Sucks for you, most of the fans in my local are like mini leaf blowers and the air from them is quite cool.

Would the truck be running long enough for it to cool off?
I like the idea but if you are starting and stopping every 5 minutes you're not gonna cool off that truck any more then me trying to heat it in the winter time.

A bicyle with training wheels?

Sisyphus had it easy.
I heat is a good way to sweat out the beer from the night before.
Is a fan a supplement thing? Not one of our pc's have them.
As opposed to NO pants.

Oh man....I'd hate to think we are that weak. A bunch of crybabies! I live in the southeast where the heat and humidity can be so tough but it's really not so bad once you adjust to it each year. First week is brutal..after that it's just another part of the job. Drink lots of water before, during and after your shift. Eat light during the day and listen to your body. You know when you need a break and are getting overheated. You know who I feel for? Those guys that are laying roofs and doing yard work all day in the sun. You ever wonder why it's mostly immigrants doing that work? It's because we are raising a bunch of wussies evidently. Oh and Happy 4th. Lol

Who needs AC. Stay in shape, drink water, and sweating will take care of keeping you cool. These modern convinces make you weak. Toughen up.

When the humidity is over 70%, sweating doesn't cool you off. There is very little evaporation going on. You must not work in the south.

I never understood the Fan. Blowing a bunch of hot air and caked dirt in my face. No thanks

Wrong my friend. I have trained with the military in the the south, out west in the desert, Kuwait, and combat in Iraq in full body armor. Need I say more.
So you're aware of black flag days. Had 'em at Parris Island. Had 'em at Camp Geiger. Had 'em at 29 Palms. What point are you trying to prove? UPS is not the military.
For those unfamiliar, black flag is when all non-essential physical activity is canceled or brought indoors due to excessive heat at Marine installations.

Proving that you don't know what you're talking about. The body sweats to cool itself off. The main goal or target temperature the of the body is 98.6°. The reason the body sweats is to bring the body temperature down. Eat a balanced diet, drink plenty of water, and quit your whining.

Extreme high humidity doesn't allow your sweat to evaporate, thus eliminating the body's natural ability to cool. I think this is pretty common knowledge and the main reason there's more heat related illnesses in the south and east vs the west.
What part of my statement is inaccurate and how does that pertain to the science of sweat?
