Anyone REGRET going to feeders?

[Jones]

Dont be hatin' Jones!

I can't really complain, I could have been in your position if I had been willing to make the commute to Burmd. Price for staying at my building is a longer wait.

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Nope

I now have a permanent position, and a DAY run. My only regret is that I didn't do it 10 years ago.

So I am wondering: besides driving issues, what could a feeder driver get fired for?

Will attempt to get permit this Saturday, begin training sometime in Sept/Oct.

Same cardinal sins as package.

​Congrats if you get in. Save what made you safe enough to get here. Throw the rest away.

Good luck!

You might want to get in asap. Today they showed us a new tractor at PCM that has collision avoidance, following distance radar with brake intervention, lane drift avoidance, side traffic avoidance,etc.

If they can teach a monkey to turn the key we're out of a job.

LOL...I'm lucky if I get one where the dashboard is still in one piece!

I wonder if those are the LNG Macks...???!!!

Gotta love this new proliferation of technology in vehicles to make up for poor driving skills.

Feeder boo boo #1....missed my exit on the PA turnpike ... only lost about 40 minutes tho...figured it out almost as soon as I drove past it!

Mehh, just do like all the others do I share the road with, and make a mad dash across four lanes to the exit.

A Gulf war laser guided missile couldn't have hit that on the head any better. Kudos.

Mack twin screw, diesel. We won't get LNG's any time soon although we would be a perfect area for development with all city driving.

I couldn't stand the hours. If I could have gotten a route that started at 1 or 2pm I think I could adjust. I could still get home and sleep at night but anything later was brutal. Driving home with the morning sun in my eyes afters 11-12 hour 8 pull run killed me. I missed my Friday nights and Saturday's. You don't go back until Monday night but you still feel like you only get 1 1/2 day weekends. I might go back when I can get a better route but even when I get over 30 years the pickings are slim. It 3rd shift work. BTW the winters up north here sux too.

I don't know if they still do it, but they use to have a daytime run out of our center in Dover that a guy named Wayne * use to have that involved picking up and delivering from a tractor trailer combo. Don't know if it was considered a feeder run as such.

They said that about PAS and some(most) preloaders still can't get packages in the right car.

We have a feeder run to Arundel Mills mall. Feeder driver brings trailers to the mall then helps package driver with pickups....he even gets a DIAD....

Ok, if they can get a smart monkey to turn a key we're out of a job.

Hey man, no need to get personal...I try to shave my back, but I can only get so much.

 

[you aint even know it]

Don't see what's so hard about sitting on your butt all day and driving.
