Truck Stop Electricification
THE
2Anti-Idling Movement
- Local and state regulators no longer want trucks
to idle during drivers down time or rest
periods. - New DOT regulations require drivers to have more
down time and will lead too more potential
idling time.

3Current Practices
- According to a studies conducted by Argonne
National Laboratory the average sleeper-cab
tractor idles for 1,830 hours annually, and
consumes approximately one gallon of diesel fuel
per hour1 - Long-haul trucks idling overnight consume more
than 838 million gallons (20 million barrels) of
fuel annually2 - Under current regulations, based on an 18-hour
cycle drivers are required to get 10 hours of
rest for every 11 hours of driving. - Truck drivers usually sleep about 5 hours in a
24-hour period, not the 10 continuous hours they
need for optimal performance.

4Problems with Current Practices
- Exhaust emissions can affect driver health and
performance, can negatively impact highway
safety.1 - Federal officials estimate 755 people die each
year due to drowsy commercial drivers. - State Federal Environmental Agencies are
funding Awareness programs for anti idling at
truck stop rest areas - Thirty four (34) states and Municipalities have
anti-idling laws in place. 1 -

5Problems Associated with Idling
- Idling Costs Fuel and Money
- A typical truck burns 1 gallon of diesel/hr
idling - 6 hours idle time X 300 days a year 1800
gallons - _at_ 3.00 a gallon that is 5400 per truck a year
- Idling Causes Excessive Engine Wear
- Idling/ Low oil pressure causes more wear and
tear on an engine, shortening engine life and
increases maintenance costs by as much as 2000 a
year - Unnecessary Idling Causes Pollution
- Particulate Material ( ingested in lungs)
- Nitrogen Oxides Volatile Organic Compounds
- Poisonous Carbon Monoxide Carbon dioxide
- Idling Poses Health Risks to Drivers
- Drivers are exposed to more vehicle pollution
while idling than when they are traveling on the
road
