Just curious do all swift trucks have that anti idle where it shuts off after 5 or so minutes of idling. My first truck did and I couldn’t stand it. Just got assigned a new truck that doesn’t do that. Now I get to relax in air conditioned comfort whether I’m driving or not very happy.

It’s because it’s summer. There’s a range (I think it’s somewhere between 15-80 degrees) where the truck will turn off automatically after 5 minutes or so. When the temps are above 80-85 then you can idle as long as needed. During the winter you are required to idle if it drops below 15 degrees (I think that’s the number).
Once fall comes around your truck will automatically turn off again.mattymatt Thanks this. -
Work for a #### company with an APU. You think those ####s at swift turn off their AC at night when sleeping, or heat in winter.
I'm all for saving the plant, money, wear and tear on my motor, but how in the he'll can one sleep good in the heat.
See trucks shut on and off, you know how bad this on a diesel and the emissions it puts out.Tb0n3 Thanks this. -

If your in a Swift lease truck you can idle. You pay for fuel.
