Stop Paying for Idle Time: Meet the Engine Report

Play

Every minute a vehicle sits running in a parking lot, you’re paying for fuel that gets you nowhere. Across a whole fleet, those minutes add up to real money and extra wear on every engine.

The Engine Report in the GPS Track Fleet Portal shows you exactly how much your vehicles idle, where it happens, and how much fuel it’s burning, so you can cut the waste and keep more of what you earn.

See Where Your Fuel Is Really Going

The Engine Report breaks down engine activity for your whole fleet or a single vehicle over any date range you choose. In one place, you’ll see:

  • Moving vs. idling: How much engine-on time is spent driving and how much is spent sitting still.
  • Idling violations: The total number of violations and the percentage of engine runtime that went over your limit.
  • Fuel waste: An estimate of how many gallons your vehicles burn while idling.
  • Idling by day of week: Which days excessive idling happens most.
  • Every engine event: Date, time, location, engine status, and idle duration for each event, searchable by address and sortable to find the longest idles first.

You Set the Limit

Not every stop is a problem. With the Max Idle setting, you decide how long a vehicle can idle before it counts as a violation, whether that’s 5, 10, or 15 minutes. The report flags anything over your limit, so you focus on the idling that actually costs you.

Numbers only matter if you can act on them. The Engine Report is built to point you to the fix:

  • Coach drivers with facts. When you can see which vehicles idle the most and for how long, driver conversations are based on data, not guesswork.
  • Spot the pattern behind the problem. If idling spikes on certain days, it may point to a scheduling or routing issue you can adjust.
  • Find the hot spots. Search engine events by address to see if long idles keep happening at the same job site, yard, or stop.
  • Keep records. Export the report with Save File to share with your team or track progress over time.

Cutting unnecessary idle time pays off in more than one way. You spend less on fuel, your engines rack up fewer hours of wear, and your fleet runs more efficiently overall.

The Engine Report is included in the GPS Track Fleet Portal, right alongside the tracking you already use. Pull it up anytime from Reports, set your idle limit, and start finding savings that have been hiding in plain sight.
