Well I spent every day driving to and from college without actually. Was a constant reminder why I was going to college and not going to be a ups driver or whatever else.

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

Support. Not because I care about them getting AC but maybe it will help with the body odor. Our guy is ripe every time he walks in.

UPS requires its employees to buy their own trucks, UPS doesnt buy, repair, or maintain the vehicles, and the only restrictions are the type and size vehicle and of course the color and UPS decals, beyond that they are the ones who decide if it has a radio or air conditioning if they want it. i know both my UPS drivers and we talk all the time, i was shocked to learn they are required to buy their own trucks and are paid as a private contractor of sorts based on the number of packages delivered. that is fake and that guy isnt even a driver or he would know they buy their own trucks, just more fake outrage to sky scream about

You don't know what the frick your talking about. UPS drivers don't buy, repair or maintain their vehicles vehicles. As far as I know, only FedEx Ground uses that model.

I drove a package car in South Florida for 11 years before going into management. A/C in tha cabs wouln't do shite. Your too busy getting in an out every 3 minutes for the cab to cool down. Then what? Open and close the big heavy sliding door 2x each every time you arrive and leave a delivery or pick up stop? That's wear and tear on the shoulders. You'd also have put larger packages on the cab floor or ground outside every time you open or closed the door. That's wear and tear on your back and knees. The bigger problem is the package comaprtment. It has a translucent roof allowing light in and it is not ventilated. But routes are set up efficiently so that they just select the next pacage on the shelf and spend as little as time in the compartment. Any time you have to fine sort packages on a hot day, you have to open up the rear overhead door for airflow. No way UPS will ever be forced bt the IBT to cool the package compartments. The Teamsters know that money would come from the money that goes toward employee wages and the big kitty the Teamsters control - health, welfare and pension funds.
