Ask a Feeder Driver, Feeder Driver FAQ

[averageguy14]

no, feeders does not have 9.5

We currently have around 370 drivers and that number is growing rapidly.

If you have any questions about EZRPA and feeder operations don't be afraid to ask me. I'm a senior driver (that hurts to say) and would rather give you good information and see you succeed than for you to fail.

If you want, you can PM me and I can shoot you my number to ask questions when needed. I'm almost always accesible.

That’s a lot of drivers, coming from a large hub with like 160 drivers, that hub must be massive.

I’d like to ask a feeder driver- what are feeders looking to get out of the contract? I saw something about 7th punch but that’s about it. What’s going on in feeder land for contract 2023?

In cab? I might check yes instead of no next time. Can they get a hot dog roller installed also? Then I’m in 100%.

The very few feeders I interact with (I’m new) are pretty content and don’t give much of a damn about this contract nonsense. I believe that is not true of most feeders out there. I’m just curious what the hot issues are.

Contractors, inward facing cameras.

To see what? You guys picking your nose? I was in feeder what is there really to see but hours of boredom. All our feeder sups cared about was your arrival and departure time. All in between WGAF.

Then why put cameras in at all?

 

[Thebrownblob]

They are not cameras they are sensors. No video is ever recorded in your cab. We’ve had them for quite a while. They are ignored and laughed about. The outward facing cameras have actually shown We have some pretty damn good drivers.

To piss you off?
