Self fixed the idle time issue by programming it’s trucks to only idle for 2 minutes then auto shut off.Fuel mileage. Most drivers I know just drive to deliver and pick-up freight.
The place where they think there's some savings is idle time. So now there are lists up of drivers ( by employee number , no names ) ranking your fuel consumption. P&D drivers lumped in with linehaul. Medium duty tractors lumped in with light duty tractors.
If it's cold outside , I expect a driver to keep the truck running to stay warm. If it's hot outside , I expect a driver to keep the truck running to stay cool. This is the driver's office where they do business for the company. That's the cost of business for the driver to be comfortable ( just like the rest of the folks in the office all day )
