trucking

Trying to figure out what this is a picture of?

Well it a systems that allows long haul truckers to turn off their engines when they are parked, keep warm and all their electronics powered.

We rely on big trucks to haul stuff across the country for us. But what about when they sit there idling? Not so great for the environment, right? Right. IdleAire has created a device that alleviates the need for idling, while retaining all that truckers are accustomed to having while at rest. Good for the trucks, truckers, and the planet.
