I'm at a different mega and I have always had a high idle time.
They complain, I say I;ll try, and then business as usual.
I got written up for idle time once, about 1.5 years in.
My habits have not changed, and they still occasionally mention it.
But after nearly 10 years with this company, I am still here and they are still putting up with it because I am safe, reliable and on time.
MPG and Idling....

Or Just idle your engine and tell them to kiss where you sit.... I believe the above must be a joke, I live near Mojave, 107 today, and I could tell you what to do with a sponge but it would have nothing to do with a fan. Change colors of truck.Redtwin Thanks this.

Just ignore them. If they call just yes them to death. "Will try harder, thank you for showing me the error of my ways" etc.
Extra points if you can get the noise of the idling engine in the background where they can hear it while on the phone.650cat425 and meechyaboy Thank this. -
As I’ve mentioned before my last 3 months I only shut my truck off to fuel, or had a customer unload indoors( bulk) pilot is offering up to 4 points per gallon.. I was swimming in pilot points. Let what they tell you about optimizing your fuel go in one ear and out the other and live like a king. They can optimize their use of the fuel by keeping you moving.
