Why ZERO BREEZE is Our Preferred Portable AC Unit

SleepDog® x ZeroBreeze Giveaway

As any trucker knows, "drive when you have to, sleep when you can" is more than just a saying—it's a way of life. Sleep is crucial for staying alert, safe, and focused on the road, especially during long hauls. But getting quality sleep on the road? Now that's a whole other challenge.

Between unpredictable rest stops and long stretches on the road, nothing beats the feeling of crawling into a comfortable, cool space for a good night's sleep. And whether it's a sleep mask, a supportive memory foam mattresses, or even a portable air conditioner like the ZERO BREEZE Mark 3, the right gear can make all the difference for truckers who want to rest up and recharge without the need to idle their truck.

Portable Air Conditioner: A Game-Changer for Truckers

Truckers have a few cooling options on the road, like car air conditioners, APUs, fans, or ice coolers—but each comes with trade-offs. Running the truck's air conditioning means idling the engine, guzzling fuel, and adding wear and tear. APUs, while effective, are fixed, pricey, and require installation. Fans only circulate air without really cooling, and ice coolers? While helpful in some cases, they require frequent replenishment and may lose their chill quickly in humid weather.

Conversely, portable air conditioners offer an all-in-one cooling solution to these challenges. Compact, energy-efficient, and easy to transport, they deliver refreshing cool air without the need to idle your truck—helping you save fuel, preserve your engine, and avoid costly maintenance.

Why Truckers Choose ZERO BREEZE

ZERO BREEZE is determined to make outdoor adventures—and trucker life—more comfortable. They deeply understand how important it is for truckers to get a good and undisrupted night's sleep. ZERO BREEZE creates portable cooling solutions that provide outdoor enthusiasts, vanlifers, RVers and truck drivers easy access to cool air wherever and whenever they need. But why is the ZERO BREEZE portable air conditioner the best choice for truck drivers?

It's not only because it's the world's first portable air conditioner designed with innovative technology but also because it has been tested and endorsed by many truckers. Here is feedback from one of our valued truck drivers:

"Loved the Item—My truck doesn’t have an APU, so keeping the truck on idle while sleeping was a hassle. The cost of diesel and the burden on the engine were too much. Since I bought Zero Breeze, I'm at peace. It cools enough to sleep, even in Texas's hot weather. I recommend it over expensive APUs."

Meet the ZERO BREEZE Mark 3: Your New Sleeping Companion

In 2023, ZERO BREEZE introduced its latest innovation—the Mark 3 portable air conditioner. Designed to help truck drivers sleep soundly no matter where they are, Mark 3 eliminates the need to idle your engine, saving both fuel and money in the long run. Plus, it's an eco-friendly solution—fewer engine hours mean a smaller carbon footprint. Say goodbye to wasting fuel just to stay cool, and hello to more efficient, restful nights on the road.

Here are five key features of ZERO BREEZE Mark 3, making it one of your best sleeping companions:

  • Powerful Cooling Capacity: Mark 3 is upgraded with 5280 BTU of cooling power, enabling it to cool larger spaces more efficiently than ever. Thanks to the dual-cylinder inverter rotary micro compressor and dual-hose system, this portable AC delivers superior cooling performance. For optimal cooling, set up the sleep area using curtains to create a more enclosed space. Be sure to use the included dual hoses to expel exhaust air out the window for maximum efficiency.
  • Multiple Modes: Customize your sleeping mood with seven different modes. Whether you need cooling comfort on hot nights or heating warmth on colder ones, Mark 3 has you covered with just a few taps.
  • Flexible Power Options: Mark 3 can be powered entirely by batteries, allowing truckers to enjoy cooling comfort without needing to idle the engine. For long breaks (around 10 hours), the plus extra package with two batteries is recommended, as one battery can run Mark 3 for 5-7 hours in sleep mode. Plus, charging the battery is simple with options like your truck's cigarette lighter, solar panels, portable power stations, or shore power.
  • Active Drain System: Thanks to its built-in micro pump, Mark 3 handles condensate automatically, so you never have to worry about water leakage and messes while you sleep.
  • Compact & Portable: Lightweight and easy to carry, the Mark 3 is designed for convenience. It can be placed inside the cab or outside while you take a break. Plus, it's compact and easy to store—perfect for the limited space in a truck cab, as many of out trucker customers have mentioned in their reviews.
