I watched that vid. They said because of frequent stops they can't put AC in the vans. Package delivery is a tough job, especially in hot states. I feel bad for that guy, looks like heat stroke for sure.

Difficult to say if it's not vax related.

I usually think they are all about making useless rules to validate the jobs. OSHA needs to fix this with even portable mounted AC's in the trucks. Not for the drivers comfort, because if that guy passes out driving then anyone in the trucks path is dead or if he passes out and falls out of the moving truck since he was so out of it he forgot the seatbelt.

This is a huge safety issue for the public. The real reason they don't have AC's is because of costing more gas, profit fucking margins so let the drivers die or kill someone unintentionally. If a driver passes out from heat the people that the truck kills, their families will be raking in a lot of cash from the lawsuit showing UPS's CHEAPNESS was the entire reason that the guy passed out driving, now that the man showed dangerous temps of 120F over 20 degrees higher than inside.

These trucks are also iceboxes. Hell combines on farms are more userfriendly then these prison heat boxes they punish their workers with.

Laying block or framing on 135°+ concrete slabs in Arizona ain’t any better. Monsoon season is even worse with the added humidity. You can’t drink enough water throughout the day. Your clothes are soaked through and through and you can just about pour sweat out of your boots at the end of the day. You come home exhausted. Seen lots of guys have a heat stroke. Once you have one, it’s easy to have more thereafter. I’d say the guy had himself a mild heat stroke there. As bad as it is for construction workers there I gotta think it’s even worse for the road workers. So glad I don’t have to do that shit anymore!

It's bull shit that these temperatures haven't been reached before. Back in the 30's and again in the early 60's we had some hellish hot summers... people are retarded.

On top of it all, the majority of people didn't have air conditioning, and instead would sleep outside... I'm old enough to remember the hot summer in the 60's and sleeping out under a makeshift tent.

around 1990 I remember a record setting summer, over 3 weeks 100f in continental US and Alaska reached 100F 2 weeks straight.

I was just talking about that summer today. I went on a road trip to Florinda, and cars were just catching fire, I saw more than half a dozen burning cars along the trip.
