Swift - Current Idle Policy

18%.

That is less than 90 minutes of idle time for 8 hours driving.

 

They ask you to try to get your idle time down and tell you you were at 78% idle time. Oops.

 

If they fired everyone that had high idle times they would not have many drivers left.

My idle has been on the hight (very) side since I started, nearly 5 years ago.
I was even written up for it, once, a few years ago.
It hasn't even been mentioned in at least a year.

There are more important things than idle time, like being on time and staying safe/accident free.

 

First things most companies will do is eliminate any ,fuel,mileage,performance bonuses.

 

Below 20 degrees and over 70 degrees idle as much as you can, otherwise just make a conscious effort to not be wasteful.

^what I was told in orientation a couple weeks ago.

 

Not sure but from my past backpacking trips I can tell you the ratings on sleeping bags are sometimes a little optimistic lol
I think that is very, very loosely the policy, they didn't seem too concerned about it. I've talked to a few drivers I met about this, one who had a 70% idle rate. Guy said his Qualcomm blew up with messages for awhile but nothing really came of it.
