works great,only problem I have is you need to leave a little crack in the sleeper curtain so that the heat or ac gets to the bunk,I usually like it completely dark so this is a small sacrafice.
The cable tv is good,I haven't used some of the other services like internet or telephone. Cost me $1.85 an hour with a 1 hour minimum.

If you have to pay for your own fuel it is definately much, much, much cheaper than idling. Well worth the money.

Huh the majority of my 10 hr breaks take place on shipper/receivers property or rest areas in route as they make better use of time ,And I rarely shut down at a truck stop for my 10 HR ,and only hit the truck stop to fuel and shower and then I'm on my way again...So if your taking enough 10 Hr breaks to make idleaire a worthwhile investment you spending a-lot of time there . :wink:

a 10hr shut down is 18.50 and 10 hr at 2.50 a gallon is 25 .00 at 1 gallon per hr ...for only saving $6.50 that AC better be darn cold off that idleaire station .

IdleAire has internet and stuff too. Its a good idea for the o/o, but I wouldn't as a company driver.
I see more and more of them popping up, so they must be doing well 8)
