How early do you guys start when working on the fleet lots?

I have been starting up in the summer at around 5:30 or so on the lots to beat the heat if I have a lot of cars to do.
Tomorrow I have 3 cars with chips and 4 H-L's on one lot and I am going to hit the lot about 5:00 am to beat the heat. or even sooner if I set my wifes 3:30 alarm.

I normally pre-inspect the lots and get approval, then come back the next early morning. It may be costing me gas to come back, but it is better that having to take the time to cool the W/S down and or take the chance of having one spread from the heat.

I don't mind working retail under what shade we have in AZ, but I am not going to stand in the sun on a car lot when the sales staff stands in the A/C building watching me.:eusa_snoo :eusa_snoo :eusa_snoo

It is only 101 today. Just think what the glass is in the sun.

You are right. Heat is Heat. But the dry heat sucks, No tanning, just burning.
Then we {removed by moderator} when the monsoons come and it gets humid and we sweat to death...

Anyone have any cheese for the whining? It better be Wisc. Cheese.... Cheese Curds.
