I work for FedEx Express in Northern WI. I lucked out. They just replaced my W700 for a new one with AC. wooohoooo It even has vents for the cargo area. Someone in Memphis certainly wised up. Hopefully this is a trend.

To fight the heat I carry a towel to whipe off the sweat and keep my cooler filled with ice and water and/or Gatorade. I drink it whenever I can. Even if I'm not thirsty. When I was going through basic training in San Antonio we were told we had to drink 10-12 canteens of water each day. That means drinking even when we weren't thirsty. We were told (this is kinda gross so people with a weak stomach should stop reading here) that the brighter our urine was the more dehydrated we were. We were told that "clear piss is good...flouresant piss is bad." We were also told that if we didn't "have to go" at least three times every 6 hours then that meant we were getting dehydrated.
Whenever you are yellow, youre getting in trouble, it should be clear and not much odor
Too much water??? I can't believe it... But I believe you if you say so, just hard to believe....
Unless you've eaten asparagus.
You can drink too much water! As a few have stated drinking something with electrolytes (such as Gatorade) will replace the sodium you have sweated out. If you aren’t a big fan of sports drinks you can also replace the salt by drinking fruit juice, eating soft fruits or vegetables Hyponatremia is what happens (also known as water intoxication).
You also don’t want your urine to look clear; a light yellow (kind of like lemonade) is better. If your urine is too clear it means too much water; too dark is a sign of dehydration.
If you are eating and drinking water throughout the day you should be fine. People get into trouble when they just drink water (and usually they drink a lot in a very short period of time) and don’t replace the salt they have lost.

There are a lot of web sites you can check out on these topics. I got most of my information from my nursing text books (and class notes). Another good source is this site: http://www.hhp.ufl.edu/faculty/pbird/keepingfit/ARTICLE/toomuchwater.htm
Just be smart this summer and stay safe!
Very interesting about the water intoxication, I am going to read up on it. But how much water are we talking about in order to get those symptons?? It would have to be an incredible amount I would assume..
Remember the radio contest? The lady in San Diego area drank as much water as she could in a very short time....died!
