    They have prepass. No apu, at least not in the Prostars. They're getting some Freightliners into their fleet now. Don't know about those. Idling is allowed, & the trucks have bunk heaters. I never had a problem being comfortable temperature-wise. Put my own inverter in the truck.

    well what kind of inverter do you have to get and how much do they cost I don't need much just something to maybe run a fridge maybe a little oven or small microwave and a laptop which I would use to watch tv and chat with

    Inverters come in various watt capabilities. I picked up a smaller wattage one at a Pilot. I rarely use it. Think it's 900 watts tho. Can't remember what I paid for it. Got it almost a year ago. Most of the electronics I use in my truck run off the 12v plug-ins in the truck. Of course, I don't run all the stuff you've mentioned, but plenty of guys do.

    As as for washing the trucks, you can get I washed at McElroy terminals, & they also have an account at Blue Beacon truck washes. If I remember correctly, I think they'll allow you to wash it a Blue Beacon about every month & a half. No reimbursal tho. Just go in, tell them it's a McElroy truck, give them some info, then sign for it. Simple. Unless they've changed something since August.
