UPS Driver wearing shorts in below zero temps!

[MN FEEDER]

There's a UPS package driver in Austin, MN that wears shorts year round even in sub-zero weather. Not only does he look utterly ridiculous it is extremely dangerous should his truck break down or if he has an accident. I'm wondering if this is a UPS dress code violation?

Several feeder guys here do also so apparently not. Just hope they're higher on the board than you so you can move up when they freeze to death.

We have a couple of morbidly obese guys that wear shorts year-round, even in freezing temperatures. On occasion management has asked them not to, but after awhile, they don't care.

Yea, but do feeder guys really have to leave the heated cab for that long? Just wondering?

Nope not a violation.

I call them "image drivers", which could be an oxymoron when you think about it?

Who really cares?? Get a life thread maker!

A significant percentage of the drivers in my building...me included...wear shorts all winter. It doesnt get below zero here, but it does get down in the 20's. I only wear pants if i know that i will have to be putting on tire chains in the snow. A couple of years ago it got down to 11 degrees and there were several drivers...me included...were still wearing shorts. Its an Oregon thing. We dont use umbrellas either.

I used to have a rule that I would wear shorts until the snow was deep enough to get into my shoes. If my feet got cold, then I got cold.

Makes me feel like a real sissy.

Above 60 degrees, I wear shorts. From about 60 to 45 is a pants day, below 45 I wear pants with Underarmour.

Even after sunset? During the day, I was surprised how hot I got as a helper. I could be dressed comfortable for sitting around in heated office on a 30 degree day and I still start to cook if there's sunshine. Temperature didn't matter as much as sunshine.

As for your concern regarding accident, I'm not sure if the risk is serious enough. Kids and some adults wear helmet while riding a bike, because head injury is usually the most serious of all injury for a fall. So, what do you suggest? Require helmet as uniform during elevated risk of falls?

Well now we have the answer! You should have worn a helmet.

We had a center manger who would not approve new pants for a driver (actually for any one), he was wearing the same pair of pants forever.

Finally one day he came in wearing long underwear with shorts on, said his pants riped and this is all he had. It was funny as hell, he got the day off, and 5 new pants nda 2 days later.
