I used that excuse every time they would catch me in the winter with the truck running and me not in it.

It got so I would just tell them " if I shut the ignition off the heater quits".

We had one driver last winter that our On Road pulled him into the office and said "Why do you keep having 5 or 6 recording in idles" etc. That day he had 5 again...Center Manager wanted to give him a warning letter.

A couple years ago they were hot and heavy about it. I didn’t hear anything about it this year and I don’t really think I ever shut my truck off on those cold days. Even if they would’ve said something, I would’ve ignored it I’m not freezing to death for them.

Management are soulless creatures.

God, I hate winter

God, I hate winter

Had one day this last winter where my truck never read above -13. Zero recording while idle.
Work as directed. Was I way over allowed that day? You bet your booty. I'll shut the truck off, but I'm going to make sure I warm up, my windshield is clear, and I'm hydrated. I'll take the OT.

Not necessarily. UPS could have agreed to this to keep the Union from pushing to retro-fit all package cars with A/C. This proposal could be a concession from UPS in and of itself, on this issue only, not affecting any other negotiations.

We will see.
