Some real egg-head accountant had to show someone, look... we can save $.035 per thousand gallons of fuel for every 10 seconds we don't idle. It's all in the numbers!!!! He's probably the same braniac that tells you to never pay off your mortgage because you lose a tax write-off. Let's see, pay $10,000 to save $1,000.
I do wonder if this had anything to do with the "no idle" laws going up everywhere for big trucks. Even so, I'd love to do that to the biggie wiggies' cars and see if they could deal with that aggravation. I think we know the answer to that.
I have sent an email to Larry Miller concerning this idle shutdown. Has anybody else done the same? If so, what was the response? I will let you guys know what he says.
Can't we all just get along?
why don't we all just sit down one day and refuse to drive?
really why don't we?
if a sales team stops selling they will just have us do it!..... oh wait we already do that!
we already load and unload!
we already do 90% of the paper work and they just redo it again , and again!
we could just collect on every delivery.
or we could just sit down! who is going to drive all those truck if we don't?
larry said deal with it you pile of sht truck driver you all mean nothing to me and if you don't like it quit.besides all that fuel i save goes into my yacht generator to keep my air on for my dog who means more to me than any scumbag driver ever will.
Seems that when Tractor comes back from service you have 30 second idle time. Waiting for a stop light truck shuts off. Waiting to pull out in traffic truck shuts off. Backing in at an idle truck shuts off. What arm chair Quaterback thought this one out.What are you saving??? Do the same to all company cars and see where that would go. It is time to stop with the stupid stuff and be smart about the decision's you make. This sounds like when all the glad hands on trailers were turned.
