Ask a Feeder Driver, Feeder Driver FAQ

the last 3-4 years I worked they were adding more and more jippos and we would file and file and file. looks like the company is wearing us down because it is getting out of hand.

their favorite come back was " we are here running a business and will do what we have to do."
ya , okay , but follow the rules and hire more Teamster drivers. I may have had some respect for some individual managers but over all had very little respect for UPS management as a whole.

Nothing to file on now, it's all legal with the new contract...

We have a bunch of sleepers coming in around here as well. Like you guys mentioned we can barely handle the workload now so I have no idea what they are going to do if they actually implement the added workforce.

You'll want the top bunk won't you?

We just got our first sleeper run ever, with more coming from what I’ve heard.

Chuck Norris and drive and sleep at the same time.

Thought it was only loads that were previously moved through rail?

No sleeper for me. Its too much man ass smell for too long of a period.

Agree. I could never do it. I could name 100 reasons why.

I get to ride with a female this week. It'll be all lavender and roses this trip.

Some like it some hate it. To each their own. I have to do it because I'm low on the totem pole. It has its advantages and disadvantages. The three day work week is a nice perk.

You get the really good man ass smell as soon as you walk in the men's room at Love's.

Protip: use a shower credit to get your own personal and clean bathroom, nothing like dropping the Cosbys off at the pool without hearing or smelling other men

Thank you and way ahead of you. I also bring my own soft toilet paper. The supplied sand piper on a roll is a problem.

The sleepers are supposed to be taking volume off of the rail and from the subcontractors, so it shouldn't necessarily add workload to the hubs- just more opportunities and work in Feeders. We're getting our arse kicked in time-in-transit so going to more linehaul makes sense.

Air freight? Sleeper run? Something doesn't add up here

 

[roofus backster]

I go to louisville, dulles, Philly and rockford, pickup stops, long the way!?

How many days out? How many miles?

Just curious how it compares to the runs we have.

Sounds like he might work for UPS Cartage

I’m heading your way to Rockford from Los Angeles.

Probably.

Our sleeper teams do not make pickups.

Anyone getting a stop contact dipatch immediately message when inbounding with two red X’s? Sick of having to call dispatch every time to get a door

Got one yesterday outbounding.

Here's the pic. Maybe @cheryl wants her red X back.
