starting school, monday looking for apu companies

What about driver pay,hometime and miles????there is ways to keep your truck idle all day and night if u want,even if the company dont like the idea.

 

was that for the full system or just the heat and a/c pice new or used?? iv'e been quoted 10 - 17 grand for the same system all the bells and whistles. seems like there selling for what they want to

 

I made it very clear to my DM when I upgrade my truck (which should be soon) I want an apu. Sure inverters are fine, as long as you don't need more than 300w because that's all they let us have. And the electrical system in my truck is messed up so my inverter undervolts constantly.

To not have to worry about getting hassled idling my truck, not have to mess with an inverter, be able to watch tv on a break and not have it turn off every time the opti idle starts the truck, to have a microwave and be able to use my ps3...I'd be in the lap of luxury. I've been on a reset all day, does it show?

 

calling bs on 8 mpg

 

I use a C-PAP and my truck doesn't have an APU. I'm able to run it off straight battery power for 6-7hrs as well as my fridge without draining it. I don't use a heated humidifier with my C-PAP and it draws a maximum of 150 watts when on but not connected to my mask. The watt draw varies between 70 and 100 when I am breathing with it so when you are using it the power consumption is actually lower than when its running in standby mode. Additionally my truck has a low voltage cutoff which will shut down accesory power if the voltage drops below 12. 4 batteries with a 950 CCA capacity each holds a lot of reserve juice.

 

Maybe he drives one of those Prime rolling "gas cans", lol.

 

Of course it's bs, lol.

And no way should apu's be standard equipment on trucks. If you don't need one, why pay an extra 10 grand for the truck?

 

You don't need air conditioners or heaters either, but they have become standard equipment over the years. Power seats, windows, and locks, air ride adjustable seats, radios, tilt adjustable steering wheels, carpeting .... etc etc etc.
