IdleAire has surpassed 9 million hours of cumulative service to the nation’s fleets and drivers this week – with two million of that coming in the last three months, according to Mike Crabtree, IdleAire CEO.
IdleAire is in the midst of a national deployment of its system following the Jan. 4 announcement of a $320-million financing package to target more than 200 new sites along key freight corridors by mid-2007. The company has 68 locations in 21 states and is opening three or more new locations each week.
The IdleAire Advanced Truckstop Electrification (ATE) system provides each truck cab with not only filtered central heating and air conditioning but also electrical outlets and a range of communications, training and entertainment options. The only truck retrofit required is a $10 window adapter available from IdleAire. Signed fleets pay $1.85/hour for their drivers to use the system. The fleets, in turn, save on fuel, maintenance and engine wear, while offering a driver benefit that can help reduce turnover and assist in recruitment.
IdleAire installs, operates, and maintains the system and shares revenue with the location owner.
