Question About APUS

No comparison at all, your husband is there by HIS choice, an animal is not.

 

well la de da,lolOne day i'm going to be with a company with fast trks.Heck I would welcome a 65 mph trk and I use to think thats ungodly slow after the last company with 80 mph trks,lol.But now,compared to what I drive,65 is FASTTTTTTTTTTTTT.You should see swifty,crst,werner,pass me like im sitting still,lol.

 

im not governed, cruzzz right along.

 

I am going to call you out on that comment.


Provide the proof for that.....

 

You would think with the amount of time/money/manpower carriers put into making the trucks more energy efficient, they would find a energy & environmentally friendly solution to make their drivers a bit more comfortable.

I don't understand how the DOT and the FMCSA can enact all these rules & regulations regarding driver safety (i.e. sleep apnea, driver fatigue, etc.) when you have drivers trying to sleep when the inside of their trucks can reach upwards of 100+ degrees.

 

don't forget cold enough to live in a household freezer/refrigerator.

 

I can tell you when it's that hot,my truck is running dont care about tickets.

 

Well, he does have one of those bunk heater thingies (and good GAWD I want one for the house!).

And I realize it is his choice to do truck driving and he's not complaining - it's me who worries that he'll get sick or worse from the heat in the summer.

 

I am kicking myself now.

January, my bunk heater quit working. I have the standard 7500 BTU bunk heater. I COULD have had a 13,900 BTU heater installed.

It would have been nice in these MN sub zero temps.

 

I'd like to see that as well. Most APU's average a 1/4 gal of fuel consumed for each hour of use compared to 1 gal average for each hour of idle.
