[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1162316, member: 14668"] I would love to have AC but the fact of the matter is that there is no realistic way to cool down the interior of a package car. Harsh, miserable working conditions are part of what we signed on for when we accepted employment as drivers and they are a big part of why we get paid what we do. The bottom line is that heat is like any other extreme weather condition; it slows us down and requires us to take added precautions for our own safety. Instead of trying to get the company to put AC in the cars...which will never happen...we should pursue contract language limiting the number of hours we can be required to work once the heat index reaches a certain point. This would be a far more realistic and beneficial goal. [/QUOTE]
