Ask a Feeder Driver, Feeder Driver FAQ

[SaladTosser]

For a feeder bid, if you make dispatch does that mean having to cover sleeper routes too?

If you’re in Southern California, yes you can be forced when there are no other options to bid on.

Get some lined gloves with a cuff, a flashlight (might be nice to have a headlamp for training) and bring a Bandanna to wipe 5th wheel grease off of your face or arms...you will get that stuff everywhere the first few weeks, I mean years.

Nothing like that awesome dry grease that won't just wipe off by normal means.

Make sure to wipe the grease off on all door handles and the steering wheel. The other drivers will love you for it.

That and put about 500 miles on it and park it in tractor parking and not at the pumps. That’s the next guy’s problem.

Nothing like getting that stuff on your face and legs…I use to always wear pants but finally said friend it and mostly wear shorts unless it’s winter…a few more years and I’m out so irdgaf

If I was going to run into my tractor partners start time or be within 15 minutes I would fuel it and do a quick wash on it…other drivers would just park it and not even tell a carwasher about it needing washed asap.. seriously, drivers absolutely notice if you try to make an effort or are just a total d bag…and word gets around fast either way.

You get paid by the friend* hour. Wash the damn windshield and park it at the pumps. If you are running short on hours, park it at the pump anyway and let your co-driver know the windshield needs a wash. Have some damn pride in your work.

I’ll even take a Clorox wipe to the steering wheel, dash, door handle, etc…after I’m through for the day. it takes only 30 seconds and it’s amazing how many drivers don’t even do that… seems pretty basic

 

[olroadbeech]

Washed my tractor before every shift and after every shift .even out of hours during snow days because did not want to be one of those lazy drivers.

30 min OT minimum every day.

Professional Driver.

They may have changed things since I retired, but we had PT carwash/fuelers who were supposed to clean the tractors after filling the tanks. Management threated us with termination for stealing time if we fueled, washed, etc. I shared tractors with the same guy for years. We worked out between us what was to be done over and above.
