Shore
power for trucks at truckstops far from dead
By Wendy Leavitt, director of editorial development
That pioneering supplier of “shore power” systems to trucks at
truck stops IdleAire Acquisition Co., LLC (formerly IdleAireTechnologies
Corp.) shut down last month may have dampened enthusiasm for shore power
as an idle-reduction solution. But idleAire’s demise by no means the
end of efforts to make plug-in AC electrical power available to
trucks.

Trucks
at Work: Big snow part deux
By Sean Kilcarr, senior editor
Yes three feet is a lot of snow and yes we’ve got another foot or

Washington
DC 2010 Blizzard
By Michael Kilcarr, contributing photographer
Transportation ground to a halt in early February 2010 following
the biggest blizzard in Washington DC's history -- dropping a record 32
inches of snow on the nation's capital, eclipsing the 28-inch record set
back in 1922 by the infamous "Knickerbocker" storm.
These photos, taken by local shutterbug Michael Kilcarr, show some of
Washington's monuments and streets in the aftermath of the massive
storm.
