About LinkBacksI idled my truck during lunch last year when it was cold, never a word said. Just use common sense, if it's cold and they give you a hard time, then contact your BA as posted already. Try it and see how it goes before getting too worked up.

Blankets and warm thoughts.
I'm a steward but I'm not your steward. So don't worry about what I think. It's my opinion. It you don't like it ill still drink a beer with you.
If they don't let you idle, then tell them you will drive to the nearest lunch place to eat even if its 50 miles away and a couple of hours drive.Originally Posted by UPSBOT
We started telematics this summer. We were told that rural guys that needed to idle during break had to OK it with supes. I am a cover driver on a couple of the routes and it is written up in the route notes that it is OK to idle for lunch.
Sorry toonertoo is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.
Let the fuel gel up. If they need to come out in the cold once or twice. I bet they will change back. You are with the truck. Doesn't make any sense to me at all... Get more production out of a warm employee. Then a frozen one
Diesel gelling...............that's Idaho Falls, Idaho !!!!
Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says, "Oh crap, she's up !!"
even in some suburban, and semi-rural routes, it's frowned upon to take your home-packed lunch into a warm and cozy environment......I packed my lunch for close to 30 yrs., I had one office bldg that allowed me to take my lunch (20 yrs. ago)......other than that, my lunch room was my pkg. car..........just a little food for thought (and savings).........why would you purchase your meals on an everyday basis...I packed 4 days, and met w/ fellow drivers on Friday............just wondering
the first 10 yrs., you run..the 2nd 10 yrs., you walk..the 3rd 10 yrs,. you crawl...needless to say. I'm crawling..into my 4th 10 yrs. ..any suggestions
They don't seem to have a problem with ups freight idling their trucks through their lunch..I see this all the time. I also see our shifters in the yard idling. Maybe ups should start buying some of their own carbon neutral offsets!
Tell those idiot Atlanta desk drivers that when they turn their airconditioners off in the summer time you will turn your heat off in the winter.
