At our hub most of the new feeder drivers come out of the hub and not package because those drivers don't want to chain up for the most part. There is so much work that almost everyone is working close to 60 hours a week. We did have 180 feeder drivers 3 years ago but don't know how many now.
Also in our hub, new feeders start off at top feeder rate.
you should hold your tongue when you don't know what you are talking about.
