Looking for some input:

Idle Air, is it something you guys use, like, dislike? Would it be something you would like to see us try and negotiate a discount on and have the ability to use your fuel card to pay for?

I have use it from time to time, using the fuel card would be good. I vote yes.

we have everything idle air provides without having to go to the truck stops. so, really doesnt matter to us but might be useful to others if the discount was good.

That was the one thing scott that slipped my mind when i talked to Dave. I forgot to tell him the "Timmies rule" for new hires. Dave, you have to call the tim hortons by the office and open a 30 day account for load one people. Sorry about forgetting that small piece of information. LOL

As long as the gen is working we would not need idleair, but it is a good system and having the option would be a nice perk. Again we are impressed at how much load one strives to find opportunities to make the quality of life better for the drivers. Thank you!

This would be a welcome addition and I have used it a few times where there is coverage. I haven't followed up on Idle Air in quite a while now. Are they expanding operations and re-installing in more truck stops ?
