[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 1767718, member: 12508"] Bring a thermometer and measure the actual temperature in the cab. If it is excessive, you are being placed in a hazardous working environment. Way back when, a lot of our CTV tractors were Ford 9000's, which were notorious for having the AC fail, and then pumping copious amounts of hot air into the cab. Having the engine there in your lap didn't help, and the ventilation was useless. We were forbidden to shut-off the heater valves, but often did so anyway. FedEx wouldn't fix them, because it "didn't affect the performance of the vehicle or vehicle safety". So, we started recording temperatures, which hit 120 degrees. One guy said he had heatstroke, and parked his CTV, which missed the plane. This got their attention. Push it as a safety concern, but back it up with real data. [/QUOTE]
