A/C

[burrheadd]

I wonder @rod if they boys down south ever spilt a coffee on the floor or shelf , and saw it freeze in about 2 minutes ??

Sat a can of Coke in a cup holder I had rigged up on the dash defore cup holders were standard equipment

froze solid in less than an hour

The A/C in my tractah is very cold , I have no complaints @cosis

Educate me on the history of UPS tractors being equipped with A/C. Why them and not package. Most of the feeders run at night when its cooler anyway. I always wondered about that.

Federal DOT law ,not the goodness of their hearts ,, the heat generated from those engines is very warm , the DOT don’t want drivers to be overheated pulling those heavy rigs

year-round with 95F is easy. Just like 10F. The north is worse for adjusting to weather because your body and mind are acclimating day to day

Miserable?
You're a baby. It's not even that hot. You have giant doors on both sides of your truck that is blasting you with air. You're cruising around in a wind tunnel.
Try loading a trailer that has been baking in the sun all day and if you stop 3 seconds to drink some water some sup starts screaming at you.

Most all of us started where you are ....you ain't special.

How much less per hour would you all take in order to have a/c in the truck? $2/hour? $5/hour? None? Heat index hits 100+ in the summer everyday.. miserable

Zero, no need for beards, tats, shorts, or least of all, a/c.

Whoa, hold it, I’d take AC, just not for less money.

Forget ac in the trucks we need it in the hubs more than drivers do you guys make enough money to afford a big decent cooler that you can always keep cold and stocked

You will quit in nine months, you don’t need AC. Besides we don’t care about the hubworkers!

Man up woose. (a/c would be nice)

 

[MyTripisCut]

Man up woose.

Honestly I’d take just a fan in the cab.

No, but I have a burn mark on my calf right now from the 130 degree metal in the back of the package car.

Go on vacation, split drivers would destroy for no logical reason.


(Fan was perfectly fine the Friday before vacation...)

@BakerMayfield2018 ... this guy's pencil thin calves would never make metal contact!

That might not be a good idea....

Ever try and drive at night in a rain storm when it's 80+ degrees outside with no a/c? Windows will fog up so bad you can't see a thing.

We’ve been trying for fans for awhile. Petitions, grievances. The contract clearly states no reasonable request will be denied, but UPS keeps dodging it in our division

 

[Total package]

If you travel one state over in 3 directions, the package cars all have them and the drivers tell us they’ve had fans for years
