You need to give us more information. Not all Feeder depts are the same. Some have Q-Lists, others don't. What's your senioity, high, low, avg? How do you feel about driving large equipment, at night, in bad weather, on 4 hours sleep? How good are you at maintaining your weight? Will you go directly to an "on-call" position, or will you get a job (route in the package vernacular) right from the start? So, here's my advice, based on my situation. And when asking a question like you did, you always have to qualify answers based on the respondents senioity. Senioity in our Feeder dept means you have to have a minimum of 25 years in to see a summer vacation. You have to be over 23 years in to be off the least desirable jobs. You need 29 plus years to get any day work. Overall, as a Q-List driver (that means I'm on call) it beats package hands down. One Monday I may start at 1 am, by Friday I'm starting at 6pm, (Saturday). I have no young kids at home, so I don't have events and sports to miss. My wife tolerates it cause she knows its best for me. I prefer night work, just do. I have great night vision, but during the day my eyes 'tear'up in bright sunlight. The work is 'easier', but the responsibility is huge. If you friend, and miss a sort like a pre-load, you're in it deep. Spend an hour or two driving your local area freeway doing the speed limit, see how the ass-holes around you drive. Thats what you will need to put up with when you get out there. Everyone wants to get around you. And don't fool yourself thinking you're going to just speed down the highway. 1.) This new CSA thing will end your career, and 2.) with a CDL you answer to a higher authoity. The blood alcohol level to qualify as a drunk driver is .08 right? Well, if you have a CDL, you answer to a higher authority. If you are pulled over for suspiscion of drunk driving, and you are in your personal vehicle, on personal time, you CANNOT exceed .04. And there are other provisions. If I were you, this forum is fine and all, but you need to ask every Feeder driver in your department all kinds of questions, and keep in mind the difference between your senioity and theirs. Good luck.
