[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 951756, member: 12508"] [b]Re: The Mouth of HATE SPEECH says something even more ridiculous on the AIR![/b] Whatever. It's clear that you don't understand the FedEx job, which is set-up quite differently from a UPS route which is primarily house calls.

The Feeder and RTD (FedEx name for feeder driver)jobs are basically identical. If anything, the UPS Feeder Driver has less unloading to do. More drop and hooks and breaking down sets though.
