I think global warming is going to make this a real HOT issue for you guys.

Fortunately, the earth has been cooling for over 15 years now.

 

[swing_drv]

Go ahead---most of them don't work anyway.

I think heaters are a D.O.T.D. requirement.

Good then you don't need A/C. You need heaters.

 

[Cowboy Mac]

Signed it. It takes 2 minutes guys, the worst they can say is no.

Not worth the waste of 2 minutes. When will this thread die?

 

[JL 0513]

Uh wut?

The earth hasn't warmed at all since 1997.

You're not believing the leftist media, are you?

 

[retiredTxfeeder]

Yes, I believe the heaters/defrost equipment is required by the DOT.

This thread illustrates the pussification of America.

In 26 years, I have never driven a package car that the heater didn't work in. You guys must have a bunch up Beaters up there. Even the ones I drove with a choke button and wooden bulk head doors, had working heaters.

The desiel trucks are horrible with heat. I kept writing it up the. Finally the mechanic comes up to me and says "there is nothing wrong with the heat these trucks are just a piece of ".

Those tiny fans that blow heat and dust in your face? Yeah,we got those.

I went a year or so after getting my new truck trying to tough it out without that tiny fan...it was miserable. I just finally had my mechanic put a new fan in.

The new fans they use are super high velocity and so powerful that they move air in from outside instead of just blowing around the hot air in the cab. I found that out the hard way when I forgot to empty my trash and my lunch remains had gone rancid over the weekend, complete with maggots (nasty). I smelled nothing until each time I turned the truck on (truck not moving) and the fan kicked in, which sucked in air from outside past the trash can and blew it into my face (fan is mounted above windshield by backup cam monitor). Felt like someone was smacking me with a decomposing corpse for half an hour until I figured it out.

Life has been so much nicer since I got a fan back. Without it I'm soaking wet all day--With it, I stay relatively dry.

I would never take a truck out in the winter that didn't have a working heater. Last time they tried to get me to run a truck where the heater died mid-day in January I told them I was either bringing the truck in or they were bringing me a new one. New one was out in about 20 minutes.

Yeah, the 90s diesel 700s had really crappy heaters compared to the workhorse 700s of this millennium. Those are as toasty as the new freightliners, possibly hotter.

I think we're seeing a climate change in New England, but not "global warming" per se. Last few winters have been colder and summers have been warmer. Also there have been really weird days in December last couple of winters where I could wear shorts in New England.

I'm all for it, stay cool baby!

I see allot of pessimistic people in here. It takes two minutes to sign a petition. You never know what kind of uproar this petition can cause. We need to help each other out and let our voices be heard by this petition. Take two minutes out of your day and sign it. Forward the Petition to family and friends and ask them to kindly pass it on!

[Big brown garbage machine]

If you think UPS is going to put A/C in package cars you are delusional.

Stay positive and forward this petition to all friends and family. The negative people will kill it by not helping. You never know.

Here is an article from a few years ago about the company testing a new light weight vehicle in MI. Read the end of the article and see what the driver's complaint was lol.

View attachment 46132 This is all I have to cool off. Im on an all residential route with no restaurants or places to cool off in the air conditioning all day. I carry four of them, I freeze them solid the night before. The trick is to only fill up about a half inch below the neck of the bottle so that the ice expansion doesn't bust the bottle. I store in an insulated lunch box and have ice all day. I will top them off with bottled water as the ice melts. I have survived thirty-one years of high humidity Southern Summers. A/C isn't going to happen.

Keep your fingers out of doors. Those nails look terrible.

 

[Integrity]

There will be A/C in UPS delivery trucks and facilities some day.

Sincerely,
I

Never. It would cost the company way too much money for something that is a luxury and has no value to the company.
