    Amarillo has a TK dealer and am sure that Dallas and Houston will have one also. Have used the Amarillo one twice myself. Could google TK and TX and find any others.

    I read somewhere where someone calculated if a a.pu. was worth it. figured the idle time, miles, pay, e.t.c. it would took a long time to justify the price of one in the study.

    At one time I would have agreed with you about the cost vs idle time. Now that cities and counties across the US are banning idleing our trucks it may be time to look more at a comfort vs cost!
    Has anyone looked into the battery/electric operated Tripac?
