Maybe not in the BOG, but every hub/center I've been to it is.Going to feeders is not necessarily an "upgrade".

It was for me. Never seen anyone trying to get back to packages.Going to feeders is not necessarily an "upgrade".
It is. I'm Metro D.C. List is up until Monday.
Every day in Feeders is Good Friday, until next winter...So, my journey is set to begin Monday, 7am. I am told the first day is mainly paperwork, but the 2nd day will feature a lot of driving. How does that work, exactly? Will I be put behind the wheel that 2nd day, or will the trainer be doing most of the driving?
On a side note, I just realized I am going to miss one of the easiest days of the year in package: Good Friday. Most of my pickups are closed (which also means no deliveries to them, of course). I may get 140-150 stops that day (I am normally around 110), but it doesn't matter, and I end up with a 2 hr lunch. For a moment, a brief moment, I was saddened because I would miss that day....and I remembered WHY I was missing that day! Provided it doesn't rain or snow, it will probably be easier in feeders that day. I'll let ya'll know. ..
I don't know how they do it these days, but depending the size of your yard, you will probably be driving around in circles on property. You are getting trained at the perfect time, because that will give you a good six months of experience before winter. Also, with any new job, but especially in feeders-The first few weeks you may wonder what you got yourself into. However, after a while, things will fall in place...So, my journey is set to begin Monday, 7am. I am told the first day is mainly paperwork, but the 2nd day will feature a lot of driving.
