[QUOTE="pickup, post: 537268"] I would also like to add ,for those who don't know or remember, is that I was an off the street hire and never did pc for ups. However, for many years, I drove a straight truck (non ac a lot of times) and busted my hump. This is when I was a much younger man . I don't think I could do it now. My hat is off to you pc drivers. One thing I forgot to mention about feeders is the night time hours in terms in how it affects our sleep. We can come in refreshed at 10 or 11 or night and hit the wall at 3:30 in the morning because everything is telling our bodies that it is time to sleep.( A lot of our lunches are used to answer this call from nature but it still leaves us grumpy when we wake up) . Salvation to this problem often comes in the form of the sunrise where we get our second wind in response to the light but then we can't sleep well when we get home and then come in the next night unrefreshed and then use all those chances we can get to close our eyes for a few minutes or to stretch if we are waiting on a load in order to get our bodies or minds to cooperate in our labors. If we can't do this especially with the mind, I can assure you an accident is just waiting to happen. [/QUOTE]
