For many drivers, it is the part of the truck that works while the truck is resting. That's write, we are talking about - APU. It can keep the sleeper cool, warm, powered, and livable without running the main engine all night.

There are a few main options. Do all drivers need one? Not always. But if you sleep in the truck, sit at docks, run in hot or cold states, care about fuel, engine hours, battery power, and comfort, an APU can be more than a luxury.

What do you think: is an APU a must-have or just a nice extra?

Starting this Sunday, the road gets a little less forgiving. Operation Safe Driver Week runs July 12-18, and officers will be watching driver's habits.
- Speeding.
- Phone use.
- Tailgating.
- Unsafe lane changes.
- No seatbelt.
- Driving tired.
- Pushing too hard.

This year’s focus: reckless, careless, and dangerous driving. So here’s the advice: drive like your CDL is in the passenger seat.

Toll prices are going up. Starting July 1, RiverLink tolls between Kentucky and Indiana are increasing by 3.8%. For trucks with 5 or more axles, one crossing can go up to $16.62.

The Indiana Toll Road is also updating rates on July 1. A Class 5 truck running the full route can be around $91. A heavier multi-axle truck can be much higher. And these are not the only ones. So, truck drivers plan the route and make sure you are ready for the new prices.
