    All the new trucks at KLLM have inverters and APU's. Of course, my boyfriend got one of the old trucks.:biggrin_25512:

    the apu's are nice and so is idle air. but with the way things are getting it's gonna get more and more of a challenge to sleep at night. in the n.e. area they are making it illegal to idle and are even trying to stop the apu's.

    Wal Mart, Watkins Shepherd, Prime are some that I know of. Start watching for trucks that have them on them and the company name.

    I believe that if/when they succeed in that nonsense they will begin to experience a shortage of goods. At least I would hope truckers would do that.

    and there is gonna be a drastic change in the industry also. more terminals popping up with more day cabs than the traditional sleepers.

    They want the driver's to drive safely but could careless if they are unable to sleep in 100 degree heat.
