IdleAir partners with St. Christopher

May 20, 2013

The St. Christopher Truckers Development and Relief Fund has named IdleAir the newest silver sponsor and has partnered with the company to initiate a unique matching program. IdleAir customers earn Convoy Points by using IdleAir services, redeemable for discounted services. Any time a customer redeems over 100 points for the SCF, IdleAir will match the donation 100%. As an added bonus, any customer redeeming any amount of Convoy Points for the SCF will receive an all-weather SCF/IdleAir supporter decal for their truck.
