RIP

UPS doesn't allow people to use air conditioning?

If I was a relative I'd be talking to a lawyer for sure, no excuse to have people dying of heatstrokes.

that’s why ups rides with both doors open
There is no ac in their trucks just like usps
Now recently usps got pro masters which are like station wagons with ac but the majority of our vehicles still don’t have anything but a little fan that blows hot air in your face
You have to keep a fat boy towel in your cooler with a bunch of ice and place on your head every 15-30 minutes
Another thing about people saying to drink lots of water is you can over-hydrate yourself
I can’t tell you how many times in the past where I would drink tons of water and Gatorade
Get home and have monstrous headaches and peeing for hours
Through some reading your body needs caffeine and you have to balance shyt out
Food/bottle of water/bottle of Gatorade/something with caffeine/water/Gatorade/on and on
The problem is some carriers might just drink one of these drinks and neglect the others
Then just trying to find a place to relax for 10-15 mins out of the sun
But like I said in an earlier post
You might get paid for two 15/one 30
But these trash ass supervisor will be on your ass for it and wonder why you finish so late
That’s where IDGAF comes in handy and a lot of people are scared to do that because this is all they have but once you get them years in and see the sham this shyt is
You just do the bare minimum and give two shyts about supervisors

Smh damn, my boy starts with them in 2 weeks and is super excited but this nikka HATES the heat. Wont even come outside if its too hot. Wait till I tell him this shyt

RIP to dude. Must've been other issues. 90 degrees isn't that hot.

At least to us Texas follks. Gonnna be 104 every day this week.

Gotta stay hydrated regardless tho

 

[shopthatwrecks]

Maybe underlying conditions? Either way still gotta crush at least a gallon a day. I know it sucks having to drink a lot of water cuz ur driving alot and can't find a public bathroom but u gotta adapt and invest in a tactical pee bottle . That's that Humvee life

Don’t even really gotta crush a gallon

My union steward pretty much said my op coach said back in the gap

Strawberries peaches cucumbers apples

Has plenty of water ..snack on those all day

Wanna drink the ades gator n power

Get a empty bottle pour half ade m half water

Don’t even drink them hoe ass energy drinks fukk around n have a stroke

 

[whatthatthangsmelllike]

When I used to deliver in Florida I stayed with a couple of gallons of water cold

 

[Buckeye Fever]

People underestimate their water intake. Have to be drinking that shyt all day when working in the heat

I'm not even a water drinker and I'm on my 4th bottle of water today. I gotta work in this damn plant 10 hrs. I'm still gonna use the heat as an excuse to why I'm not doin a lot of work lol

Water & hats will save your life. I hated how those sun hats for men look, but I swallowed my pride and bought one after I had a severe migraine from mowing the yard in 95 degree heat. Now I wear one of these whenever I do yard work

mowing the grass lookin like this to your neighbors though

 

[Alix217]

ELECTROLYTES!!!!

Just drinking water aint enough

mowing the grass lookin like this to your neighbors though

Every man over here has some variation of the same hat.
