IdleAire Technologies Corporation was[1] a company that provided in-cab services to truckers via centralized systems at truck stops around the United States. IdleAire's service, Advanced Travel Center electrification (ATE), was more complex and more expensive than traditional truck stop electrification (TSE) systems which are aimed at idle reduction reducing the amount of fuel consumed by trucks while they idle during rests.[2]
Most TSE systems simply provide electricity to trucks parked in their slots. IdleAire's service is more comprehensive, including heating and air conditioning, phone service, Internet connectivity, television, and 110-volt electrical outlets. The ATE services are delivered by a distinctive yellow tube that hooks into the door window of the truck.
IdleAire, launched in June 2000 filed for bankruptcy protection on May 12, 2008.[3] A May 16, 2008 press release on their website stated that they expected to remain open,[4] however, IdleAire officially closed on January 29, 2010.[5]
Convoy Solutions LLC of Knoxville, Tennessee is now the operator of the former IdleAire assets, and has renamed the operation IdleAir.
