Its more of an impact on enviroment if someone was to start a big diesel truck and drive it right away before being up to temp. Would just cause problems for the truck and probably break it very quickly.

Is it really that hard to turn your engine off? If so, maybe it’s time for all these drivers to find a new job or move out of the city, there’s plenty of people who’d love to take their place.
I like the reason. But do the math: 290 submissions and 35 cheques..... Time, equipment and effort equals minimum wage.... No ones getting rich except government saving wages
Right? The title suggests these people makes a ton of easy money by doing this, but no math or data to back that up. It is was 5 mins recording the evidence and you might get an $87.50 check, it is rather impressive at ~$125 per hour, but they mention the paper work, and any state paperwork is likely going to be an hour plus per filing. Now you go from 5 mins of work to 65 mins and the pay drops from $9.75 per hour, below NYC min wage.
@@bolshak34 Incorrect, because the guy who is featured in this video, who seems very good at this, only get 35 check of 290 submissions, you don't get a check for every submissions, it is really 1 in 8, which is to say 1 $87.50 check per 8 hour day.
@Keith Stengel It takes about 7 s for a car to 'break-even' by turning off it's engine instead of idling. Even if a truck engine was ten times worse in this respect, it would only make sense to keep the engine on when stopped for a little over a minute, which the law allows for.
@@Catcrumbs fun fact . A truck with def and dpf system puts out more emissions starting up then it does running idle. Not until the exhaust stream reaches a certain temperature does the exhaust after treatment work

@@fireworkstarter Hi, I’m sure the sarcasm about him ‘making BANK’ blew right over your head. You’re obviously missing the entire point of his intentions. This was specifically about local pollution control in a very dense city. With buildings trapping the idling truck emissions, it is a problem when they idle for hours. Exactly why there is a fine for idling over 5 minutes...in many areas of the USA. It’s also something anyone one individual can control in an effort to reduce pollution. Whether it’s law, company policy, or truck drivers themselves. You can talk about airplanes and ships all day long but that’s a totally different story. You can go write to your mayor about that one. I’m sure they will stop immediately! Lmao. What country are you so incredibly proud of that you’d like to start discussion on other forms of pollution?... Asserting blame directly on America right?
It's called climate change, not global warming (hasnt been since the 80's). Its not just about hot summers! The winters are feeling colder from the higher levels of humidity in the air caused by greater evaporation from the simultaneously warmer summers occuring on the opposing hemisphere along the equator. I.E., when it's winter here in the north, it's summer in the south and because of rising global temperature averages there is always more humidity in troposphere, which means "heavier air" that feels colder than the actual ambient air temperature in the winter months. Greater evaporation also means more clouds, obviously, leading to more precipitation; bigger winter blizzards and bigger late summer and fall hurricanes along the coasts.
@@wesleyhempoli5548 well, the name comes from the effects of global warming at the poles. personally i prefer to call it "climate whiplash" but it still has yet to catch on
There is no federal law against idling. The law only exists in liberal strongholds like nyc so of course the USPS (A federal organization) doesn't care about some random law in a place that 99% of their staff are not servicing.
You're totally right. Honestly I can't think of a worse representative for the environmentalist movement. Literally turning people against environmentalism by getting working class guys in trouble who are just trying to make a living. These fines don't go to the companies like this video implies, they go to the people who have a CDL in NY.
Big corporations polluting the environment and making the air less pleasant for everyone, possibly even making people sick and your reaction is to say 'screw the guy trying to get the corporations to follow the rules'? For real? You would take the corporations side?
@@canofsoup79 it was a bit arsy of the guy to wait for the full 4 mins of footage before talking to the driver (and likely still report him) but the driver is the one not doing a really basic part of his job properly - it takes barely a second to turn an engine off and will improve the drivers health outcomes as more than anyone's if he breaks the habit. I doubt the driver will make the same mistake again and he'll probably pay a bit more attention the next time he re-ups his certification. If the company he works for has appropriate policies in place to let him do his job properly and made sure he is properly certified, why should they be liable for his behaviour?
"Get a life" while making global warming even worse? Yeah, at this rate no one will be able to get a life soon in the future lol. Don't be so entitled and just turn off your damn engine.
Probably, but the hope is that you would just turn off your engine while loading instead of trying to intentionally make the air dirtier and less pleasant for people

