| 8% acceptable, anything over and you will get weekly messages asking you to work on lowering it. Allegedly 28% is the breaking point where you will start getting in trouble, but I have nothing concrete to base that off of.

| OSHA contacted Swift RE: idle The Last time I was at there AZ terminal (home office also) there was a letter posted where a driver had contacted OSHA regarding the fact that she had been warned that if she continued to have "over idle" she would be terminated. Have no idea how thats working out== but it probably wont work out very well for Swift!! OSHA kicks butt!## I think different terminals and even different DM's have their own version of what is too much- although in one of the MANY rules its posted somewhere- depending if you have opti idle- etc.... We just figured out a way for our idle time not to count against us...... no way can u sleep in 85 degree weather. In the bunk....little or no air movement.... hot ideling trucks all around u..... it was crazy.... but we worked around the problem...... lol Wish we could have worked out the low miles problem--haha Last edited by getitgirl; 08.04.2009 at 01.15 PM..

| Question for current Swift drivers I have bad allergies and use a air purifier. Would Swift let me use it? Also, what about people who use cpap machines? Hunter Last edited by Kinghunter; 10.28.2009 at 05.43 PM.. |

| I just got out of orientation and I am awaiting my mentor. They told us that if you are in a tractor without any type of auxillary heater unit, there is no penalty to idleing and if cold you are encouraged to do so. In extreme cold weather, you are required to, so make sure the tanks are full. |

| Swift Idle? Been driving for Swift 1.5 years. Only problem I've had on this issue was an occasional Qualcomm message: IE you're # 15 percent idle, try to reduce it. Those were short milage weeks.

| I am in the Northeast. Last night it was 7 degrees with a 30 mph wind. If you don't idle aty night the truck won't start in the am. Tonight it is almost as cold. Didn't get out of the low 20's all day. It is cheaper to use the fuel to idle than a road call to jump the truck. Also if your fuel gels the truck will have to get put someplace warm for who knows how long to thaw out. |
