Please stop scaring me. You are a tough guy.
UPS hasn't bought any new pkg cars this year, avoiding promised AC.

I thought you meant package cars with air-conditioning, I haven’t seen any of those yet. Doubt I will for a very long time.

Need to increase the airflow back there, swiss cheese bulk head doors or a ram air intake instead of a do nothing whirlybird could help with that. The vents in the cargo area of the post office trucks look like they work good. There are a lot of things that could potentially help. Decreased workloads and earlier start times when it's hot. Enforcing taking lunch during the contractual time frame. More paid breaks. Turn off Orion so people are digging less. How much cooler was it in the back of those package cars they painted white as a test? I don't think there is a one size fits all solution. AC could be a piece of the puzzle tho. It certainly isn't going to hurt.

How bout putting some of these weird things on the seats? The trucks battery can easily run the pump while the ignition is off

There's a lot of stuff to try. At least air conditioning is an attempt to address the problem. If it doesn't work let's keep at it.

It's like the thing you use after knee surgery but this pad goes over the seat instead of your knee.

Interesting, I think that would be more helpful than air-conditioning.It's like the thing you use after knee surgery but this pad goes over the seat instead of your knee.

They would have to actually provide enough ice for every driver. And it will probably melt part way thru the day and need to be replenished. Still, worth exploring.

We have tons of ice machines at facility now. The problem would be ice on route.

Need more in my building. On the hottest days the machines are empty by my start time. And there is another start time after me.

They just doubled the amount in my building. Really helps in the morning. but like I said, can’t do much when you’re on route late in the day.

I fill my gallon jug to the top with ice from the fountain at 711 on my way to work for 50¢. Pour more waters in as it gets empty. Then when I take lunch I fill it with ice from the fountain wherever I bought food at before I leave. No one ever says anything about it. But filling the cooler for that thing is a different story
