Thoughts on these things being tested?

[Jackburton]

Posted awhile back about UPS trying white trucks, our center has 4-6 I think. Along with this they are also testing some newer things in classic brown colored trucks.

Heated seats, vented seats (slit is in the headrest) not much airflow from what I can tell. Two fans in the cab, along with one or two (couple package cars have one, others have 2) larger fans in the back pointing upwards, along with vented bulkhead door (even has a filter). Also the lights in the back are MUCH brighter and motion activated, so you basically leave them on the whole time.

Any questions, I can try to answer, buddy of mine is driving one of these.

Cargo area fans only run while bulkhead door is open as of right now. Only vent is the one on the bulkhead door

That’s not enough

What kind of vent is on the roof for the fan? Can water get to it easily? I see that thing lasting about a month.

How about refrigeration units for the back. Lol

They don’t make things to withstand the abuse they will get on those trucks.

Right. I can already see the power wires getting jacked the first time they bulk out the car. How many times is a mechanic going to fix that before he tears it out and says parts on order. I guess at least they're making a effort.

With the amount of money UPS spent putting cameras in every car and tractor, I would be pissed driving around in a package car without some sort of air conditioning in the cargo area. Funny how money is of no importance when it comes to watching your every movement but when it comes to your safety, that’s when they cheap out.

Anything they can do to ventilate the back is much appreciated…..

So easy to vent it too. But nooooo! Drivers gotta work in an oven. Maybe they’re afraid you’ll take a nap back there.

We have some trucks that have that white fan on top of the top but most of them have been knocked off

Hasn’t rain here yet, can’t imagine they didn’t test that.

Word on the street is the white ones are rentals or leased any truth to this?

Can’t speak to if they are bought or not, but they are set up just like normal package cars, painted white on the hood and I think the back portion is a wrap, but don’t quote me on it, I’ll ask around. We have 6 in the lineup I think right now, going out like normal.

But we’ll still get done 10 o’clock. Thanks UPS. They just want you to enjoy being at work longer.
