    I have decided that I will never work for a company that doesn't have apu's or allows me to idle. I have become quite spoiled.

    They are set up to not idle between 35 and 65. We have auxiliary bunk heaters that work great. The only issue is if it's 60 and humid. Then it's a little uncomfortable. I've been quite comfortable sleeping the last 4 years.

    Knight had the same set up. Don't miss it at all. I wound up relocating the sensor on my truck. It helped a little.

    I didn't claim any unpaid per diem as I couldn't figure out how much I had already been paid by the company. If it was stated clearly on the W2 then I would be more inclined to itemize as the IRS would it all laid out for them.

    Or claim the whole amount due and deal with it later if at all.... just an option.

    Not enough juice to run it all night. It'll peter out sometime around 3:00am (and wake me up with the beeping as the battery dies).

    The amount Abilene takes out is actually on paystub (not settlement)..
