    I bet that's you parked to the left of me in Lancaster listening to my APU run. :D

    If you have moisture being introduced into your truck, then you have a defective unit. Moisture means that your heat exchanger is leaking.

    Haahaa...no, not me. Since so much of my time going to be wasted there I decided to stay at the T/A up the road last nite to get a shower and dinner. I'll be putting my truck in the shop later this morning. Then starts the big wait.

    So, has this changed recently? Swift trucks have APUs now?

    They have a few that they are testing, very few. Not standard equipment as of now.

    Drivers are worthless pieces of meat behind the wheel. Why spend the money on APU's?

    Just back with the truth. Love to you too! :biggrin_2559: Swift loves their drivers. They really, really care about you!

    BTW my statement is for a major part of the industry, not just singling out Swift. The palce I have been almost 3 years now sucks almost as bad. I am home everyday, that's about it.
