UPS drivers face health risks in trucks without air conditioning – KVOA

It’s happening all over the United States. UPS trucks are not being air-conditioned, and for some drivers, this is causing heat-related illnesses.

NBC found over 100 reports across 23 states of UPS employees being admitted to the hospital for heat-related illnesses since 2015. Arizona is among those states.

As a heatwave moves across the country and triple-digit heat lingers here in Tucson, the conditions can be dangerous.

UPS: Air conditioning in delivery trucks is ineffective – WJLA

ABC7’s John Gonzalez’s first job was when he was a junior in high school stocking the inside of UPS trucks in Laurel, Maryland and it would get hot inside those trucks.

Now, there is a petition Friday garnering a lot of attention and picking up steam calling on UPS to add air conditioning inside the popular brown trucks.

A lot of people don’t realize that these drivers are going around from delivery to delivery, and they do not have air conditioning in the vehicles.

UPS driver says trucks without A/C create dangerous conditions – NBC 12

Delivering packages is something local UPS truck driver James Trusty enjoys doing day in and day out.

“UPS has provided me my family and everyone I know who works there with a great life,” Trusty said.

But Trusty says many of those days spent driving in record-breaking heat during the summer can be brutal, especially when the truck he drives has no air conditioning.

“The front of the truck has no relief, no air conditioning, no cool air and no way to really cool off,” Trusty said.
