Difficult to answer without more information.
One possible scenario is..

The thermostat is stuck open or been removed. Engines under significant load are using more gas and thereby producing more excess heat.

Examine the vehicle for sufficient coolant and verify that the coolant can flow thru the engine, hoses, radiator and heater hoses. Check the fan belt for proper tension. Be suspect of any leaks...
