[QUOTE="IworkWhatdoUdo??, post: 4138110, member: 74929"] Unfortunately, as I understand the 'want' to air condition the trucks, I don't see the point. I live in an area that experiences both extremes. I drive with the doors open. In the winter, temperature hovering around -20 degrees. We stop, deliver package, get in the truck, and keep moving. In that time, the temperature of the cab of that truck has fallen so much, that you may as well not had any heat at all... (assuming that your POS truck had heat to begin with). Works the same way with AC. I believe, that we should heat/air condition the cargo hold of the truck. That's what the company should be focused on. The company wants to say that we spend minimal amount of time in the back, I disagree. When I have to search for a piece of :censored: package in 150+ or -20 degree truck, that's what takes the most toll out of me. And that's the door that's opened the least... Time wise. And at the very least, if the company wants to boast that they allow us the time to take extra breaks in the extreme temps, it'll be nice to hang out in the climate control cargo area of our POS trucks [/QUOTE]
