MPG and Idle Times

Thekenzieann · Jun 6, 2022

Thanks! My company is requiring me to do this. Apparently there is a program called "smartway certification" that requires that you keep track of those things. I need to be able to print a monthly report.

If you're attempting to micro-manage drivers about their MPG and idle times, you aren't going to end up with quality drivers. You'll only end up with those that have little options. The vast majority of good, professional drivers aren't going to tolerate such nannying for very long. So, be careful. You may get your wish and lose out because of it.

Reports can be pulled using their correlating software, correct?
I appreciate your help in answering my question. The majority of my trucks are Cummins, so I have insite purchased, but I am not sure I can justify purchasing the other software when it will only be used to pull MPG and idle time.

My company is requiring that I do this in order to qualify for a safeway certification. I suppose I should have specified if there were ways to pull this information without purchasing the engine software.

Full detailed Reports can be easily retrieved from all 3 engines. Some of our fleets require the reports as part of a PM service. Get with your servicing shops and see if you can get the reports collected as part of your service routines. Prolly easy for dealers. Not so much for quick lubes.

Thank you so much for this! We use Omnitracs, but I will definitely look and see if they are able to pull that up.

I appreciate it!

This is my Verizon Reveal ELD system.

You can pull daily reports on any vehicle in your fleet.

Most of us will withstand idle nannying if the trucks come with a properly working apu. Honestly I like the rumble of the apu now.
