[QUOTE="pickup, post: 550174"] yeah, you got a point, we've all seen what it is like the drivers take their positons and start their package cars in the morning. Where I am at the feeder vehicles never go into the buildings. I've seen in the philly(Hub) that the feeder tractors and shifters do go in and out of some buildings to pickup and drop trailers so it might be more of a concern because diesel exhaust contains particulate matter that can cause respiratory problems akin, to abestosis, slicosis, coal miner's lung(coalworker's pneumoconiosis) ,. My opinion: same disease caused by the different particulate matter. As for the cardboard dust, that's always going to be present, but the way to prevent the floor from being covered by this stuff is to use sweeping compound which binds it and keeps it from kicking up. That however means money for the compound and guys to apply it and sweep it up. I don't think ups is going to do this anytime soon unless someone forces them [/QUOTE]
