Are you a mechanic who loves doing what you do, but are faced with one, huge obstacle\u2026 the heat? Luckily for you, this article is going to go into what you can do to beat the heat. You want to do your job efficiently while also staying cool and comfortable. We at On the Road Truck Repair are here to help. \u00a0So how can we do that?<\/p>\n
SHADE HELPS TO BEAT THE HEAT<\/strong><\/p>\n Obviously, you can\u2019t show up to service a truck in a tank top and flip flops, so this article is here to tell you how you can stay cool\u00a0without<\/i>\u00a0losing your job. I have interviewed many employees from On The Road Truck Repair and I am going to share with you some of their suggestions. If you work at night, you don\u2019t have to worry about this first tip: taking breaks in a shady spot, so not to get too much sunlight exposure. Take it from Cordero Spencer, a highly trusted employee. \u201cFind a shady spot to take breaks if you have to, although we usually do work at night.\u201d TJ Morris agreed and said that he \u201cworks at night to beat the heat.\u201d<\/p>\n ICE IS GREAT<\/strong><\/p>\n Another employee \u00a0had the idea to always bring a cooler with ice. \u201cSometimes the yards even have coolers filled with ice for us; it\u2019s really nice.\u201d Another mechanic suggested he can beat the heat by bringing water and\/or Gatorade\u00ae \u00a0for a refreshing break. A suggestion from\u00a0lovefood.com<\/a>\u00a0is watermelon. \u201cWatermelon is the juiciest of fruits\u2026and even more refreshing than a cold can of fizz.\u201d Grab a wedge, chop it up, or puree it to drink.<\/p>\n PLAN YOUR LUNCH<\/strong><\/p>\n Here at On the Road Truck Repair, you are given $30 daily to buy food and water. Believe it or not, $30 dollars can go a long way to buy you a meal full of nutrients. This is what you need to keep you powered throughout the day. Don\u2019t just stop by a fast food chain \u2014 they won\u2019t sustain you for a full day of work. Instead, try looking out for proteins like cheeses or meats. Paleo Hacks suggests\u00a0zucchini noodles and shrimp<\/a>\u00a0tossed in a macadamia nut pesto sauce \u2014 easy to make and to transport.<\/p>\n
