    I've used idle air at the Pilot in Ft. Worth, the Love's in Baytown and the TA in Jackson. I never noticed any offending odors from any of those locations. I wish there were more locations, I'd use it every time.

    If what I'm reading is true, they may make a come back. We can just hope and wait and see how it goes though. It'd be nice if what they say they are trying to do holds up.

    This blog has information on prior complaints and what they may try to fix.

    They are putting new stuff up in White Pine Tn as well. I have never used it,just didn't seem cost effective to me. For what they charge I could get a motel with a shower.

    I'm hooked up to IA here in Laredo. They must make money hand over fist here, every slot appears to be taken.

    I may have to turn up the thermostat, its about to freeze me out, lol!

    They charge $1.99 an hour for the service, so during a 10hr break it will cost right at $20. That doesn't sound like any motel/shower combo I want to visit or use.

    Figure in the cost of a shower and you're getting into cheap hotel room range. I don't know of anyone that gets a hotel room for 10 hours anyway. Might as well stay in the sleeper and idle for 10 hours.
