In some states, idling a commercial diesel is illegal. Pollution, I imagine.
And letting our engines idle for a bit is not going to hurt. If you have a working t'stat, it'll come up to temp, and stay there, regardless of whether or not you're moving, so once it hits 80c, or whatever temp your car runs at, you are wasting fuel, albeit, not much, according to some.
