IdleAire is a privately-held corporation formed in June, 2000. Corporate headquarters and a research and development center are located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The company is the outgrowth of a challenge originally issued to A.C. Wilson, a Tellico Plains, Tennessee, contractor, by his brother-in-law, a long haul truck driver fresh off a New Jersey run. How could a driver park, shut off the engine (along with its noise, fumes and vibration) and still stay warm or cool while having access to the comforts of home? It so happened that the challenge came during a vacation stay at an RV park. During the night, A.C. tackled the challenge, sketching the first design for an independent, external system that would deliver to a truck cab the same sorts of services inherent in an RV. The next morning he presented his sketches to his brother-in-law. A.C. and his partners located an experienced management team who could form a company, IdleAire Technologies Corporation, and take his idea to market. Since June 2000, IdleAire has further refined Wilson's original design and made significant strides with truck fleets and travel plazas, as well as the federal and state environmental and highway safety entities. We currently have 120+ locations in 33 states across the country. Our Team Members enjoy flexible scheduling, competitive pay and benefits.
