[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1325790, member: 52978"] As anyone who has worked both package car and feeders will tell you, it's like working for a whole different company. In some ways feeders relaxes rules. (grooming comes to mind) And they have their hot button topics...one week it might be pretrip time, another time its idle, another it's fw. Just look them in the eye and say you'll do your best to work on it. That satisfies the on road sup, because he had to talk to you and report back to his boss that he did so. You gave him positive feed back, so he's happy (well as happy as you're going to make them) Just don't take chances on the yard or on the road. The next week, it will be another topic and they will leave you alone and bother someone else. I spent my last 29 years in feeders and retired as a 34 year circle of honor driver. Like Dracula said up above, don't hesitate to ask someone on here a question if need be. Younger drivers can be the beneficiary of our experiences.. [/QUOTE]
