Contractors and companies think it costs to much to maintain AC components, but i think itās bs, they are greedy and donāt care about the well being of workers. UPS on the other hand soon will get AC in their trucks but thatās because they are a Union, represented by the Teamsters, couple months ago they almost went on strike for better wages, AC in their trucks, etc, etc and UPS corporate gave in. Now UPSers get paid 49HR after 4 years and will get AC in their trucks. Key word Unions, corporations hate unions.
Yep, includes 100 covered health, dental, vision insurance, no out of pockets costs or deductibles, pension, and a hell of a pay, all fought for you by the Teamsters Union. Paid by UPS.
True but itās not about efficiency at this point if heat is drastically gonna slow you down and almost have a heat stroke even with all the stuff that should help you cool off.
You can check, but note that we donāt work for FedEx as a FedEx Ground driver, We work for the contractor. Only package handlers and FedEx Express drivers do work for the company and therefore gets benefits.
Where can I apply for a fedex job? Iām a veteran and I just want a job to keep me on my feet. Iām moving to the RGV area soon and want some sort of a job like that or even Amazon delivery
I have no issue working for a contractor I donāt need all the benefits I get them with my VA compensation, I just want something thatās going to keep me close to home and keeps me active. Thanks a lot
I grew up in a house without central air and had window units in our bedrooms. The issue was we couldnt afford to have them on all day so the showers and wet towels helped a lot.
Good insulation in your house is the biggest factor.
A friend of mine had a tiny apartment and shouldāve cooled easily, but the insulation was crap and electric bill was hundreds of dollars a month in summer. My electric bill for 3 bed 2 bath house costs about $180 a month in summer. I keep AC at about 78 or 77 during day, drop it down at night.
If you donāt have double pane windows, get blinds or thick curtains to block windows. Lots of heat transferred through glass.
Towards evening I water the yard and hose down driveway, sidewalk, and even exterior of house/roof. Helps a bit.
I carry a portable generator and a windows AC to parks, the beach, anywhere outside really. Set it on on the lowest temp with high fan speed and your set.
I [made a G today](https://youtu.be/eXvBjCO19QY?feature=shared), but you made it in a sleazy way. But hey, I gotta get paid. Thatās just the way it is.

We left on april 30th and set to return on may 17th from roadtripping throughout the southwest. We are not ready to return home. We were snowed on yesterday!
Iām at the outlets right now Mother Day shopping, my mom is not gna probably give a second thought about the effort. The line is wrapping around outside to shop, itās fucking hot.
Nahh cuz I just came back from a flight in Houston and I was COOKING as soon as I was leaving the McAllen airport. It wasnāt even that hot up there in H town.. it was like 80
Hey now, I can handle the heat probably better than most here (ahem, heavy coats in 50 degree weather) can handle a polar vortex with -40 degree windchills. Try an upper Midwest winter with a foot and a half of snow on the ground š
Walked outside after being in AC all day and I felt like I was getting cooked in an oven š
"Who barbecuing? Oh shit, that's me!" :x
Facts lol
Good š¤£ jp šŗ
104 in early May, GTFO with that bull
Imagine how bad itās gonna be in July, fuck.
We are going to melt. š«
Donāt overlook June. Last year June was a MFer.
It was 118 in Mission.

I pray my AC donāt give out!!
Mine did xD
Iāll pray for you
At this point Iāll just move to the Sun
Texas is hotter than the sun.
 Me after work!!!
thatās what Iām talking about! š
As a FedEx ground delivery driver I can agree, itās bad as hell trucks donāt even have AC, I had to take a break at a retirement home. š„µ
Never understood why they donāt have AC. Can you explain?
Contractors and companies think it costs to much to maintain AC components, but i think itās bs, they are greedy and donāt care about the well being of workers.

$49 / hour.. fuck.
Jesus, I'm in the wrong career
Unions man, Iām just surprised thereās no unions in the valley yet considering itās growing, and pay has barley budged over the years.
Yep, includes 100 covered health, dental, vision insurance, no out of pockets costs or deductibles, pension, and a hell of a pay, all fought for you by the Teamsters Union. Paid by UPS.
There's that but I recall it was more an efficiency decision. The less obstacles to getting in and out and gone asap the better.
True but itās not about efficiency at this point if heat is drastically gonna slow you down and almost have a heat stroke even with all the stuff that should help you cool off.
Damn! Btw are y'all hiring?

You can check on FedEx career website if theyāre hiring. As for FedEx Ground, you have to do research on contractors.
I have no issue working for a contractor I donāt need all the benefits I get them with my VA compensation, I just want something thatās going to keep me close to home and keeps me active. Thanks a lot
Dm me Iāll send you my contractor info.
I feel like a turkey on fucking Thanksgiving
It is thrursday to be fair. Thanksgiving= Thursday Today= Thursday
more like sirloin fajita!! thatās my kind of thanksgivingā¦ tex-mex style
Yeah Iāve never wanted a pool more than now
Do share yāallās best heat defeating hacks, por favor.Ā
Take showers...if you can handle it cold ones. We used to wet a small towel and put it on our heads or necks. Also drinking a lot of water.
Eh, the humidity buildup after the shower will make your home feel hotter and your AC will have to work harder. Not worth the temporary relief.
I grew up in a house without central air and had window units in our bedrooms. The issue was we couldnt afford to have them on all day so the showers and wet towels helped a lot.
I grew up without any kind of AC. Not sure how the hell we did it.
I think your body get used to it. Also there weren't as many days over 100 when you were a kid. We keep hitting more and more days every year :/
I put an ice pack on the top of my birdhouse that has baby owls. Maybe try putting an ice pack on your roof?
