APU For Trucks
An APU for Tractor Trailers can be a great benefit for truck drivers. Trucking companies which offer APU's with their equipment are increasing truck driver comfort and also save on fuel cost. In this video Cypress Truck Lines trainer, Luke Drew, shows what the APU looks like and how it functions. For many students that are getting their CDL's or have them already and looking for a company to go it is a good idea to ask if the carrier has APU's on their equipment.

I bought a truck with one on it and didn't know what the sumbitch was!!! Thanks!
Always important to remember to put your APU in standby when you go on home time.

It just charges your batteries to prevent them going flat, and in cold winter warms up engine so fuel lines won’t freeze
Great video thank you!

Thank you for this
Great Video Dude 👌👌👌👌👌
This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm a really shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I could introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I wanted the best for her and I harbored no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seemed happy with her boyfriend, so I didn't bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it. I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already since I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally couldn''t take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.
Isn’t there a shut down procedure you have to follow for the heater?
Can apu operate if engine is off? ( nighttime) and when I start my APU should engine be on or off?
Do you guys have tv mounts in the truck
Now with the heater the apu also cranks on or starts running???
I got the same kind of APU, it smokes really bad and it won't barely turn over. I've never had one before so I'm not sure really what the issue is. And oil is milky and lot of air bubbles
I love y'alls Pete's I'm a diesel mechanic for CT transportation in Savannah and I want to drive for cypress I love what I see on the road. Thanks for the response.

Does anyone know of a thermo king apu installer around the greater Los Angeles area ?
Is it normal for apu to beep when turning engine ?
Lol, upgrade oil this is why I love Americans
I would take that diesel engine out and replace it with a boxed portable generator. That thing is bad news because it breakdown way too often and the fix goes from $500 - 1200 + downtime.
So, it's a glorified generator ??

If it's a glorified anything, the ThermoKing TriPak is a glorified refrigeration module with alternator power output. This is effectively a miniature version of the refer unit that hangs on the front of the trailer and supplies AC to the cab and sleeper, but it does more than that. Versions supply cab power (12v or 24v, depending on the version) and most have option for inverter driven 120vAC as well. The APU commonly shares the engine cooling loop and can maintain engine temp without using a shore heater plug in and most APUs have a direct fired diesel heater as part of the installed package.
B.AG. big ass generator
My Apu doesn't have a control panel
Where does exhaust go? Isn’t that too close to cabin? Carbon monoxide is dangerous

It extends out towards the back. In his video you can see it on the lower left of the box.
Are all APU's that loud?
Is it possible to show us the insides of your trucks?

Bobby Wells. Yes we will do a video showing the inside of some Cypress Trucks. They have a variety (KW's, Petes, Freightliners and Internationals). Is there anything in particular that you would like to see?
