    Idleaire fails to find buyer, closing Friday Knoxville News Sentinel

    They were shopping for a buyer, but weren't able to find one. Report says that they're planning to close on Friday. No other information at this time.

    Ok, just wondered, heard another driver talking abt them seizing operations after 12am the 29th of January. From what he said, the truckstop manager got an email, stating that the IdleAire services will seize at that time, and no IdleAire personnel is around.

    Is this system even working still? I saw several drivers in the Oklahoma City Petro with them in their window.. and it appeared there was a glowing screen from what I could tell from the lot. I've never used it.. just curious.

    Well being over here at the T/A at exit 142 in Oklahoma City, nobody has them in their windows. Haven't seen any IdleAire personnal since I got here on Thursday. I did talk to one of a drivers on Friday morning though, he said his shut off. I am using the Wi-Fi from IdleAire right now, but that could be shut off tomorrow.

    The wifi is up as I connected just to see.. and a few others just put them in their windows around me recently even though there is a sign that its not operational on the door. I took a stroll over there earlier to check it out.

    I can't say I'll miss the people coming to my truck and trying to sign me up while I'm trying to sleep.

    I went past the TA in Albert Lea, Minnesota yesterday and the overhaed structures were there but there were none of those big yellow hoses hanging down from them as far as I could see.
    Don't trust anybody. Especially that guy in the mirror.

    Idleaire is re-opening in a few locations.

    A company called Convoy Solutions is going to give it another go it appears.

    I know Pilot in Laredo is one location and the one at JJ's (South of Little Rock) was almost ready last week. I was told one in PA is up and running...I'm guessing the All American TS...

    I hope idleaire makes a comeback. I never used it once except for times the parking was crowded due to having a tripac, Verizon air card, cell phone, and dozens of movies. When they started knocking the price down, I felt that would help it take off. The features that it had that all my stuff wouldn't do was pretty cool too. Heck, even fleets were jumping on the bandwagon which cut idling/maintenance costs and provided a comfortable setting for a driver.

    I still don't see how it takes up a lot of parking lot space like some people have complained. From an overhead view, one could easily see it costs a lot only a few spots, but the roomy and angled pull-ins have to be a lot safer that 90* backings that usually are super tight ( eh hem Flying J Denver).

    The TA in Harrisburg, PA tore out all the Idleaire equipment. I for one am glad. That place is way too small the way it is. I hope others follow suit.

    I would be ok with it if they droped priceing and if the companys would pay for it, celedon only covered 1/2 the price and you paid for the other 1/2 so I could never see the benifit. on the other hand, when risinger brothers had company drivers, they footed the whole bill so yeh, i used it

    IdleAir was a waste of money. It's cheaper to idle the truck
