I’ve always heard people say “it’s like working for a different company”
Can someone explain why it always seems that in feeder it’s this laid back relaxed environment and package we are used and abused? Make it make sense.

"Send it."
If you crash a set of doubles into a family minivan: 3mil and 1500+ pissed off customers.
Does that make sense?

Totally different company but as far as discipline is concerned, if you screw up and they don’t like you it will be an issue. In feeders I might say two words to my direct supervisor in a month. In package like I’ve stated before I was a driver who stuck up for myself. 9.5 and everything else. I was in the office daily. 9 years in feeders I’ve been in the office for discipline maybe 3 times. It just doesn’t happen. Be an adult, do your job. They don’t care as long as you aren’t screwing around.

You have an accident in package, a tow truck comes to pull you out of a ditch. You have an accident in feeders and you’ll be on the 7 o’ clock news.

I’m a big proponent of being an adult and doing my job but the pathetic management combined with micro-ing said management makes my head spin.

It does. Thats why when I hear guys talk about how great it is and relaxed I’m confused because you think it would be the other way around. Being super tight in feeders and like, a little more relaxed in package ? I’m dodging sprinklers and cruising around town. I’m not doing 70 on the turnpike and grandma just dropped her coffee in her lap.

Feeders was always laid back, I had a run and on Friday night I'd bring a set to a hub around 11:30 and sit there for sort down until 4:30, sometimes they'd forget I was there and give my load away so I'd go into dispatch asking are you guys sending me a load back? Oh dam we forgot about you just grab an empty and head back. Okie dokie.

We've currently got maybe 5 onroads for 300+ drivers. If you don't hit anything you're not really on the radar. I don't even know who my onroad is at the moment.

Sleepers and also mileage runs. We have a few. Of course like anything you’re going to have runner gunners, and here for the most part they are package transfers who were scaredy cats and were running for their life everyday in package. They can’t shake that out of them even when they come to feeders. It’s pathetic.
