    Well, you're sorta right. I'm certainly not makin' a "good living," (retired, BTDT):D but we do seem to have a bit of fun here, now and then.;)

    I personally never needed, or wanted a APU or inverter. My 12 volt Igloo kept food cold, and it would have to be very cold out for me to idle the engine anyways. Hot areas were a different situation. If I had a load to a hot area, I would be all over dispatch for a pre-planned load to get moving fast. It usually worked out fine.