@@brucebanner3969 Well most electric manufacturers including Tesla are running they're charging stations off solar OR separate electric sources like windmill farms. They are separate from normal grids.
The electric green mix charging an ev in the US averages out to an 80mpg equivalent gas car. Emissions is much lower than any gasoline-only car available. And no toxic fumes to harm anybody's health.
Makes total sense what you said, but even a minute of idling let alone 3 is more than enough to cool the turbo. Unless I don't know what I'm talking about because I don't have experience with commercial sized trucks and their turbos, but with any other car even 20-30 seconds is enough. Also turboed subaru's are water cooled so they don't need to idle at all before killing the engine.
BTW, since 2008 desiel trucks have pollution control systems to collect the soot and mitigate the exhaust emissions. Only school buses lack the emission control systems. The NY law on idling has exemptions to it if anybody bothered to look up the law.
Look up “gliders”. A lot of companies put old engines in new trucks to get around that very law. It may be a 2020 chassis, but the engine in there, no DEF, no filters, nothing.

Most of these trucks would be better off idling. Big diesels stopping constantly and having to turn their engines off so often; with people like these guys hasseling the drivers the engines might nkt be sufficiently cooled when they get turned off. Just creates more pollution and shortens the life of the vehicle (which isn't exactly enviornmentally responsible either, or good for local small businesses)
Hey last guy I was surprised by. Idk if he realized he could get fined, or caught himself about to get pissed off, but good for him either way. If only road rage ended like that all the time.
What difference would about 10,000 idling commercial vehicles make compared to millions of pedestrian vehicles, and cop cars idling in traffic, driving, and parked?? Those commercial vehicles are like a drop in a five gallon bucket compared to all of the idling cop cars, pedestrian vehicles, motorcycles, and mopeds, that are constantly idling in traffic, parked, and driving.
@@marcalt26 Those cars are in use and there are already efforts to reduce the volume of regular use. This is a small group acting in proportion with a small law. Not everything has to revolutionize the world.
@@marcalt26 Believe it or not, commercial vehicles, despite being significantly fewer of them, disproportionately make more emissions. Diesels are quite dirty, especially idling ones. Cars are subjected to much more stringent emission standards than medium and heavy duty diesel vehicles.
If you pay a $350 fine once or twice a year and save your starter and additional down time for towing/ repairs it's probably cheaper to just keep idling. What does it cost to tow a medium duty truck in New York with a dead starter? Probably not cheap.
I feel that if there is a company that uses refrigeration box trucks for perishable goods, it would definitely be worth paying fines to ensure that their client's goods survive.
LRCM it’s called an Auxiliary Power Unit and that is what should be used to keep the box cold while making deliveries. However I’d be afraid of a “hot shutdown” that would destroy the turbocharger.

In Sweden we have a general 1min law of idling. But mainly we havent been driving v8 and v6 engined SUVs and Trucks for decades. This idling problem is not something that should be ignored. But US has an extremely ignorant attitude towards fuel consumtion in general. Another thing is the terror act made by an ISIS-supporter in Stockholm 2017 happened because he jumped into an idling truck, and drove into a bunch of people.
@@NoobNoobNews Cause we are 9 million people not 300 million. You dont NEED aircon or heater on while stationary. powerlifts sure but thats not what its about. Radio works on battery, you wont drain it with engine off. But most of all the cars and trucks need to be inherently efficient and clean. With the latest emission regulations, like Euro 6 class, the air does not get that polluted. In the video there were many examples where you cant justify the idling, these are the situations were talking about. Not while a truck is using its accessories to perform duties.
Honestly I don't see why people are complaining. If you don't want to pay up then simply turn off your engine. If you can't park there then you're simply congesting the road and causing traffic. This literally benefits everyone except for those who actually idle. It's no different than leaving your sink running when brushing your teeth. Just don't do it, there's no reason not to.
The produce truck was in a space I think. At least it was parked in front of a meter. What I’d be concerned with is what’s called a “hot shutdown” on a Diesel engine. Google it. It will destroy a turbocharger which is thousands of dollars to replace on a pickup so I’m sure it’s a fortune on a heavy truck.
I see your point, but wrong. 99x out of 100 these trucks are doing drops, pickups, etc, and when you turn off the truck and walk away traffic officers will think you parked, run up, and use their computers to write you a ticket. They leave it on for a few minutes to avoid the double parking violations, but in the end seems to be a double edged sword. You clearly aren't from NYC to know that there is literally zero parking for trucks especially ones that need to do deliveries and pickups.
It shows that normal people don’t understand that when you’re driving a delivery truck doing drop offs turning your engine on and off constantly causes a lot of wear and tear which is very expensive overtime.
that's a myth. idling is a lot worse for your engine that start/stopping. not only is it using fuel for no reason and spewing exhaust, but it's building up a lot of heat and putting stress on the cooling system. auto start/stopping is a feature on a lot of modern cars and i think all hybrids do it. www.anl.gov/article/ask-a-scientist-when-is-it-more-efficient-to-turn-off-my-car-instead-of-idling

There was a busybody in California in the late 90s who collected $1000.00 dollar rewards on taggers. He was on the local news and collected on 20 or so taggers.

