At Crete Carrier, we want to ensure you have the resources you need to be successful on
the road. We have created this video as a short reminder of important tips for optimized
idle. Ensure that when you are driving you are charging your cell phone, computer, and
other electronics to minimize hotel load during your 10 - hour break. Turn off your truck
when you will be out of it for a short period of time. If you need to heat or cool your
truck during a 10 - hour break, make sure you turn on your idle reduction system when
you stop for that break, even if you will be out of the truck for a period of time.
These systems are designed to keep your truck at a desired temperature. Utilize your curtains
to conserve heat or to keep your truck cool depending on the weather conditions. And remember
that modern diesel engines don't need long warm up periods, so you can start the truck
when you are ready to go. For more information, please contact AMS or your fleet manager.
