My co. wont pay for, only need in summer cause our trucks are equipped with a catalytic heater running off diesel in tank for winter (but Boss, I live in AZ!!!):

 

Another great use for Idle-Aire is the movies and Internet. Even though my company provides me with a Tri-Pac (APU),I don't have a laptop so the Idle-Aire is a great option for those times you need to reset your hours and/or spend some time on the Internet.

 

Okay - I am a complete newbie. Are these things the big yellow tubes that are hooked up to the passenger window? I've seen those at a truckstop - gives me the SHIVERS! The thing in the picture above looks small - like one of the old portable hair dryers. Those things at the truckstop look like something out of a sci-fi movie! Would someone please explain the attaching/access part of it a little more specifically to me? And what is the cost for renting these thingies?

 

my hubby works for a co. that will/does pay for the idleaire and he loves it, not so much in the winter time but summer its a great way to take a brake, and stay cool...and of course kick back and watch your fav tv programs/movies without being interupted

 

Arrow trucking in Tulsa Oklahoma has that set-up at their terminal...I wonder if they are one of the companies that supply it for their driver...

 

I've always wondered who the hell has time to sit around with an Idle-Aire tube in their window. I do know it's not all it's cracked up to be.
