You mean they won't allow inverters. An APU is something the company pretty well has to instal. I've seen a few new USA ProStar's with APU's on them, but now many.

I havent seen any but mind you, all the trucks I seen in van buren where the old style 9400's so don't quote me on that. All celedons pro stars came with are bunk heaters. you sure you weren't looking at a lease purchase or O/O truck? I know USA have ICON and Opt Idle in thier trucks but they didn't mention apu's.

May have been a lease purchase or something I guess, I really don't know. I know they were the typical USA Truck ProStar but with an APU hung on the frame. I've just seen a handful of them.

They might be wiseing up and putting something on for driver comfort or mabe to keep compliant with idle laws. Might just be testing them out. All I know is they said no inverters, and all they covered was icon and opt idle.

Not that I know of. If they were, I'd have probably taken the job in two seconds flat. They don't even have anything for career seekers on their webpage either.

Dynamic Transit Westside Transport Southern Refrigerated WEL USX Celadon USA Truck Averitt Express FirstFleet New Century Fleetmaster Howell's Motor Freight Werner Marten Barnes Transportation Carolina Tank Lines Robert Transportation As for USA Truck, I see quite a few of their ProStars around Roanoke, VA that have TriPacs on them (or maybe it's just one that I see all the time), but they look like standard company trucks, not l/p, o/o, or any other alphabet soup. FWIW, at Werner, drivers are only given computer-based-training on APU's if said driver has a truck with an APU. If not, then no need to waste his/her time on it.

Does any of the "starter" or "training" companies that operates out here in the west have APUs on their trucks and/or allow big (hard-wired) inverters in their trucks?
