Even outside the hottest US states, heat that delivery workers aren't used to can be dangerous. Several delivery driver deaths have triggered changes. In recent years, delivery drivers reporting heat-related illnesses were second only to construction workers, according to OSHA statistics reported by E&E News. The 2022 death of 24-year-old Esteban Chavez, a UPS driver in Southern California, made national headlines. But his death came less than a year before the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which represents UPS workers, began re-negotiating its contract with UPS.

Some UPS drivers have been hospitalized due to heat-related problems. "We're dying out here," one UPS driver told Insider at the time. In 2019, NBC News tallied 107 heat-related hospitalizations of UPS workers over a four-year period starting in 2015. At the time, UPS told Insider that it provided extensive training on how to deal with heat. But according to the agreement, all newly purchased small package delivery trucks in the US will have air conditioning starting next year.

☆ 'We're dying out here:' After death of 24-year-old UPS worker in his truck, family members, other workers renew calls for AC in trucks, warehouses

The death of 24-year-old Esteban Chavez Jr. has renewed calls from some employees for air conditioning on UPS trucks. New York UPS driver Ben Douglass told Insider that he and his local coworkers are concerned, and that union members are fighting for better safety all around. But according to Director of Media Relations Matthew O'Connor, UPS delivery trucks don't have air conditioning because the frequent stops would render it "ineffective." The company's warehouses also lack air conditioning because the buildings' large overhead dock doors are frequently open, which would make AC ineffective there, too, O'Connor said. One UPS driver who wished to remain anonymous for fear of repercussions expressed his desperation for air conditioning inside his truck.
