    Well that's all I need to know. I'll never use one now. Who needs the stink? At least when I idle my truck I don't smell the urinoasis outside my truck.

    I agree people shouldnt be in spots in which they do not belong rather its handicapped, idleair or just some ridiculous spot someone decided to choose and be in the way.

    Its funny im a smoker but I hate the smell of it, most who get in my truck wouldnt believe I smoked, I never smoke with windows up, I always febreeze my truck plus I have 2 vent air fresheners one in the front and one in the sleeper. I need to quit but it seems harder driving a truck, I quit for over a month before going on the road, while I have been home the past couple days I smoke like 80% less in a day....something about driving gets me lighting up more.
    Trucking is killing me in more than one way lol

    Oh but driver, it is their right.

    Thankfully the days of the cigarette smoke filled truck stops are gone, you can make it from the shower back to your truck without smelling like an ashtray.

    I'd rather smell a smoke stench than some of the drivers I've had the misfortune of standing next to at a customer. They smelled so bad they'd easily knock a buzzard off of a fresh manure wagon.

    Does idle air have tv built into the units? Or do I have to hook up my own tv to it? I noticed the units have a screen on them
