The biggest brands in the industry partner with Idle Smart
With APUs, engine parts break without warning. Wrecking your margins. Your schedule. And your peace of mind.
Unexpected repairs
APUs need frequent breaks you can’t afford. Because when your trucks aren’t on the road, you aren’t making revenue. At all.
Dreaded downtime
Sky-high fuel prices put more of your money in the pump. Not in your pocket.
Out of control idle costs
Staying profitable isn’t just part of your job. It’s your livelihood on the line.
If you’re an owner-operator…
Drivers and technicians are hard to find so you need to keep them happy to make sure they stick around.
Too few drivers and techs
When one of your engines inevitably breaks down, the spare parts you need are stuck in Newark. Hello days of downtime.
Spare parts shortages
Paying more at the pump for every truck in your fleet makes idle costs unmanageable.
Sky-high diesel prices
It’s never been tougher to turn a profit than it is today.
If you’re a fleet operator…
Every hour of downtime + all the $$$ on fuel = a massive dent in your bottom line

“Big savings – especially in the summer and winter”
I installed Idle Smart 3 months ago. From what I’ve seen so far, it will provide fuel savings, especially in the summer and winter months. And it will pay for itself compared to the much higher cost and maintenance of an APU.

Owner Operator,
Leased to Swift Transportation
“It took 4 hours to install, not 3 days.”
First, it's maybe 3 lbs and not 400-500 lbs. You don’t need a frame rail to mount it. And it takes hours to install, not “leave your truck here and it will be ready in 3 days. Coolness in the summer heat, warmth on those chilly nights — Idle Smart does it all at a fraction of the cost of an APU.”
Chris S.

“Easy to use, and so compact.”
I really liked the Idle Smart unit. It tells you everything you need to know easily, and it’s so compact and small. It’s just super simple to use.”

– and other answers
Does Idle Smart work with all types of vehicles?
Idle Smart works with any truck made after 2007. Regardless of make, transmission, or engine.
Won’t the noise of the engine turning on and off keep me up at night?
It might – but only the first few nights. 95% of drivers say they sleep soundly with Idle Smart after only a week.
I’m not so tech savvy. Will I be able to use Idle Smart?
If you know how to use a smartphone, you know how to use Idle Smart.
Will the installation void my truck’s warranty?
Absolutely not. No wires are cut and no engine parts (starter, alternator) are affected by the installation.
Can my drivers change Idle Smart’s settings on their own?
Only if you let them. All of Idle Smart’s settings have password protection.
