[QUOTE="Operational needs, post: 5326494, member: 43500"] I have no dog in this fight but speaking from experience, A/C wouldn’t do you guys a lot of good. You are generally in and out of your trucks too often. My first ten years at FedEx Express we had no A/C, just a fan blowing around the hot air. After getting AC in a 700, I realized that the only time it really helped was going out to my route and back. The package cars aren’t insulated so as soon as you open the doors, out goes the cold air, and because they're not insulated, cooling down the cab is not instantaneous. I think the younger people need to pay closer attention to their health. Monsters, Red Bull, and all the other energy drinks are not healthy and contain caffeine which increase blood pressure and heart rate. It’s horrible for anyone to die from heat, but there has to be some personable responsibility. Drivers have been working in the heat for many years, even wearing pants, and have managed to survive. I get that the young’s guys are being worked like mules, but they HAVE to be smart about working in the heat. [/QUOTE]
