[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1726418, member: 42691"] I know a handful of feeder drivers who will openly tell you that they never plan on retiring. Those guys had messy, cantankerous divorces where their ex got half of their pension. They only way they don't get it, is if they don't retire. I know of a driver who retired, but came back after his daughter got sick and needed the insurance. For every guy who retired and never looked back, there are drivers who retired and died within the year. It's amazing how often that happens. Some guys just like to work. For them, it really is that simple. Also, those guys with a million years seniority in feeders, most of them have mileage runs. As easy as a feeder job is, a mileage feeder job is even easier. You literally clock in, pre-trip your equipment and get rolling. Almost every mileage job we have here, you don't even hook up or break down. The only physical work you do is when you switch loads. And mileage jobs pay the best. Everybody is different. [/QUOTE]
