    I'm a card carrying member of the Air Conditioned Wimps of America. The most I will do in a work truck is drive it to the shop or 1 day with no A/C. I'm not sleeping in it or driving the second day without A/C.

    ....ever lay fresh asphalt ?? As long as the tires hold and the plant runs , your running. Yea, it's hot and it's no fun now , but five months it'll be Christmas and snowing.

    that wasn’t true where I hauled…. They often cut a job in real hot weather because the crews couldn’t take it….