@@TheRealConcertKing Pretty much that's how urban life is. It's not so cut and dry in flat earth land where you live... The reward is still in place in California but not too many takers since Mr. Busybody was shot a few times back in 98....
I remember that shooting in California. The taggers that person got rewards from worked in a general area and was suspected of having lookouts and ambushed him when he showed up. If I'm not mistaken, they tagged his car after they shot him.
I was a trucker and I would not leave my vehicle to idle for the same reason they are doing this. But a lot of trucker are basically homeless needing to idle for heat and power.

Bunch of guys that are actually nice and will treat your fleet with respect but also plenty of shitheads. In -20 degree conditions it takes quite some time for oil to cycle through is all im saying. So to wait till the temp is up is essential to prolonging life of components.
What? That can't be, because illegal parking carries a large fine. So it's almost like you are saying they are farming fines.

Is it really that hard to turn your engine off? If so, maybe it’s time for all these drivers to find a new job or move out of the city, there’s plenty of people who’d love to take their place.
I like the reason. But do the math: 290 submissions and 35 cheques..... Time, equipment and effort equals minimum wage.... No ones getting rich except government saving wages
Right? The title suggests these people makes a ton of easy money by doing this, but no math or data to back that up. It is was 5 mins recording the evidence and you might get an $87.50 check, it is rather impressive at ~$125 per hour, but they mention the paper work, and any state paperwork is likely going to be an hour plus per filing. Now you go from 5 mins of work to 65 mins and the pay drops from $9.75 per hour, below NYC min wage.

Global warming has entered the chat
It's called climate change, not global warming (hasnt been since the 80's). Its not just about hot summers! The winters are feeling colder from the higher levels of humidity in the air caused by greater evaporation from the simultaneously warmer summers occuring on the opposing hemisphere along the equator. I.E., when it's winter here in the north, it's summer in the south and because of rising global temperature averages there is always more humidity in troposphere, which means "heavier air" that feels colder than the actual ambient air temperature in the winter months. Greater evaporation also means more clouds, obviously, leading to more precipitation; bigger winter blizzards and bigger late summer and fall hurricanes along the coasts.

I doubt the driver will make the same mistake again and he'll probably pay a bit more attention the next time he re-ups his certification.

Honestly I don't see why people are complaining. If you don't want to pay up then simply turn off your engine. If you can't park there then you're simply congesting the road and causing traffic. This literally benefits everyone except for those who actually idle. It's no different than leaving your sink running when brushing your teeth. Just don't do it, there's no reason not to.
The produce truck was in a space I think. At least it was parked in front of a meter. What I’d be concerned with is what’s called a “hot shutdown” on a Diesel engine. Google it. It will destroy a turbocharger which is thousands of dollars to replace on a pickup so I’m sure it’s a fortune on a heavy truck.
I see your point, but wrong. 99x out of 100 these trucks are doing drops, pickups, etc, and when you turn off the truck and walk away traffic officers will think you parked, run up, and use their computers to write you a ticket. They leave it on for a few minutes to avoid the double parking violations, but in the end seems to be a double edged sword. You clearly aren't from NYC to know that there is literally zero parking for trucks especially ones that need to do deliveries and pickups.

It has the best air quality compared to any other major US city... go check out California lol
It shows that normal people don’t understand that when you’re driving a delivery truck doing drop offs turning your engine on and off constantly causes a lot of wear and tear which is very expensive overtime.
Getting lung cancer is also expensive.
that's a myth. idling is a lot worse for your engine that start/stopping. not only is it using fuel for no reason and spewing exhaust, but it's building up a lot of heat and putting stress on the cooling system. auto start/stopping is a feature on a lot of modern cars and i think all hybrids do it.

UPS trucks in my area shut off the engine every time they're in the process of a delivery. Same with the USPS trucks if it's over a certain amount of time.
@Jurassic Pork they get killed before they can get diagnosed for lung cancer, it's a scam bro
Nii living in New York is expensive.
Legend says this man hasn’t farted since 2001.
Wait a minute. You need heat in the winter and ac in the summer. Those both only work when the car is on.
I sat nest to him at work in 2003. Great to see him doing big things. Cheers George!
Your standard with the definition of rich is very low, this is however a great concept for the homeless
But hey, to each their own
I know people are laughing at them, but it's a small, but important step towards influencing companies more environmentally friendly.

