New Video! AC in the trucks! Is it a good thing?

A/C is for pusillanimous. This is all I have for A/C while working in the blazing summer sun. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Greg mentions article 18 language and the replacement rate of vehicles.

https://teamster.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/ups18nationalmaster.pdf

That language has been in the contract since 1997.

"All new package cars placed into service after August 1, 1997, shall be equipped with power steering."


Hah.... good one !

What are you a Taliban member?

No. Gotta maintain zero skin exposure. Don't want to get burned and look like a wrinkly brown raisin when I'm older.

I pray that @IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U will be around to enjoy an air conditioned package car for many years to come.

Holy hell that’s hilarious

Gonna find every red light to sit at and every bit of traffic in the city to sit in and enjoy that until the compressor breaks when we get them in the fleet.
Gonna donkey kick the bulk head off track too and call it in so I can keep that damn thing open all day. Pump that ac into the back.

Not an expert but just goggled A/C in electric vehicles..apparently the batteries need a cooling system to operate.

Just how many of those newly acquired package cars in 2024 will be electric?

Even in my own vehicle you have replace your A/C unit in order for it to work.

UPS needs more employees like you.

I know

I hope we didn’t have to give anything up for something they should’ve been done a long time ago. I trust the negotiating team knows that.

"All new package cars placed into service after August 1, 1997, shall be equipped with power steering"

If we gave up power steering I WILL NOT BE HAPPY. A high stepper w/o power steering= a very miserable day.

Well with AC in the trucks when it rains maybe you will be able to keep the windows from fogging up.

 

[DOK]

How will the AC work for routes in the city or developments, where stops are close?

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

We will not see in our lifetime so it doesn't not matter

 

[rod]

It won't. It would be totally useless for any route with close together stops.

 

[rod]

It also won't do a damn thing for getting rid of the 150 degree heat in the rear of the truck.

"Parts on order.... OK to run."

That’s where it’s going to be fun. However I do see ups making a huge push to actually maintain the fleet we have now. Mechanics will be very busy soon.
