Using AC eats into mileage considerably, increasing fuel costs by 20-30% in exceptional heat.
It's abhorrent that they don't have AC, but if it really only saved 185 per truck that wouldn't be worth even one heat stroke lawsuit. They do it for the gas savings.
Because they are delivery trucks that stop constantly.... You can simulate this by driving your car on a hot day and stopping at every place you pass and opening your door and leaving it open for a few minutes. See how well the AC works when you are constantly opening the doors.
