LOL... Gotcha... I can understand it, in a way... They are running a business, they have to try to control costs as well... Sometime they go overboard!

the biggest problem is that there are some who just plain abuse it, I will hear people idling at 60-70 degrees outside, like come on that should be comfortable enough....one guy I was working with on a gig was idling one night and I asked him why and he said he got a little chilly, he didnt even know what the webasto heater nob was for....

Its been quite some time having to deal with the idle policy and when I did I never reached even 30%,so how many hrs can you idle before it reaches 30% or whatever percentage your company requires?

pattyj Thanks this.

I idled the first time last night in a long time but to see if I could sleep better, I have sleep apnea so I have to use my bpap and it seems when I am running the webasto heater along with my machine the inverter cuts out from voltage drop I guess and my machine cuts in and out constantly while beeping at me. The company told me they would hard wire an inverter for my machine but they want a letter from my doctor stating I need to use my machine while on the road.
How stupid is that? I gave them all my medical papers that shows I need my machine every night yet they want something stating I need it in my truck.....if I need to use it at home to sleep then DUH I need it in the truck to sleep, sometimes I swear people can be ignorant. If I could find an easy way to run jumpers into the cab then I would just wire it up that way at night. -

thats your company, swift policy is no inverters unless for a medical issue like mine but I have to go through the trouble of trying to see my doctor during home time which is hard to get for a set date, I would be more than happy to spend some money to stick a nice inverter in the truck if they would let me
