[QUOTE="moldsporh, post: 1848380, member: 54834"] Here's the deal with feeders, there's ALOT of seniority there, 3 years is basically nothing, and you are a few years from stepping up from "nothing". Are you dependent on making 45 hrs per week or more, have large bills? You may not work a few days, and this is what puzzles me and this should be addressed, but UPS should have a larger qualified list and rotate days to be on call. This would give the junior guys a chance to go back to delivery maybe 3 to 4 times a week and have one day where they must remain "on call" and not be allowed to be in delivery. The problem is, if UPS needs a feeder driver and they sent too many to delivery on the Q list, then they have no one to cover....so this I understand. If they had more qualified drivers, they could easily send them into delivery while keeping a couple on call......and everyone gets paid. So understand, that you may not work and this could be all week. If you want to be a feeder driver, with your seniority, I would HIGHLY recommend and even REQUIRE you, if you aren't there already...is to not have any debt with credit cards, car payment, maybe a SMALL rent or mortgage until you can establish yourself in feeders with 5 days of work. Trust me, you could easily lose most of your $$$$ with low seniority. [/QUOTE]
