Ask a Feeder Driver, Feeder Driver FAQ
- Thread starter 104Feeder
- Start date
so your saying to use out of my supplement that sentence. I know it sounds fishy when my BA and steward and ctr mgr tell me I cannot cross train. just makes no sense. like I said i'll have to grieve it with out the use of my steward because he is against me going into feeders and ask the associate steward to do it.. or can I just hand it in to the ctr mgr? myself
I just read through some of your supplement and going by what you're saying it does sound like your BA is screwing you. Stick to your guns. If he keeps trying to obstruct you tell him you'll file an unfair labor practice charge against him.
what about going down and bringing this up with the union president.. he's a pretty good guy who I've been told does not tolerate this kind of conduct. this coming from a retired BA under him and some other feeder drivers from the hub trying to help me without getting to involved if you know what I mean.. thanks for all your help.

Silent Killer pt II
So.....I am at the outbound phones at NEWPA waiting for the security guard to seal my trailer. He seals it, walks back to the tractor, and hands me my keys and paperwork.
I start the tractor and reach over to hit leave when I see it......chunks of black grease all over the tips of my fingers!
"What the
?", I mutter. "Where the hell did that come from?"
I look everywhere, steering wheel, gear shift, hand brake, air valves, my backpack....nothing, all clean.
I reach for my keys to turn the tractor off as this will take me a few minutes to get my hand degreased. As I turn them I feel more of the Silent Killer wrap her dark tenacles around my fingers.
IT'S ON MY KEYS!
All over my keys!
"BRUH!", I yell to the guard, "You greased my keys!"
"Yeah, sorry 'bout that. The seals are covered in that stuff."
I just shake my head, clean off my hands and keys, and hit the road.
Greased by a yellow shirt.....sigh.

You cannot be a cover driver for both package and feeder at the same time.

Looks like an antique, haven't seen one of them in a while.

No, it's just like a 1st generation dolly, 1 light cord for the dolly or the rear trailer, no basket for the lines, fifth wheel release is like a conventional fifth wheel. We don't pull long tandems in NJ, but I've never seen a UPS two axle dolly. I believe they uses the same dolly for everything.

They do use the same dolly for double 45s. It just looks like it's a bit longer than the current dollies, hence why I wondered. Had one of these sitting in NewPA for the longest time.

I'd take one with a flat before I'd take that relic. Probably have a better chance of getting there with the flat.

When it gets down to 1 dolly, and it's covered in dust and cobwebs, and nobody has pulled it, I could usually find something on it to redtag. lol.
