    Does Roehl/Schneider have APUs on all there units now? Ive read old posts from 3-4 years ago that say some of them had them, just wondering if its standard for these companies now?

    I currently work for Schneider for two years and company drivers don't have APUs. But they do have a few units with electric APU's. I had a truck with one. In my opinion they are..meh. They work best if the truck is "pre cooled" before you turn them on. If you have the electric APU on full blast and it's 89 degrees at night the batteries won't last the ten hour break that's for sure. And the truck has extra batteries and you know what that does with your weight.
