If someone can put a case together that shows a link between high heat exposure and brain damage, we might be able to get some AC installed with a class action lawsuit.
Package Car Drivers' Heat Exhaustion, Heat Stroke and Heat Related Deaths should be a top safety priority.

I believe if everyone showed courage and strictly followed the UPS heat related illness and safety training it would only be a matter of time before UPS would climate control all their vehicle and facilities.

That is a two-headed coin.
Old school is the best way to reduce time in the 130° oven that is that is the back of the car
Line em up and go

All they’d have to do is take some interviews of our employees and make a video compilation. Case closed

No it does not!
But bad management does by saying 95% compliance and when it wants you to zig zag across a 5 lane highway instead of the safe way going down one side making right hand turns. New drivers will follow it because they are told to and don’t know better! That is messed up!!
It’s so pathetic that these new drivers are trained by people who have never been a driver.
I also find humor in the fact that they want you to follow your Orion trace and map navigation because it is the most efficient way to run the route and you mis businesses or have late air, management try’s to hold you responsible for not fixing its mistakes it’s your responsibility!
You can’t have it both ways. It’s a pure failure but UPS can’t fess up to it! You want it followed? Live with the errors!
So 99.9% of the packages are in the system when preload starts why does your super program Orion not have this figured out and then loaded that way in the car??
Appreciate your insight. Seriously take a step back and chill out and enjoy a breather. I’m on the tail end of my career and definitely realize the importance of following the guidelines. Remember you didn’t write them but you will pay the price if you don’t follow them. Seriously… it’s just a box and it’s not even your box. You took the cool solutions training. Make brown proud by following the training.Yes you do.
Jesus Christ people. The company has you people afraid of your own shadows.
If you need to take a break due to the onset of heat illness or heat stroke, do it. If you need to leave to refill your water, do it. They can't do. Sure they'll threaten you that they can, but they can't. Between article 18 of the contract and OSHA regulations, you've got plenty of options for dealing with their games. Hell, call your local news station even. UPS loves that one.
capitalists look at maximizing short term profits.
power corrupts. absolute power corrupts absolutely. this is our economic system. but it doesnt have to be this way.

I am sure the OC was probably forced to go with him . Probably trying to get his "production numbers" up .
No doubt.

Ah ! The 97 strike, a 2 week unpaid vacation but well worth it. Aug 1st 1997 will live on in our minds forever. We had a few drivers cross picket lines and we never forgot them . Fat center manager's and OCS trying to run routes Man it was hilarious .
Too much power corruption there too

I get itinerary updates every 20 mins.
They should remove the “Create” tab on the main screen and replace it with pickups.

How far up the corporate ladder are you? You are definitely detached from reality on the "ORION has nothing to what happens in the back of the truck"
UPS finally put fans in package cars and it helps immensely.
UPS uses nonsense as the reason for not protecting its workers with air conditioning.
UPS states: The company does not air-condition its fleet of package trucks, Gaut added, because frequent stops and the size of the vehicles would render air conditioning "ineffective."
Ineffective. POPPYCOCK
Just don't lie about it. How about: We don't have ac because we don't care about workers; we care about $$$$$
AC would help drastically.
