Ask a Feeder Driver, Feeder Driver FAQ

[over9five]

I laugh every time I read something like this. The average feeder driver isn’t even close to 300 lbs. i work with 320 drivers. I can count on two hands the number of obese drivers. The guys you see driving down the road pedal to the floor who get paid by the load, they’re obese, because they aren’t paid well. When you aren’t paid well you eat bad. Cheap fast food etc etc.

There are more fat package drivers than feeder drivers now.
Low steps, automatics, diad makes all their decisions.... life is easy now, they get no exercise.

No such thing as a fat driver when I started.

I know, but I see a lot on here say it and they’re serious. And personally I couldn’t care less, I’m 165lbs. Just a myth though, we make good enough money to be able to eat healthy.

Most of the feeders on here joke about it. Lol In all my years at UPS I never really saw any real fat people, a clerk, maybe a chunky driver or two but everyone is usually hustling along.

What's up with that bright red light they mount in the dash? Thank God for electrical tape.

Basically the red light means your IVIS is NOT paired to the tractor. If it is red, your ELD is not compliant with FMCSA. Don't cover it with tape, or at least don't leave it that way.

It’s a running joke, man don’t take it seriously. Even my feeder buddies and I call each other fat and none of us actually are.

We can call them plus sized truck drivers if he prefers.
