    I need an APU. Idling an emissions truck is going to cause it to have emissions problems. Whether it is mine or a companies truck, I don't want to deal with it.

    You're supposed to get rabies shots if it's even possible you were exposed to it. A bat inside your living space while you were asleep is considered to be exposed. I guess you lived to tell the tale, though.

    Do you realise you are costing the company you work for 3-4k a month? Do they even realise that?

    Not to mention idling is illegal in several northeastern states.
