State by state guide for auxiliary power unit weight exemption limits

Sept. 6, 2016
Here is a guide, put together by vehicle satellite tracking company Track Your Truck, that can inform drivers exactly how much weight is exempt in each state.

Auxiliary power units, otherwise known as APUs, are used by a sizeable amount of truck drivers to help limit fuel use since they exclude the need to run trucks engines on idle while parked. But seeing as they typically weigh a few hundred pounds, they may be a problem for drivers who regularly carry close to the maximum weight limits. With the president’s recent expansion of the MAP-21 bill dealing with state-by-state APU regulations, this may be confusing to drivers crossing state lines.

Above, we’ve positioned a guide, put together by vehicle satellite tracking company Track Your Truck, that can inform drivers exactly how much weight is exempt in each state.
