[QUOTE="brett636, post: 968064, member: 249"] In Indiana we go by classification seniority meaning when you go into feeders you start at the bottom regardless of previous company time. I can pick jobs ahead of guys with twice as much company time as me because they came into feeders after I did. I find this sytem much more equitable because I chose to come into feeders much earlier in my career and will be working nights for the next decade at least, if not longer, before I can start getting earlier starting jobs. I think its important for new feeder drivers to get the experience of being on the bottom of the list working on call, vacation picks, and nights before getting the premium runs that start earlier in the day. Being at the bottom in package car is a whole different ball of wax because atleast you will always know what time you will be starting work, and can reasonably assume when you will be getting off. When I was on call in feeders I got called in on Friday night at 2345 and didn't clock out until 1245 Saturday afternoon. Its just a completely different set of challenges requiring(in my opinion) a separate seniority list. [/QUOTE]
