Thank you Feeder drivers

[I have been lurking]

Your safe driving is getting me an hour of OT when it's slow and causing aneurysms for all management!

YOU ARE TRUE TEAMSTERS LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR POORER BROTHERS!

We had a preload manager try and tell a feeder driver with some late loads that he better start making his pull times at whatever hub he was coming from. We all had a good laugh about that one.

Sorry that was me. Had the air trailer the other morning but stopped for a little breakfast on the way.

Back in the 80’s the Tuesday after Thanksgiving the division manager was waiting to tell me the preload was almost out of work. That night started out with 50 degrees and high winds. Trees and power lines down caused a few delays just getting to the hub. The snow started and PennDot wasn’t out. The 100 mile trip took 3 hours. I had another pup for another center 50 miles away, I told him that Center will definitely not have work since I had the #1 preload box. He had a cigarette in both hands before I headed north. Good times! I think he took an early retirement after that peak.

I always wake up hungry after my big nap at the airport.

Had 5-8 trailers go lost that were coming to our hub.

What does safe driving have to do with overtime?

“Union mandated break”

I see nothing wrong here.

The OP was paid to wait for feeder driver to arrive. They finished late so extra hours. Just a guess.

That had nothing to do with the driver. That is all on operations.

Feeder: The best job at UPS. If the opportunity is there for you, don’t pass it up.

Oh- I guess I have a bunch to learn.

I always thought if the hub used more employees they could process faster and get the work on the road. Right now, package car can't get out of the building before 9:30, so the pickup's get back late and the cycle repeats.

I don’t know if I could sit still for that long. When I have to drive 30 minutes back from my route I start to get antsy.

There is in-town work as well as out-of-town in feeder departments in city areas. Lots of feeder drivers prefer to stay in-town.
