Apparently there is a law that the city will fine you for idling longer than 3 minutes.
I want to know what happens if your waiting to move in congested traffic?

While there's no point in unnecessary idling.. I'd love to follow this fellow around to document his indiscretions.
Bean Jr., D.Tibbitt and lovesthedrive Thank this. -
Anybody that goes into ny city for anything
Less than 500 bucks on top of there normal
Pay deserves to get screwed every way they can.
That's my 2 cents.
And don't even want the 500 bucks to
Put up with the headache.BigDog Trucker, NavigatorWife, Dino soar and 3 others Thank this. -
Maybe it should be 15 minutes. What about warm up, does that count?
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
Just shut off the engine when you hit the city limits. As far in as you can coast is where the load gets delivered.
P.S. I predict that at some point, people videoing idling vehicles to turn them in for money is going to end in tears for someone. What a stupid idea.BigDog Trucker, TravR1, NavigatorWife and 4 others Thank this. -

People in the northeast are a bunch of rats. Im not suprised they go crying to the police over idling. They call the police on everything. Crazy ####ers

you also get a bounty for turning in a truck for idling. really.
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
First off, just because it's a law does not make it enforceable. I was in traffic on 42nd street last Saturday night right next to the police station. 30 cop cars parked and here my truck starts to regen. White smoke all down the street. People walking by staring at my truck. I'm praying for a darn green light already.... This guy on a bike stops next to me and points to the back of my cab, I just nod and give him the thumbs up.
