[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1035264, member: 42691"] No, what is amazing, looking back on feeder school, is how UPS spends the entire first week simply getting you prepared to pass the CDL test. That is the only priority. No, not teaching how to drive the rigs safely. Not how to deal with inclement weather, not how to hook up a set of doubles properly...none of that. After I passed my CDL, the next week was the 5 day ride with a feeder supervisor. We did a little bit of everything, but concentrated on nothing, and as result, the following week, when I was on my own, I felt lost. I got through it, like most other drivers did. But I only got through it because of the help of seniority feeder drivers. After a a month or two, it was amazing to think about how much feeder school didn't teach you.... Maybe that is something you might think about before you go to feeder school. [/QUOTE]
