Yes, but if it's sunny, it could be 95 degrees in the truck. The trick is to buy and APU that you can't here 2 or three trucks away. You can barely hear mine if you are parked in the truck next to me.

one that another person can't hear, or barely can, and one that doesn't blow out smoke like an old clunker vehicle. there's nothing worse than having my vents open and having to shut them due to the smokey apu on the tractor next to me.

You keep ten squirrels in a cage. Them running around on their wheel kicks up a breeze to keep you cool. For electricity you put on the little generator attachment from an old school 10 speed bike. Of course we arent going to hear your "APU".

2. Flip toggle switch to off 3. Grab handful of wires and pull hard 4. Now Google "How to reduce size of bruises recieved during a sound beating".

No squirrels were harmed in the manufacturing of my APU

Oh yeah, but did you get the deluxe model with the flux capacitor and the Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor so you can time travel also?

Some companies have their trucks set to die when idling...
...UNLESS... ...you hit the PTO switch, generating fast idle. But at least the damn thing will idle and let you get some sleep in 98-degree nights. Yes, it wastes more fuel and is a stupid way to set up a truck...but since when did bean counters know common sense from a hole in the ground?

Hell yeah! How do you think I used to run 5,500 miles a week solo? Time travel is an invaluable tool in our business. Unfortunately most DOT officers don't grasp the concept. :-(
