The new “electrified” truck stops are getting noticed more and more as the price of fuel continues to soar.

In addition to being able to hook up to these new additions at truck stops and receive air conditioning, cable and internet through nifty yellow tubes, the benefits of these tubes go much further.

Most importantly, having access to these things makes it possible for the trucks to turn off their engines. The concept actually came about for just that reason. They were developed to help truckers follow the new anti-idling guidelines to reduce pollution.

Now it is the truckers that are thanking them and appreciating these guidelines for the added benefits they have brought to them.

Truckers are able to turn off their engines rather than letting them sit and run idle like they used to do which means a lot less fuel being used and less wear and tear on their engines. With the price of fuel and mechanics, that is a big deal.
