    Most bunk heaters even with APU turn off after 10 or 12 hours. Just turn it off then on just as you go to sleep.
    Even with an APU I let it idle below 20 degrees. If management has a problem with that it's time to start looking for next job.

    Doesn't "retarded fuel" mess up the timing or do the "Retarded Fuel Filters" remove the Retardation??

    Don't worry, the staff at TTR has insured it's wholesomeness, by wisely thinking ahead. Besides, who ever heard a trucker say a discouraging word? And the skies remained cloudy all day,,,

    they’ve got Carrier APUs, generators.
    And if the apu quits they can idle, but if you have high idle time they slow you from 68 to 65ish.

    I know how to use it just the auto start feature is crap in these trucks. And doesn't keep the batteries charged overnight which is the biggest issue
