Idling hate mail from the top??

Then they wonder why they can't keep drivers.Whats COO stand for or do you mean CEO?I would call him and ask him whats up.Maybe there's a glitch in the QUALCOMM.One time I got a threatening message from the fuel dept telling me my idleing is at 90% when all the other days it was 0 to 10%.I never idled.I called him and let him have it.Once I got back to the terminal so they could check the QUALCOMM,I let him have it some more.Man was I mad.But there was a glitch in the system and do you think I would get as much as an apology nope.So I told him off some more.

 

I wouldn't work for a company like that. Tell them to put you up in a hotel and you won't idle the truck otherwise I'd go work for someone who puts you up in a hotel like any of the LTL companies.
When I ran coast to coast I work for companies where money is no object and they don't care how fast you drive and they don't care how many times you get the truck washed because they take pride in their appearance of their equipment. Over the road the best companies to work for are smaller family owned companies with less than 100 trucks. Faster the better the newer the better The Shinier the better. Loose leaf logs to make your job easier.

 

There's always a few exceptions to that rule but for the most part working for a large company with thousands of trucks running over the road is one of the least desirable jobs out there.

 

Whats the weather been like down in Houston?

 

I think after so many hrs not idling the percentage goes back to zero or maybe it resets at midnight.I would ask your company how high of a percentage u can go before you're in the red zone.it use to be 30% with a lot of companies.

 

I would call and ask how he expects you to sleep with the truck baking hot...

Like the others have said I would get another job.
