Not as long as they are wearing their seat belts. You have to remember that most of these vehicles do not have A/C and the cab temperatures can reach 120+ degrees on a hot sunny day. |

Based on observation and what I've heard from people who work for UPS, drivers are under a lot of pressure. Speed is of the essence. You see them running frequently back and forth to the trucks.
Opening and closing the door every time eats up seconds, and those add up to minutes - something they're trying to avoid. |

Yes, it is dangerous. Obviously an open door is a potential entry point for all sorts of stuff, not least shrapnel created during a collision. What is less obvious to most is that opening a door also severely weakens structural integrity of the car in regard to collisions.
If it's too hot I'd say opening the windows should do the trick. I'm afraid open doors is mostly about speed, they can do the job faster if they don't have to open and close the doors all the time. And they probably don't wear seat belts either, for the very same reason. |
