The only thing I can't stand is no parking. And the few places you can charge you huge fees. Also the idel issue. If I am hot I should be able to idle.
Seriously?!

I dont run into very many places who charge for parking, in CA only 2 places I have stopped which charge, TA in Ontario and 49er in Sacramento. Always plenty of places to park for free.
-
idling will be a problem everywheree soon. state mite no be a prob, its companies like walmart and home depot that hasd no idling on property
-
Sure wish we had apu's lol. That'll be the day.
-
APU's are not really cost effective when the truck will be retired at 500k.
-
then mines over due for retirement. 528360 miles

I have heard there are cheaper options than getting an apu, im not too knowledgeable in that area though just what I have heard. There are a lot of other places besides walmart and home depot that have no idle rules, then there are some that limit for like 5 min unless state law says otherwise like the Target dc I work at says 5min unless law permits otherwise. I have idled at a customer who posted no idling before, was over 100 degrees and I had to remain in the truck, I figured if anyone said anything I would of threw safety and health at them if it even did any good. I heard one driver once tell security at a place he had heat sensitive medicine and went off on threats, security left him alone after that but I dont know if that would work for others.

Theres a Walmart not far away in Aurora that has designated truck parking.
I just left Denver terminal and had to drop a tcall double parked. Parking was rough. -
I have the Espar and 2 small fans in the truck. Keeps it at about 70 in the summer during the night.
-
I've been running nights but come summer I'm gunna have to switch it up. I remember a few occasions getting stuck in no idle city/ states sweating my ars off during the day.
