Fleet Fuel & Idle Analyzer

Know the cost. Understand the reason.

An idle percentage needs operating context. This Excel workbook helps owner operators and fleet teams separate total engine idle from documented explained idle and the remaining idle that needs review.

WHAT YOU GET

One editable Excel workbook with seven tabs: Dashboard, Settings, Daily Log, Weekly Summary, Monthly Summary, Driver Summary, and Instructions.

Track miles, fuel, engine hours, total idle, temperatures, APU/EPU status, loading, unloading, detention, layovers, and 34-hour rest periods. Allocate actual idle hours to climate control, equipment use, regeneration or maintenance, traffic, and other documented needs.

Review estimated idle gallons and costs, actual MPG, estimated moving MPG, raw and adjusted idle rates, weekly and monthly totals, and driver or unit summaries. Set your own fuel price, idle burn rate, temperature thresholds, and review target.

CAPACITY AND USE

500 daily log entries and 50 driver or unit summary slots per workbook. One truck or driver day uses one entry. Manual entry from your records; no automatic ELD or telematics connection. For large fleets, use a defined group and review period or request a separately quoted project.

BUILT FOR A FAIR REVIEW

Temperature and detention are context, not automatic excuses for every idle hour. Allocate each actual idle hour once and keep supporting records. Remaining idle is a review prompt, not proof of driver misconduct. Fuel costs are estimates based on the values you enter.

Instant digital download: Fleet_Idle_Analyzer_Mobile_Safe.xlsx. Instructions are inside the workbook; no separate PDF. Intended for Microsoft Excel. Mobile layout avoids frozen panes; phone and spreadsheet app behavior can vary.

$49 one-time purchase. Internal business use; resale or redistribution of the blank template is not included. Consulting is separate.
