Lmao....thanks. I worked as a package handler in the early 90's. I kick myself in the ass for not staying then. Hopefully everything goes ok and I get a a chance to stay after season. Love the advice !!!! Don't mind working overtime or helping someone out. Glad to be home. Been an otr driver and only home 3 days a month. Missing wife and kids being gone that long.

You should have gone into feeders.

So I know this will be a seasonal temp position but would love to stay with company after its over. Any suggestions or advise. Package handler, feeder, air position or should I apply for any open position just to keep my foot in door. Thanks for any suggestions

I also have a class A license and experienced otr driver

Go on upsjobs.com and look for a feeder job. It will take years to go full time working inside. Relocate if you have to

Feeders are loading package cars right ?. Isn't that part time also

 

[oldngray]

Feeders are drivers who feed a lot.

Those are loaders. Feeders are tractors and trailers. Package is well...packages

 

[PT Car Washer]

Feeders bring the packages to the centers or hubs. They don't touch packages. They have people that sort and load and make the actual delivery.

Great. Thanks for the advise. I'll look into that position and hopefully easier to get in full time than working inside. I thought they were otr drivers that had a dedicated route

Go to upsjobs.com

Thanks. I checked. No opportunities yet but set up alerts. Keeping fingers crossed I won't have to go back over road and leave family again for 3 weeks at a time
