Heat exhaustion/heat stroke is very real. I had heat exhaustion last year and it was horrible. I was sick for almost a week. I can’t even imagine how bad it was for the young man to pass away.

If he died in the dry heat in Cali then this southern humid heat would have straight melted him

One time I asked the UPS driver how hot it gets in his truck, he said easily over 100 degrees.

Just saw a guy in the gym who looked in pretty good shape almost collapse. Mans wasn't drinking nearly enough water.

Please tell me this dude is under 21
This fukked up everything. Now folks think everything is supposed to be on demand.That same day delivery for that useless item though
He’s probably gonna quit after the first week.
I tried working for ups as a truck unloader way back. I only lasted 3 days, the trailers were hot af.
Didn’t make it better that I had to walk 10 miles home after each shift. Told the job I hurt my back and never went back.
Where u get this hoe LlWater & 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
Lol I’ll cut the grass … car pass and quickly turn my head towards their way like the creeper .. slow walk to the truck while lookin at them lol
I was a 3am-9am package handler for ups like a month after graduating high school that shyt was trash but they paid every week

RIP to bro.
My boy has been driving for them since the month he hit 21. They work them hard. The best pay in the delivery industry by a country mile but they earn every bit of it. With the work load and the extreme heat, it just wouldn't be worth it to me. A lot of those guys and girls are somewhat trapped too. You're hard pressed to find a job that requires only a high school diploma and a clean driving record that pays 100k within four years of being on the job and offers union protection. UPS knows it too which is why their trucks are still prehistoric and the workload hasn't slowed down.
