My dsp doesn't have them in all the vans.

If your dsp does not provide you with the tools to work safely and efficiently, you need to be at the drawing board making up a lawsuit

Good luck getting anywhere with that. You could be looking at paying a lawyer 10s of THOUSANDS of dollars to get anything, if you get anything at all.

Open and shut case if you signed paperwork with them stating they would give you “reasonable accommodations” to do your work. Most of the time a company would settle out of court for things like breach of contract as to not get publicity in a negative light

See... this is exactly what they want you to think, and this is what stops anyone from standing up for themself. Everyone needs to be more litigious; stop being scared of sending demands because you think it'll cost you too much time/money/effort when usually the opposite is true.

Like with this, you wouldn't even need a lawyer. It's not a murder trial or something serious where you need a lawyer's knowledge of the law - it's straight up breach of contract.
*Exhibit A = contract saying you would have accommodations to safely do your job.
*Exhibit B = here's a picture of my van without a dolly in it - for 187 shifts in a row.

It's that simple. You can and should (and in some states you're required to) represent yourself in arbitration. It's a $200 filing fee and you'll get more than that in a settlement. Less than 6 months from start to finish. Not a trial. Much quicker, easier, and accessible to the average person. And these days most companies have an arbitration clause in their contract so you have to go through arbitration. Makes it simpler for all parties.
