It's absolutely ridiculous that UPS And USPS trucks have no air. A/C is effective no matter how many stops the truck makes.

absolutely, at least in the front where the driver sits. The doors can stay closed. This is horrible.

[@meredithmelton3953]

It may use more gas but at least they can cook off a few degrees and make it to the next stop

[@benwalker578]

I used to work for UPS and those trucks had NO AC in them! It was 105 degrees outside and 130+ degrees in the back of the truck! But, you had to stay on schedule. I quit that job the next week! No job is worth killing yourself over, and the Supervisor didnt care!

[@AngryCanine]

As someone who has experienced what it is like to have AC in a similar vehicle and making frequent stops and spending maybe at most a minute at a time inside, it makes all the difference. Sure, it may not get as hot as that often up here in Canada, but when it does, having that AC going feels extremely good coming out of that heat, and the AC works just fine when you keep the doors shut, never leaving them open for any reason, get in, close the door, get out, close the door, in back sorting packages, keep the door closed until ready to get out, and close the doors behind. To say having AC in those would be pointless is absurd. Anyone working in that sort of heat with no AC should get paid extra for having to suffer like that.

[@drewharrison1840]

100% j work for a large chain and do grocery delivery and it’s insulting to say many stops renders AC useless. One of the most ridiculous statements I have ever heard

[@kaylanestor3512]

The people saying it's pointless just shut in their air conditioned offices all day and have most likely drove one of "the boxes". They'd never know the difference it can make.

[@irishjug8208]

I own and operate a lawn care service for 20 plus years in Minnesota. I remember around this time it was as hot and dry here as the Sierra Desert was being reported. No rain for weeks and nothing but consecutive day after day of excessive heat warnings. Breaking all types of records. All types of water bans throughout the summer on using sprinklers on your lawn. Darn near took me out of business. The last two summers in Minnesota have been the Hottest/Driest in my 20 plus year career doing this. It seems very odd and i’m hoping this year will be cooler than the last two. One thing i recommend if you work outside in heat other than the obvious things. Get yourself a battery operated fan around your neck. I can’t live without them at work. 10-20 dollar fan saves lives. I have 4-5 on rotation.

I do package delivery by van and and air conditioning does not work with frequent stops we do. Ends up just eating up gas. So we balance it out with adjusting delivery times to early morning or early to late evening to make it tolerable. But that takes a lot greater planning and is still tough to do but that's the job.

[@LizzyGiggles]

@Jason Voorhees Even in England we have air con in all our vehicles. And it rarely gets hot here. (No one has aircon in their homes) The workers don't seem to have a choice but to work in those Van's with no air con. Which is just cruel in my opinion. Hydration wont stop you from getting heat stroke from being slow baked in a hot van unfortunately. The only reason they aren't putting air con in the Van's is to save money and thats really sad when its making their employees sick.
