    Sometimes you buy a chocolate bar and can tell when you open it that it had already melted at one time and has cooled and reformed to the packaging.

    I'm originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil... and tolerate heat pretty well... Used to work for a mega that had an idle policy, no more than 30% which would be about 2 hrs a day... Sometimes I would live inside the truck with temp of about 110 F... I'm so glad now working for another company that has a good working Thermoking APU... But I don't use A/C much.... the fan is good enough... Now I'm in IL.... it was hot and humid outside today... But I spent some time cleaning trailer tires' rims... and was fine... Now using the fan cause this A/C blows too cold air...

    Plenty of trucking jobs in Alaska. I'm just the opposite; moved from Tennessee to Southern Nevada because Tennessee is too cold in the winter.

    I dont blame you. I traveled the New England area (Maine MA and NH) in July the people up there complain its hot when the temp was around 80 and no humidity with a coastal breeze. I laughed at the shipper and said "You think this is hot" This is considered late winter early spring in Georgia. Just imagne how it feels during July espically when its so humid you have a slight chance of having your AC freeze on you. Its not just hot weather either one day it will be F4 Tornado the next 3 days we are in the path of a catagory 5 hurricane. It CAN be dangerous too live in GA.
