[QUOTE="iowa boy, post: 863722, member: 13555"] Salesguy, Reread my post, I said that UPS is spending how many millions on Telematics and how this has absolutely NO benefit to the drivers. But when the subject of A/C comes up, its too expensive. I can go on, but hopefully you are smart enough to understand my point. And A\C has everything to do with safety. If you have to call the center where I work because the heat is getting to you, you are charged for an injury and it goes in your file. It doesn't matter how much water or Gaterade or whatever you choose to drink, when its 125 in the cab of the car you are driving with the doors open, how is the driver supposed to cool down? Even OSHA says more breaks should be given when working in the heat for 10 or 11 hours but then again, that would cost money so we can't do that to benefit the drivers. Here's a real thought for you Salesguy, why not go out and drive to each and every one of your customers in your own car, not using the A/C, with only two windows down, and see how you perform in the heat for 10 or 11 hours. But be careful, you may just get your crisp white shirt sweaty. If you can't do that, just don't go into the air conditioned office where you work and spend time some time inside a trailer either loading or unloading it. And then come back here and tell me that A/C has nothing to do with safety when you are ready to pass out from the heat. I have said it before and I will say it again, "safety first unless it costs the company money". If it costs the company money, then all bets are off. [/QUOTE]
