    Not that I've heard of, but I've seen some pretty cheap deals on ebay for the espar heaters.

    its usually twice a week, one starts Monday and another starts Wednesday, and if ya need flatbed orientation its done wed and fri.

    and kmx , just call the impact office on Monday and they can tell ya, I know they have discounts on pm,s and have saw flyers on specials on apu,s in the Louisville area.

    kmx7022, it seems many think own authority is a piece of cake and is easy. its tough making the transition form being leased to having your own authority, and just as tough making the transition back to being leased after having authority. I am much more relaxed now and at the age I was ready to cut back some.

    I am glad to see you have found a way to make things work for you here.
     
    Flightline Thanks this.

    I'm sitting in willington, ct now. Deciding whether I want to keep going or not. I thought I would kill some time here doing some laundry but they have no water for some reason. Rob

    I'm in the market for a new heater myself. This about the cheapest I've seen for an espar.
    Cernis' at Austintown, Oh.

    http://www.bunkheaters.com/

    I've had webasto and espar both. My experience with webasto, I had to change the burner cup just about every year and a half without fail. Still not sure why.
    Espar, I had five years and didn't do anything but change fuel filters and run it.
    The only difference being the webasto was in a w900 with a 60" flat top and the espar was in an aerocab.

    Grabbed a load that I wasn't matched to. 70 miles DH from near by in SC to Denver then to Salt Lake City.

    Called the agent and asked if my 52' step would be OK to load some wire on spools that called for a 53'. Time to start looking for a reload for Monday :)

    Weather forecast indicates it's going to be cold, but no snow.
