Trying to beat the heat...

[toonertoo]

23 plus years in. Never saw vehicle with a fan. It was one of our contract proposals though.

I dont have one either, I think they took them all out. I once had one and it really helped.

 

[toonertoo]

I wonder if i wet my pants of it will do the same....

No, You will be stinky, and sticky, not a good idea. Plus you shouldnt have to pee if you are working hard enough.

I had a fan in my truck today couldn't believe it hadn't seen one in a few years.

You don't know what you are missing----although they aren't suppose to be mounted up above the drivers door so they blow hot air on you. Whoever the mechanic was who did that needs his head examinded. They also worked great in the winter to keep your windshield from frosting up. Actually that what they were designed for in the first palce.

I do have power steering though. Small victories.

We have fans in every single vehicle.

 

[Jackburton]

They even put fans in the non power steering ones at our hub.

I used to have a fan; I got a new package car and told the mechanic to leave the fan out. If I want to hear another rattle, I'll put a coffee can on the dash and throw a rock in it.

Now since Ga has been moved to South Atlantic division and the trucks in South Carolina have fans, we can now write up trucks to have a fan installed. Not too sure how effective it will be, after all it is still only moving around hot air......BC

I'm so glad I was off last week. "Hot enough for ya?" gets really old really quick.

 

[WorknLateHuh]

The hottest it gets here is bout 95, maybe 100 on rare occaasions. The absolute worst is when you can't find a package and your forced to search in 15-20 second increments because the back is unbearable. It's sad when you step out of the back and into the 95 degree heat, and it feels cool. With the countless costomers asking about a/c, thinking about it, it would almost be better to just have a/c in the back.

Looking for any tips not mentioned here that others could use.....BC(BETTER CONTRACT)

i keep a photograph of a glacier taped to the dash * it's all about mind-control

It will just remind you of having one of your bosses on car with you. They make a lot of noise and blow hot air....but at least with the fan, you can turn it off when it gets on your nerves.

I, "man up" and take it!

I hope the pacers beat those bastards, i can't stand the heat!

Honestly I'm surprised we don't have at least a weak reefer unit in the back for the summer. I see chocolates and gift baskets getting shipped with it being like 100+ degrees in the back with no dry ice and you just know they have to be a melted mess on arrival.
