Aged 24....I wonder, was he vaxxed ???

[Wipou]

How many vaccines did he have? All of these sudden deaths need to be tracked against vaccination status.

has nothing to do with the truck not having a/c

My sincere condolences 🙏 I work for DHL EXPRESS and they make sure all our trucks have air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter. My heart is broken hearing this sad news. 😔🥺

Could be the heat? Could be the vax?? RIP💔

[smaharg]

Rest In Peace my union brother.. so sad..

[pita]

poor kid, these UPS drivers work hard, they have deliveries to complete every day, they dont get the respect they deserve, they get abused by neighbors and get paid crap.

[wywyb]

No air conditioned trucks, small fans, no decent air ventilation. Ups will take no responsibility for this claiming "we tell our drivers to properly hydrate, and give tips and tricks to stay cool, we have safety meetings daily and send messages out daily on proper diet and hydration, we offer electrolyte mixes and blah blah blah..." they could atleast pay for the services. No family should have to burden the expense of death on the job funerals.

[JT-nuoi]

one question was he totally vaccinated?, so sad I used to unload them 40'-45 foot trailers in the heat back in the day 😡🥵🥵

[magic_fruit_bat]

This is normal working as a UPS. Driver, and sorting inside the company. It’s very difficult work!

[eme]

Rip Esteban. I also love my job as a delivery driver. You were too young😞

[ericsj]

Water iS LiFE yall, i don't know anyone who drinks nearly enough water.

[joydarling]

It's hot outside. If you see a person that looks in need of water offer them a drink.

[northernconfederate]

They can upgrade the trucks air conditioning would not work but fan's in the truck an netting so backdoor can stay open for air flow sad but they been driving them trucks with out air conditioning since UPS started in business
