114° Friday, how hot was your delivery area?

With a fan I wasn't ever really that uncomfortable in the cab. But there were times digging for a package where I'd literally have to come back to the cab to take a breather, then go back in and start searching again.

It's seriously unsafe down here in the South.

We have fans in our Sprinters. It really doesn't make much of a difference.

The only time I turn it on is when I I have some stinky fish or Cowgirl Creamery Cheese.

HVAC place on my route has these "cooling vests" that the workers use when they have attic work. They are basically liquid filled that they keep in a freezer until they are needed. I tried one on, and it literally took my breath away. I always wanted to get one, but it would take 2, and a big enough ice chest to keep one in as they only have a cooling effect for a couple hours, and they are about 250- 300 dollars EACH.

They make much cheaper versions you can find on Amazon. I used one. Froze it over night. Put it on at lunch break,(cold as friend on your back) took a 30 minute nap on the shelf in 100+ degree heat. I was cool as ice. Felt so good. It would last about 45 minutes on a really hot day. Stuff it back in my ice chest to recharge.

I am not saying this doesn't happen so don't think that way, but....OMFG a WC attorney would rape the ever living out of the company if this could be proven!

I have often wondered why every FedEx truck I have ever seen had an open BH door. You all strap it open!!!!

Yeah, I mainly use the anchor point of the passenger seat to hold the last couple of stops of my route...

After 30-50 stops, center aisle clear & I mainly go thru the mouse hole of a bulkhead door for the rest of the day

You obviously haven't talked to firefighters in Cali.

That’s exactly what I said in my post.
