Be prepared to see the doors closed down the UPS trucks while they're on the road.

UPS drivers are closer to staying cool.

It's about to get less sweaty in those iconic brown trucks because apparently now UPS

has reached a tentative deal with the union representing its drivers to include an AC

and package delivery vehicles.

Now that starts January 1st, 2024.

Air conditioning has been a major sticking point in negotiations between the company and

the teamsters representing 340,000 UPS workers.

Union members are expected to authorize a strike if there's no final deal by the time their

current contract expires on July 31st.

I mean, that's a pretty big deal.

UPS estimates that 6% of the U.S. gross domestic product gets transported in its trucks.

I mean, they average what 24 million packages per day last year.

It seems like a lot to me.

It just seems like a lot.

So it'll be the first time UPS will be required to equip the company's package car vehicles

and they say in the story, recognizable.

Yeah.

You know what a UPS truck is, which make up about 95% of its delivery fleet, those delivery,

those package trucks with air conditioning first time ever with air conditioning.

So it said that it would send the new vehicles to the hottest parts of the U.S. first when

possible.
