A/C

48 degrees out

Must be nice it’s currently 80 degrees at my house, feels like 88 with 92 percent humidity.

I say get the cooling sleeves soaked in water plus the AC blowing cool air on us will feel pretty damn good. Better than nothing at least.

I'm sure it'll feel fine for the few minutes you're in it. I'm not hating on the a/c deal, it's just not something I would've ever asked for.

Why don’t they drill big holes in the bulkhead doors ? It’ll keep boxes from flying through and give the back ventilation.

But what do I know , I’m just a dumb truck driver

I’m putting you in charge of designing package cars for the next 7 months.

Be careful of what you ask for....

Don't know what you'll get.

I get an ice cold water from my cooler and dump it on my hat, sleeves, and cooling towel. And pour some down my back. Every 2 hours. It’s life or death for us here.

Actually.... that's not a bad idea.

Too bad, UPS will say they thought of it first.... and had it in development for years.

We shoulda fought for urinals in all package cars

My gatorade bottle and I have a “close” relationship. We are a team.

It would push heat in the back too during the winter

With this AC deal we can kiss a fat raise goodbye. I’d rather have lower stop counts in excessive heat, not having to work as hard would help more than some cool air blowing on you for 20 seconds at a time. Scrap the AC and give me $50 an hour, it would be cheaper for the company.

Funny, it doesn’t sound like you read any of the comments. That would be like if you said five years ago “ funny it doesn’t seem like anyone’s happy that RP CDs don’t have to work Saturday anymore, and they’re going to get overtime under control”
The devils in the details and we don’t know the details yet.

I’ve also stated elsewhere that it’s not an insignificant agreement. I just want to know the details and how it’s going to work.

That's where I am with it. I'm not taking a on it, I just don't know what it's gonna cost. If there's something I'm borderline unhappy with, "at least we got air conditioning" isn't gonna sway me.

If they said 0800 start for the life of the contract, I might give up my raises.
