    LOL, I said questions (in general), I didn’t mean about pay specifically that’s for sure :)
    Hope you’re doing well, the mountains about killed me and my clock (I’m on recaps day to day) and now I’m about to get a load and go right back over them. But miles are miles and it is what it is :)
     
    Steelersjunkie and Shock Therapy Thank this.

    Basically don’t get any preventables (including bent cab extenders) and no tickets or warnings, and yes warnings will get your truck turned down just like a ticket will... that’s all I’ll say about that :(

    And you also need to be at least 80% compliant following fuep solutions (not hard) and your idle % has to be something but I dont know what lol. I idle my truck when I feel like it and I'm still at 70mph

    I just got my truck turned up. I was told by the fuel department and the mechanic who did the update that they want to see 30% or higher for time when the engine has been off. From what I gathered, it's evaluated monthly.

    Are they able to turn it up or remotely or does a mechanic have to do it?

    So as long as you stay out of the shop you are good? I’m guessing it’s not as easy as that. Ha

    30% is the max for idle time?

    No. The want to see your engine off 30% of the time. 24 hours X .3 = 7.2 hours. Or 7 hours and 12 minutes.
