Do you think this is a temporary position for peak? I was told that it was a permanent feeder gig, unless that's bull

If they told you it's permanent, it probably is. They don't usually
with you in feeder, package pretty much has the market cornered for false job promises.

My first 3 years in feeders, I went back to package on January 1st. First year, 10 months, second year, about 6 months, and the third year, 2 months. Never went back after that.

They sweep trailers or work in the hub.
Any shop stewards in here?
I’ve been approached about being a shop steward for our feeder department as it continues to grow. I did decline because of I am new to the position and that I felt I would have more questions than answers when approached by other drivers. It’s something I may pursue later in my career and I’m curious what that role involves, how difficult it may be working with drivers on other hours and locations, and if there are any benefits to being a steward. Ex. I’m sure it varies by local, but I know in package our stewards had super seniority and got first picks at bid time.

Here.....nothing special(at all) as far as job picks. If you are on duty when the employee friend's up...you may or may not get the duty as representation. It may be a new part timer clerk that has no idea of what you do. Let that sink in.....a lot of stewardships get awarded by cronyism and even skin color.....as well as political paybacks. The best people for the job? Hardly. Like being a Safety Co-chair.....just a way to pad hours....No? You bet.

If done right, stewardship and safety are thankless jobs. The good ones define true service.

You smell that?
At least you're consistently miserable.

whoever approached you about being a stew doesnt like you.
it's a thankless job
seriously, you do need some more time under your belt and have to be a special person of toughness and integrity.
I suggest you ask and hang out with the best steward feeder has now and learn from him/her.
