    It will vary from company to company. At Schneider, idle time didn't count until you were stationary for five minutes. Here at Crete, it starts as soon as no motion is detected, so just between the two of those, the variance is huge.

    they told me the company policy is 1% a month but you can idle between 5-15% which is about 3.5 hours a day, but anything over 15% then i will get a call from them..they just started to implement these rules on drivers, like if you get a speeding ticket only 5mph over the speed limit and if you dont wear a seat belt and get a ticket, they will fire you right away..it was not like that before, they came out with this #### beggining of thisn year

    My company has no limits for idling, only asks us to not be excessive, idling when its 60f and mild for example.

    If you do not have a bunk heater or APU, I would be asking if they also plan on selling the company HQ airconditioning and heating systems for scrap, and then have tremendous reductions in their bills. And of course telling all office employees that they are not allowed to heat or cool their homes, because that would just be a waste of their paycheck.
