Tractor Under-Utilization sucks

[mikejones234]

My dignity is not tied to air conditioning in a tractor.

P.S. I drove in the city for 17 years before my first AC unit so I don't have a lot of sympahty.

just because you drove for 17yrs with no ac, doesnt mean that all of us will.

maybe you whiners would rather be sitting at home in the a/c instead of working.or how bout being bummed up in the hospital sick as hell.....they have real good a/c in hospitals.those boys in iraq and afghanistan arent real comfortable either.and frankly sirs ,you are no better than they are.

Go work otr for less money.then you will hace ac!!

maybe we all should write actions to get generators put on the trucks, so we can keep them cool why we are in the trailer.

I've gotten used to it, i look at it like a good sweat gets all the toxins out all day, maybe i'll never get sick....as i hear all around about other companies giving pay cuts and etc, i'm just happy to be working still...

No AC unit i feel bad for you

I found a battery operated fan in walmart one time not sure how much use it will do.

I drove an old twin screw mack with no a/c or power steering for my first six years at Southeasten. Be thankful for what you have it could be worse.

I think all of our units have A/C ...and if one goes down they're prompt on getting it repaired. The big thing was getting rid of those underpowered C uints. I can't complain one bit.

I gotta say dawg biscuit...it is the same at my barn too...they are pretty good about maintaining the trucks. I just hope we get some newER trucks in. Most of our city guys have newER trucks,but I drive a linehaul truck because there are not enough city trucks to go around,which is fine with me,I like the a/c and it has cruise! :-) I think we will see better overall improvements in vehicles and maybe even more a/c's when the economy picks back up. More than likely being thrifty right now...of course I am speculating ,only been with this company here for 3 months..so. I drove for another LTL for 9 years though,so I am not a newbie to the freight industry.
