I just stay in the truck. I see no need in wasting money. Everything is already sky high out there for truckers. The APU allows the driver to have access to heat, A/C, and outlet plugs for your appliances. I like it but I can't wait to have my own truck. That truck gets very small when you get two people living in it lol!

 

Not sure that is a new rule. Has been happening for a couple years now. I do believe that it depends on where the truck is parked though as you have to access to restroom facilities.

 

APU or not i am not staying in a truck if i can afford a motel room it would be nice to have a real bed shower tv and bathroom. as i think it would be inhumane not to have a bathroom

 

i thought Werner doesnt have apu's anymore or you are not allowed to use them?????? as i am not working for them yet not sure if this is true just asking.

 

Newer trucks don't have it... Mines a 09 cascadia have it

 

so if i get a new truck after orientation and there is no apu and i hear werner does not allow you to idle how do i run heat/ac power and all that stuff. sorry im a newbie so have lots of questions thank you all for everthing so far!

 

you use the bunk bed heater and thats all you have

i am in one where there are no APU and no idleing and only the bunk heater

 

wow thats terrible do you have any power to run tv labtop ect.

 

Pretty much you have to charge them while the truck is running
