I totally understand the introvert and solitude statement as I am an introvert. Don't care for crowds or group events, clubs etc. . I drove for 25 yrs, owned 2 different rigs with different carriers. Left it for a state job with retirement. But I still miss the road at almost 68 yrs of age. I still consider going back out there. Maybe it will happen, maybe not. I enjoy being home, love my wife and her cooking, but I miss the road.

When it comes to sleeping in the truck, you make it quiet and I am awake. At home I have a ceiling fan and a box fan running when we sleep. If the power goes off, I instantly wake up. In the truck sleeper, I would have no problem sleeping with either the CAT running or a APU. But best of all, a good steady rain all night and I would not wake up.

When APU's first hit the market, I saw the advantage. Talked with my travel agent (dispatcher) and said every truck should have these. He replied that it would be too expense to mount these on the fleet. I replied the savings would be worth 2 years of using them for the company. When the company finally realized the net worth of the APU's, I reminder my travel agent of our conversation. He finally admitted I was way ahead of the curve with my statement. When my truck finally received one I talked to the mechanics to make sure that my heated fuel tanks, lights, heated engine block and the heated fuel tank on my trailer were all wired up to the APU. Not only did I have creature comforts supplied but also the truck, trailer, engine, and fuel lines were covered. Like I said earlier, 2 years of operating an APU paid for itself. So time for you to step up and give that Cat a break!

That return on investment you're talking about is only realistic if you were to idle the truck every day. Which is not realistic. So, at least double the time for your ROI. Then it doesn't make a lot of sense to some people. One size does NOT fit all.

I'm retired now but I always idled the truck to sleep. I wanted both the engine noise, mild vibration and, of course, the A/C. If the A/C wasn't needed, I found that a white noise app on my phone was an adequate substitute for the engine noise. Of course, I rarely slept in truck stops - lost too many fenders over the years.
