    Yeah sure... I ran local and guess what I idled a hella lot more during then ,because local we sat a got tired while sitting for 8 hours to get loaded to only go 100 miles away. We idled while in line and while at truck stops during local. It wasn't an issue with this truck because it had a pretty emissions cat. APU is a very valuable piece of equipment.

    It’s a very expensive piece of equipment, and for someone like me who wouldn’t see the APU pay for itself during the time I have the truck it isn’t very valuable.

    I idle too. Truck needs to run for the pump to operate.

    Daycabs don't have room for a tripac.

    I've never sat for 8 ON DUTY hours in 20 years.

    If I was planning otr. I'd consider it.
    Right now. I have no plans or desire for otr or eld.

    I can see milk haulers. As they have mostly sleepers and the plant seems to break down once a month.

    And occasionally oil haulers.

    What does the insurance company say?

    Awhile back i traded a 10 escape for a 12 infinity g37x and the insurance was cheaper on the infinity because it had those safety options.
    Don't know if that applies to trucks tho.

    Don't know. I asked for a quote. Told her I didn't have a truck yet. Also told her intrastate. Don't know if that matters.

    So far it's on the cheaper end. For the whole enchilada. Bobtail/1 mil/100,000/etc. Bobtail would probably be the only difference.

    Oh if it's a sleeper cab you want the SmartPark HVAC. That is SWEET having key-off A/C in the summer.
