something like this should have been done/invented years ago. think of all the diesel wasted, not to mention the noise and air pollution created.

kudos to another resourceful connecticut company.

The cynical side of me can't help but think it is only a matter of time before this company is bludgeoned into submission by the state of CT's punitive corporate taxes and onerous over-regulation of private industry.

Like the term "nature abhors a vacuum", state government abhors private-sector success.

I said it was the cynical side of me making that statement. The optimistic side admires this company and Mr. Bianco in particular for identifying a need and using ingenuity and hard work to provide a useful product. I wish him and his company all the best.

"to comply with local zoning demands aimed at reducing emissions and noise pollution, as well as to monitor which trucks are idling their engines too long — an offense that can result in a $5,000 fine in Connecticut."

A $5,000 fine for idling your engine too long? You gotta be kidding me! I thought our exorbitant speeding tickets were off the charts, but I guess one could do even worse for themselves in our wonderful little state.

there is a similar device in use today at the exit 93 truck stop off interstate 95 ... best of all - he does not charge anyone to use it !!!!!!!!!!
