    If that engine runs for 8 hours every day, close to 2 hours of it is at idle. Not the greatest.

    With that kind of mileage you're kind of rolling the dice with the emission system anyways. If no maintenance has been done to it then you're going to start running into issues very soon regardless.

    That is a high idle time percentage for a truck with an APU. Are you sure the APU works?

    I asked one of the drivers who works for the company that was using the truck and he said idling 2 hours in the summer due to a delay in loading and unloading

    My idle time with an apu was under 2%. I'd say anything over 8% is high.
