Roof mount solar power fan... just like this compact one on a boat:
Not intrusive at all and totally self contained... sunny long days can keep the air flow until dusk.

The only thing ac would do is increase idling time harassment

HVAC place on my route has these "cooling vests" that the workers use when they have attic work. They are basically liquid filled that they keep in a freezer until they are needed. I tried one on, and it literally took my breath away. I always wanted to get one, but it would take 2, and a big enough ice chest to keep one in as they only have a cooling effect for a couple hours, and they are about 250- 300 dollars EACH.

That makes too much sense. UPS would never....

Drivers that don’t take care of their health are idoits. What does management have to do with the fact you are dumb and are not drinking when it’s 114 outside? People act like it’s not like this ever summer lol. Also voting yes or no won’t change the fact that they will still be sitting behind a desk while we work our burrs off...

They make those wet towels you can put around your neck. I use one every day. Just wet it ever hour or so and it helps a ton. Also drinking water...

Which makes AC in the cab much more feasible.

Exactly, I guess we really do have drivers that are intellectually challenged and need to be told to hydrate during the heat wave.
Those same drivers, I'm afraid will take the bait on this tentatively agreed contract and vote yes. Pathetic.

I've been around the block a time or two; long enough where we had to deliver in long pants, and use paper records. Writing on sweaty paper with dripping sweaty hands is almost as bad as the jungle rot you'd get on your crotch. It was disgustingly hot and gross.
Fake news. They have heat lamps they put you under, or so I’ve heard.

Itd have to move at least 800 cfms to be even close to effective.IView attachment 201123

Uh, I'm no engineer, but wouldn't a fuller package car have less air volume that needed to be cooled/circulated by a fan?
Would equipping all new package cars with some sort of venting be that hard?
They've got Workhorse inventing this "horsefly" rooftop drone delivery system, but they can't engineer a simple fan/vent system? Give me a friggin break.

Not having ac is motivation to drive faster with the doors open my guy.

The engineer's could simply put AC in the cab as well. It's really not that complicated.

Whatever man, my tractor's air conditioning is ice cold, and my IVIS is "broken" and doesn't record my idle time.
Just seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to get some venting so the package cars would at least be around ambient temperature back there.
If you're comfortable with your hell more power to you.

With a fan I wasn't ever really that uncomfortable in the cab. But there were times digging for a package where I'd literally have to come back to the cab to take a breather, then go back in and start searching again.
It's seriously unsafe down here in the South.
