Do it .
That's a big reason why air drivers stay air drivers, part timers stay inside and temp drivers don't temp again at my center. It's just been one thing after another that management is told they have to jump on or else. The money doesn't matter as much if you'd rather just live and work in peace.
You guys who are at locations with feeder bids are super lucky to have that option. I'd go for it in a second.

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.
Yes go. There is no reason not to. Stop making excuses and take the easier job.
I have 2 young kids and another on the way.
The days I work banker hours are the days i never see my kids. Usually any other shift I can get the hours I need and see the kids quite a bit as well
Do it now and by the time your kids are doing sports or whatever after school, you might have the seniority to hold a job that lers you be there for each event

You should probably stay in PC, I can't afford to drop anymore spots -_- As for the op I was never in package but there are many drivers who say they get to see their loved ones more being in feeders. You'll more than likely be running nights instead of days. Or even a second shift 2/4pm- 1/3am just a rough idea.

If you don't mind working nights then go for it. I wish my center had the option to go into feeders.

it, you can always go back. Most don't go or look back.

Light 'em up!
Most new feeder drivers end up working nights.
Are you OK leaving your spouse and kids home alone at night?
Are you willing to miss after school activities and football, baseball games in the evening?
Can you adjust to sleeping days and working nights?
Will you be able to sleep during the day, especially during the summer when your kids are out of school playing and making noise?
Can you sleep through neighbors cutting lawns and tree trimmers working next to your house?
If you think you can do the above, there will be less stress and you will probably see your kids more, just at different times.
Most feeder drivers have a very understanding spouse, or are divorced due to the hours.
You need to ask your spouse these same questions and make sure he/she is on board.

Odd we have had multi drivers go PC to feeders and all return back to PC. The hours seem to be worse for seeing their kids/wife. Guess shifts are different at each center.

They must be pretty low on seniority too.
