Drivers like my husband are at incredibly high risk during summer months, when temperatures in their trucks can climb to 180 degrees. As a result, they can face dehydration and heat stroke, which can have life-threatening consequences.”
I am certainly sympathetic to the UPS drivers, but I just have an issue with making it so one sided without performing due diligence. I would have to believe that all mail carriers would install AC in every truck if that would have been necessarily. If this petition would have been a debate, I would expect to see more facts. Does FedEx, USPS have AC in all of their trucks? Is issue limited to just states where it gets really hot like Arizona? Are there compensating controls like fans or open windows that can be an alternative? Is there a medical opinion or study on this?
It will be good to hear both sides of this debate.
I would agree that if there is enough support for this side then it should be legally regulated. Just the facts aren’t clear.

Aside from this notion, it is, of course, bizarre that in 2018 the biggest delivery service in the US still features non-air-conditioned vehicles; in fact, it is strange that such vehicles exist at all nowadays. I am in support of an awareness campaign, coupled with the truckers publicly voicing their stance on the matter, which will eventually urge UPS to modernize their vehicle fleet in order to keep attracting investors.
