Dunno. Don't idle, and it won't be a problem.

If the dog's name is Dino, is owned by your next door neighbor and it is really a dinosaur, then you are cool in most states. The idlea only applies in New Jersey. Violation of the idlea most certainly will result in death to the owner, person in charge and the pet. Call Fred before you get to Jersey. I'm sure he can help you out of this rubble. Good luck BamBam. When charm and intelligence fail there is always the tire billy. Bam Bam!

Bam bam is a company driver and doesn't pay for fuel so idleaire would have to be approved by the truck owner .

Well, but, maybe. Also, don't you think the Bam has a little responsibility of her own for keeping that puppssy comfy????? Regardless of where she might be at.

"Bam bam is a company driver and doesn't pay for fuel so idleaire would have to be approved by the truck owner."

Crazy,
We can't determine if she is a company driver or a contractor.

Regaurdless, wouldn't she pay for Idleaire, not the owner if she wanted to keep cool?

I'm sure she said the company paid for the fuel . Using idleaire would save the company money but be an extra expense to her . Many carriers have contracts with idleaire . You only pay for the time you use . Depending on the weather you could just run it a couple of hours then shut it down if the temperature cooled . You turn it off and on from inside the truck with a member card or fuel card .

Anti-Idle Laws?

Sitting here in sunny Ontario California, I thought California had some sort of anti-idling laws?

Almost every truck sitting in the next row has been idling all night long and the guy next to me has been doing the same for the last 4 hours(he has his idleaire in his window) and I had to start my truck up to recharge the batteries and had it idle for 45 minutes.

I've also seen trucks idling while hooked up to idleaire . Best I can figure their company has an idleaire account and they hook up to use the phone , internet , or tv .

Crazy,

I understand what you are getting at, but these guys are across from me and not hooked up to anything. I am in the last row of the Idleaire services.

Oh to tell you this, I have to idle even hooked up to Idleaire to charge my batteries (drained them this morning leaving the box light on and out came my little generator to get the truck started and an hour idling to charge them up).

When I hook up to Idleaire I run a power cord from the Idleaire 110 outlet to my external power plug that switches everything to AC to eliminate the draw on the battery. At least I've never run down my battery.

If you drain the batteries using Idleaire they have a free battery charger you can borrow.

Idleaire has trickle chargers that you can use. Just give them your CDL to hold while you use it and you get it back when you return the unit.
Plug the trickle charger in the lighter and plug the charger into the idleair unit ac plug. Works wonderful and have Never run my batteries down.