There was a busybody in California in the late 90s who collected $1000.00 dollar rewards on taggers. He was on the local news and collected on 20 or so taggers. Within a year, he was shot up in his car by unknown assailants when he was staking out a tagging crew.. Lesson learned. Don't be a busy body.
So your takeaway from that story is the criminals should be allowed to do crimes because they'll kill people for pointing out their crimes?
@@TheRealConcertKing Pretty much that's how urban life is. It's not so cut and dry in flat earth land where you live... The reward is still in place in California but not too many takers since Mr. Busybody was shot a few times back in 98....
I remember that shooting in California. The taggers that person got rewards from worked in a general area and was suspected of having lookouts and ambushed him when he showed up. If I'm not mistaken, they tagged his car after they shot him.
I was a trucker and I would not leave my vehicle to idle for the same reason they are doing this. But a lot of trucker are basically homeless needing to idle for heat and power.
@Hello GEAUX FRUGAL, How are you doing?
I'm pretty sure the guy in the shades that rolled up his window is a terminator
He does this to make up for all his stolen lunch money 😂 #snitch
I agree with them but I would like them to try to prevent the issue from happening in the first place instead of making everyone involved frustrated during the fact.
This guy is the super hero we didn't know we needed!!! Thank you for saving the world Supe-Douche!!!
What happens when the temp drops below freezing they still can’t idle?
after a few people die they will reverse the law.
Ya that is kinda dumb u start to run in to issues with diesels at colder temps
Nope they have to freeze because they are trying to make honest living unlike this fuckwad
Not after 4 minuets
@@bsgvlog5640 Surely only after the city gets the shit sued out of them by a grieving family.

You don't have heat or air conditioning if you aren't idling that's the real problem...
David Pratt Well shucks! There’s nothing we can do. So, anyways...Did you hear what Kim Kardashian ate for lunch yesterday?
The truck at the end , nobody was even in the car . I think it’s fair to say that idling for 3 minutes while you’re in there isn’t a problem, but the volume of everyone leaving their trucks on for 5-15 minutes is probably the bigger issue
He is the type of guy who would attempt to make a citizen arrest 😂😂
LOOP HOLE: Install a hand throttle and rev the thing to the max. Its not idling then, is it.
Engine will be dead within 2 weeks
There's always loop holes
The truck is still idling. Anyway, why go to that trouble when turning a key does the trick and doesn't give people lung cancer?
@@peter_smyth I have equipment that requires my truck to run at idle. This dude is messing with people's livelihood. Good way to end up spitting your teeth on the sidewalk.
@@peter_smyth that makes zero sense
This is exactly what big brother wants citizens snitching on other citizens, this is just the beginning.
In nazi Germany it was encouraged upon school children to snitch on their parents.
AequitasVeritas it’s not snitching when someone is doing the wrong thing. If I see you get murder I won’t say nothing though
Persvades “it’s not snitching if somebody is doing something wrong” isn’t that the definition of snitching? How could you snitch on positive behaviour?
Frank Post snitch on positive behavior? How do you think people get promotions at work? Or rewarded for doing something.
BADD1ONE The DARE program did the same thing in the 90’s.
Waiting on someone had enough of this guy and run him down
I want you to start a 30 y/o bus in sub zero temps. There's a reason diesels idle. It's not conservation of fuel, it's keeping them running.
"I don't like breathing in toxic fumes"
Makes life out of standing next to vehicles emitting toxic fumes.
I idle my truck all the time. If you are running lights at night, or your lift gate for heavy items, you need to our your battery would die. This white collar worker doesn't understand.
The people in the video was sitting in the truck doing nothing or outside leaving it unattended.
@@NoobNoobNews It's good advice.
Good work! You're a hero my friend..
Yea surprised no one backed over him when he is getting that plate picture yet
Yea surprised nobody committed murder for having his vehicle filmed in the public
That would be real smart to catch an attempted murder or even a murder charge over doing something that's illegal and unhealthy for the environment anyways.
One day, he will run up to that one person that will idle his teeth out of his mouth for him.
That doesnt even make sense. Never again attempt humour.
Those men need girlfriends
That produce truck is a rolling refrigerator that keeps your organic veggies nice and fresh, Mr Banker. It has to stay running.
Actually it has a reefer unit. The truck can be shut off and the the reefer can run independently. This guy's still a douche though.
@@dsummit Interesting..thanks for pointing that out. I did not know they had an independent engine.
I worked at a truck stop in highschool and we would do oil changes on them. That's the only way I know about it.
