[QUOTE="soberups, post: 4139647, member: 14668"] AC will never happen in package cars. But there are some things that UPS could do that would make a huge difference. #1- Paint the top half of the cargo box white, with the logo and a gold and brown stripe on the side. White reflects heat, dark brown absorbs it. #2 Quit making the roof of the package compartment out of clear greenhouse fiberglass that lets in heat and sunlight. Replace it with a solid white metal roof that would reflect heat. Use high intensity LED lights in back for visibility. #3 A high volume electric fan to circulate air in and out of the package compartment. #4 During declared heat emergencies, relax the commit times like we do when it snows. Turn off ORION so we arent digging in the back for 2 extra hours per day. And have a hard, no-exceptions 9.5 cap on hours worked when the heat index reaches a certain point. #5 Breathable uniforms in a lighter color. These are realistic and affordable proposals. [/QUOTE]
