“AC power ports located on the outside of the sleeper cab make it possible to plug the truck into a parking space power outlet (often called shore power) to meet heating, cooling, and AC power needs when the truck is not running.

“The outside power is then used to power electrical loads in the cab.Some fleets have added electrified posts to their terminal locations and allow drivers to plug into those for their rest periods.”
