This has got to be tough but man up son!
Sous-vide anyone?

A state representative is calling for improvements in postal workers’ “deplorable” working conditions seeing a mail carrier demonstrate how hot mail trucks get by cooking a steak on his dashboard.
Shawnna Bolick, a member of the Arizona House of Reps. (District 20), sent a letter to the president of the American Postal Workers Union, Mark Dimondstein on Thursday, urging him to look into the heat-related issue. In her letter, she explained how a worker had sent her daily updates, and photographs of a digital thermometer and the cooking steak, to show how hot his truck gets.
quote:
“Over the past several weeks, his mail delivery truck has averaged about 128 degrees Fahrenheit inside his vehicle,” the letter reads. “This past weekend he conducted an experiment and cooked a steak to an internal temperature of medium (142 degrees) not fully thawed at 10am on his dashboard from 10am until 12:30pm.”

All construction work must be inhumane.

If it’s 128° in his vehicle, there’s no way the steak is getting to 140°+.

bullshite.
I call bullshite in this. If his car is moving at all during the day with windows open, there is no way it gets that unbearably hot.
I’m not saying it can’t get that hot, but once the vehicle is moving, heat transfer happens. It’s science

Dash board may be hotter
Meat increases in temp as it rests

Breaking news: When its 115 degrees in Arizona in August, metal boxes (cars) get hot.
In other news the sky has changed colors yet again from blue to black back to blue. Scientist believe the sky is racist and doing blackface. US citizens to be taxed to sue the sky.

He didn’t get a good sear on that. Needs to point the dash towards the sun and roll up the windows, and start grilling around 3pm.

These poor postal carriers have to drive around in heat why all roughnecks have it made easy and my concrete workers are constantly in AC.
This is the problem- where do you draw the line?
It’s gets hot in Arizona in August. Toughen up man.

We have become a nation of pansies. This guy needs to get a job framing or roofing houses. He'll be begging for his hot truck back.

A lot of whining but not offering any solutions.
Posted on 8/6/19 at 6:11 am to Bamboozles
If you don't want to drive in the truck, I assume it would be okay to instead walk with your mailbag to all of your customers.

Back in my day we’d have killed to have a steak for Lunch.
We had to eat clay balls, and the mine owners would deduct the amount of clay we ate from our wages.
That’s where the term “ballers” comes from, the folks over in Shelbyville were jealous because they only had sand in their mines to eat for breakfast....

If the steak was sitting in the Sun getting radiant heat in addition to the ambient cab temp of 128* then its possible.

but that 100% retirement after 2 months is totally worth it.

Arizona? It’s a dry heat it’s not even hot
Why didn’t this guy roll down the window if he was hot?

Wonder if he used salt and pepper or added some other spices?

Pretty sure they don’t have AC because it’s not good for you to go in and out of AC all to the heat all day? I thought I’ve seen drivers say that but I could be wrong.

Let’s all of us take vacation from our jobs and work for the postal service in Arizona for a week.
We could rotate out during the year. Then we could all get a small retirement from the post office. They would not need the person cooking the steak in their vehicle. Problem solved while OT parties.
We could serve margaritas, cook fajitas, and take 4 hour lunches at that beer brewery place that serves craft beer in Tempe I believe.
We could even have the character that played Norm the postman from the TV show, Cheers show up as a guest star.
It would be a true week of partying while delivering mail.
We could even probably get a game of golf in.
