IdleAir provides comprehensive Idle Reduction and Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) services, offering a cost-effective alternative to engine idling for long-haul truck drivers. The company's core service allows drivers to turn off their engines and access filtered air conditioning, heating, 120-volt electricity, and various internet and television services directly in their cabin through a specialized window unit. This reduces fuel consumption, engine wear, and harmful emissions, providing significant savings for truckers and fleet owners while complying with anti-idling regulations. Founded in 2000, IdleAir initially grew to over 130 locations before facing bankruptcy and shutting down in 2008. The company was subsequently acquired by Convoy Solutions LLC in 2010 and has since been rebuilding its network, currently operating in multiple states across the U.S., including Texas, California, and Pennsylvania. The business model operates on a pay-per-use basis, with drivers paying an hourly fee for the services. IdleAir serves professional drivers and major fleets at truck stops, depots, and terminals, contributing to a more sustainable and economically efficient transportation industry.
