APUS How much?

Too much....

 

Mine is $62 a week for 2 years. I put $1000 or $1500 down on it. Can't remember which. I'll probably get in trouble for saying this but I don't think it's too much.

 

Sure beats paying for fuel to idle the trucks engine. If you're buying one, it's $1500 down, and whatever olphart said per week. Lease ops pay $70 per week.

 

Huh? Try english.

Adding an APU to a lease truck - whether it's on it or not is $70 per week. Fuel to operate it is about 0.5 gal per day (a 10 hour rest break for instance) x 7 days x $4/gallon for diesel, or about $14 per week in diesel fuel. PMs run about $85, and I usually get around three per year, so per week that's about $5.00. So your cost per week is about $90-ish.

Now, idling a large diesel engine in fuel alone, neglecting all other costs... 1.5 gallons per hour, 10 hours per day, 7 days per week, at $4/gal... $420 per week. That doesn't include the internal damage to the engine that long periods of idling causes, nor the decrease in resale value becaue of high idle times.

 

I'm guessing you meant given. Oh and I saw what you wrote before you changed it.

 

I think everyone figured it out. Well maybe not everyone.......
