UPS Driver Collapses at Front Door From Severe Heat 

That made me upset. If anything happens to him, they will replace him

Exactly!!!

FedEx had the same response when some WS in Mississippi harassed a driver at gunpoint

@@orangeguitar3364 no it’s not also who wth would care if it copied this is serious

Covering Up The Truth!!!

Exactly !…pathetic

It has nothing to do with the cost of gas or buying vehicles with a/c. It has everything to do with maintenance . These vehicles have to be pulled out of service to maintain and replacements have to be available. These guys make $35/hr and know what their getting into. I should know, I did it 15 years. If you can't run with the big dogs, stay in the hub. You have to start hydrating the night before and then all day. Water and Salt will save your life!

@@sonnyduckworth7881 it's the same way with me laying asphalt all day we don't have ac and the Matt is 300 degrees when we lay it drink water pickle juice or pediealite for cramps and

Right??? Doors exist.

yeah, it was all a show for the camera

Please. Shows you're a keyboard warrior. Probably never even went outside during the summer let alone actually worked. Turn your AC off when it gets about 100° then you'll have an idea@@bill-nj6fc

UPS is union, he was probably fine

Was this actually confirmed to be a show? I did package delivery and was in a very similar situation so it's believable to me. I had a legit near death experience and called dispatch to quit as soon as I regained consciousness. @@bill-nj6fc

He was I work with him

Damn that's really sad. I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔 🙏

not in the eyes of ups XD

I’m sorry for your loss 🙏

"He's FINE" lol

They don’t just hire drivers. They’ll pick the next most senior warehouse worker who wants the role. And trust me, they do not want to be in that warehouse all day, it’s basically a giant ups truck

*thats why u need to work smart and not hard. be your own boss and have multiple stream of incomes. never have to listen to a boss ever in ur life. now how u achieve that, its up to u to discover.*

Hopefully they hire someone that knows you need to drink 3-4 liters of water, per day, if you want to work in this heat. Hopefully the new guy doesn’t drink coffee or energy drinks.

Should of went to college

I’ve worked there for 6 years I can confirm it’s that bad.

Absolutely!

Exactly! I saw that response and was like "wtf????"

I wouldn’t doubt that UPS is going to find a reason to let him go in the future for giving them bad publicity. Those jobs they’ll work you to death and hire the next man on death row

What did you want, a suit telling everyone on live tv that the man had been thoroughly examined by a doctor, and declared fit and well? Violate the man's privacy and health information just for YOUR curiosity?

Breaks over, get back to work

I know! It’s never been like this! Hot in the summer and cold in the winter! We have to stop driving cars and cull all the cattle because they fart. We have to pay more taxes and eat bugs now because of this new situation of hot summers and cold winters.

Winter isn’t as bad as heat though. :/

I'm so sorry you all go through this.

Then dont do it.

You should stay hydrated to beat the heat 🔥👍

What they mean is its expensive to install AC in all their vehicles and they'd rather have workers die than do that.

I create entertaining videos as well 🤠

Right, in a situation like this the driver can't even find spot to cool off so it would be much safer and boost the morale of the drivers to have a cool air conditioned truck they can use to cool off momentarily as go to their next stop.

@@blitheringrando1410 Yes, not only to install it but also to maintain it. It costs a negligible amount of extra gas to run those things, don't you know!

Trying to save money at workers' detriment. UPS would be classified as a "black" company in many countries.

Imagine 130 in the back box trucks 😂 im in AZ

@@IvanGoldBit sheesh. Yeah it got up to 105 the other day then back of the truck was easily 120 lol I couldn’t handle Arizona heat

Uh yeah lol, if he doesn't deliver it he will get fired and then he won't have insurance to see the doctor about the heat stroke he just had.

When you have bills to pay and no option, you have no choice.

@cmd just tryig its ups, they don't buy their own brown trucks. The trucks don't have AC. The sort facility where they load, unload and sort packages don't have heat or AC either (for the most part).

nah actually he shouldnt go back to his car to keep driving. would you still respect him if he ran over someone you love or crashed into your car cause he had heat stroke?

@@monsterglacier 300 stops for how many hrs? If it’s 8 hr shift, that would be about 1 minute 40 sec per stop. Unless co let you do OT but even 10 hr shift is like 2 minutes per stop. And that’s without breaks and lunch.

