I love my job. Don't you?
Such a silly hill to die on. How long will it take for these to even trickle down in noticeable numbers? Secondly we will have to pay for this somehow. Wether through concessions or extra work. It’s a great idea but not one that a lot of us will be able to use. Especially tighter routes where you may get a minute tops in between stops if that.

Yeah, I'm a road hog
Very important to consider what the give and take will be on this. Short term gratification of maybe having a PC with air that in all reality will be ineffective based of the job or, long term benefits of getting something more tangible and useful on a longer term basis. Basically, something worth more than cool air for the long haul.

The manufacturer is probably going to make A/C a non-deleted option anyway. All of them have power brakes, power steering, and automatic transmissions. All the other companies have been buying A/C vans for years. A/C as a contract demand means a concession somewhere else. Better real ventilation in the back should have been bargained for a long time ago.

You smell that?
That's what I thought, it's gotten to the point it's more expensive to delete AC. That and the horrible PR they got last Summer with drivers falling out on Ring cameras.

It's a vicious cycle
I hope not. if they install anything "off the shelf" so to speak, A. it won't do 
for how hot it gets and B. will cost an outrageous amount of money. if they install anything that actually works to lower the temperature it will cost a ridiculously insane amount of money. now you might not give much thought about the expenses of the company, but we're all paid out of the same pile of money and blowing it on AC means that it's going to be harder to press for raises and pension fund contributions and healthcare.

It’s a PR stunt. Now the company can justify lower raises. In the long run it won’t really help the driver much.

They have bought so many new trucks recently, most won't see AC for years....
