[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 279823, member: 9859"] Is the grass greener in feeders ? Let me put it this way, do you want to work as a pkg car driver in your late forties, fifties and maybe in your sixties to get to 30-35 yrs with UPS ? There are some rare exceptions that some have great routes and are reluctant to change and some have personal or familiy issues not yet compatible with a flexible feeder schedule. However if opportunity knocks, and your availibilty is non-conflicting with personal matters you by all means should take it by the horns. If you decide to pass then you let less senority drivers bid ahead of you, and if you eventually decide to bid for feeders, your senority will be below those that you once had an upper hand over. Now the down side will of course be your low man on the toteum pole as far as vacations, route choices, o/t opportunities etc...But IMO it still beats pkgs any day of the week, in fact I don't dread going to work anymore, especially Mondays.