My dad was a driver for YEARS in the Valley in Southern California. He remembers the heat very well! I remember in his truck he had four little portable fans attacked inside, that did basically nothing. He also admitted to leaving the back open A CRACK sometimes to get the air flow going. This was back in the 80's/90's so you could never get away with it today! SO Sorry bro! Get into management ASAP! 😉

There is a difference between having to speed mars 20 miles with 45 kgs on your back in 40 degrees or having to walk 20 meters with a 0,5 kg package. This dude went down because he didn’t take care of himself not because he was pushed over his limit.

@@sticks_studiosHQ Well, instructions on how to recognize and deal with it obvious. One other thing is after an excersize, everybody has to turn over their water bottle. If you have way more water come out than the rest, you get yelled at. After I passed to the reserves that happened to me twice, I forget to drink when I'm busy. And yes that has messed with me on a few occasions. We had a patrol during deployment where I was dehydrated. I'd drank a lot when I realised, but you don't undo dehydration in half an hour or so. Spent most of that afternoon battling the tendency to vomit and trying not to pass out.

@kobusvandenbrink1679 That’s the fun part, he’d probably get reprimanded/fired if he took the time to take care of himself. Gotta keep efficiency up after all.

Yeah I don’t care if they think the a/c is ineffective, that cold air blowing out still makes a difference, and they should supply a free cooler, free waters and ice at the beginning of their shift.

Then do something about it

And those on the road with them.

@@underwrldproductions exactly, I won't

I'm a multi drop driver and it's true what they say about the AC. A stop can take me 30 seconds by the time I've turned the engine off then hop back in its warm again. Thats 25 degrees or 77 fahrenheight. Must be even more inefffective at 110.

That should take priority more then Jail.

They should go on strike.

So do the warehouses. UPS doesn't care!

It doesn’t help if you don’t drink enough water.. and how do u plan to keep the truck cool if he needs to go out every minute it’s to much stress for the body to deal with ice cold and hot air…

They dont care. It's all about money. I was a preloader for years and if you turned the belt off they would immediately turn it back on without question. You could have your head stuck in the gears and they would just turn it back on. I tore ligaments in my back unloading a 54 footer one morning and the supervisor was mad that my production for the day was down even though I finished unloading the truck and finished my shift.

my brother is a driver and was written up for drinking water.... UPS care about money more than anything.

A lawsuit will fix all this. If corporate greed won't allow for them to care about their workers, there will be consequences to pay. Makes me livid.

Maybe that's why they don't understand the pain because they have a cold heart 😒

hes fine

Plus you have to stick to your route and not take bathroom breaks!! Their drivers needs to drink like crazy and cool off periodically in that kind of heat. 🥵

He’s fine, else he’ll be fined. And as long as UPS is making money, he’s fine, regardless of whether he’s fine.

same for USPS drivers. My uncle works for them, it sucks the conditions they work in.

Riding in a hot truck plus the exertion of delivering not only packages but sometimes heavy items is unthinkable. UPS absolutely needs to do more to protect workers…I’ve refrained from ordering grocery delivery this week because of the heat where I am and it’s *only* 92-93 degrees

I know I, for one, would never have known.

I did know, but it's good someone spoke out and there is a news report that will make it more widely known; totally disgusting and unacceptable

For the record the inside ups workers don't have air condition either. If it's 100 degrees outside it feels like 110 inside.

I’Ve worked for them for 2.5 years and we begged for AC and refuse. They said if our truck is cool then that’s time wasted from delivering a package because instead of trying to keep cool they rather us burn up and suffer to deliver packages. UPS can’t keep working because of the harsh conditions

I mean its pretty obvious they dont have it, not trying to be rude but its also pretty well known.

It's not the heat. It's the vaccine.

Thats true

Oh yeah.. correct.

The fact that he can’t avoid heat exhaustion despite being trained how to shows me he is barely fit to drop off packages

And they can take a break, and they might not need a break if the can account for a couple seconds to the open and close door

"air conditioning isnt effective" is such a lie. If you live where its hot you know that just having the AC blowing on you makes a huge difference, even if the cab stays 120 degree. Not to mention they dont offer any means of cooling. They could also add fans and misters to the trucks; but they dont because they dont care about the drivers.

I believe some new tesla model X have cooling built directly into seats. If they can do that then it should be mandatory for working vehicles like ups.
