Starting Friday, June 11, West Virginia's anti-idling rule will take effect. The rule applies to diesel-powered vehicles weighing over 10,000 pounds. Such vehicles will be limited to idling for no more than 15 minutes and violators will face a fine from $150 to $300. Owners and/or operators could be subject to the fines, including those at locations where trucks load or unload.
Exceptions to the anti-idling rule include idling while sleeping or resting, while in traffic, when required by law to stop, or when it is necessary "to operate defrosters, heaters, air conditioners or cargo refrigeration equipment."
