[QUOTE="Kicked Your Dog, post: 1751780, member: 51488"] This is the most inaccurate and "kitty" description possible. You have more control over your family life in feeder than, you'd ever dream of in package. You can work M-friend, T-Sat, or Sun-Th, on a week to week basis, depending on your bid for the week. Plenty of 4 day weekends can be scheduled for family time. If you work 60 hours during the week, there is no way you'd have to be on call over your weekend. As for nights, that's what you want as a young father! Share dinner, put your kids to bed each night, kiss the wife goodnight and head out to work at 9-11p. Get home 12 hours later and spend the late morning or early afternoon with them, and be available to catch their school functions and activities. Most importantly, have daily one on one time with your wife. As a father, it should be your obligation to be a provider in the best way possible. The $30k raise should provide a lot of opportunity for your family and allow your wife to be a stay at home mom and really nurture your children. I wouldn't say your stupid for turning it down, but it doesn't sound like the most responsible or mature decision an honest working father could make. Your family time will always fit around your work schedule, when you're a feeder driver. Not to mention that you'll wok harder and for less money in package. You're going to miss a boatload of your kid's lives as a package driver. You just don't know it yet. Anybody who says otherwise is talking out of their rear end. [/QUOTE]
