Looks that way and could be a system as described below

Thanks!

The ATE services are delivered by a distinctive yellow tube that hooks into the door window of the truck.

Don't know whether that's reasonable or expensive.

Steve would be the one to ask or a USA forum member.

Comments from a USA trucker on Idleaire -

IdleAire was too expensive when fuel was cheap, and when the truckstops finally jumped on the bandwagon, so many drivers had gone to APU systems. IdleAire also takes up so much room that there is less parking where it's been put into place.

The first permanent settlement, Ft. Lee, was built in 1788. In 1791, Daniel Boone was a member of the Kanawha County Assembly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Boone

The airport's construction was one of the most remarkable engineering accomplishments of the 1940s. The original topography of the area where Yeager Airport now stands consisted of three large and four small hilltops on a ridge overlooking the Elk River. In order to create enough flat land for an airport, it was necessary to shear off the tops of all seven hills, and use the soil to fill in the valleys in between. At that time, the construction of Kanawha Airport was reportedly the second-largest earth-moving project in history, behind the construction of the Panama Canal.
