[QUOTE="dosmastr, post: 1258116, member: 51735"] Cosmo1 you did not understand what I meant. My understanding of PC drivers is if there are 20 routes that day and 25 drivers come in, the lowest 5 get the boot and go home without pay, or have the option that if it happens a lot to go be a 22.3 until they are needed on the road My question is: is that the same for feeders, you aren't guaranteed time if the work isn't there, but if you only 1 or two days a week as a feeder driver, the option to do a22.3 type work is made available (if the hub can use another worker that is) Thanks for all the info guys, anonymous is kinda along the lines of what I'm asking for a regular day. so in general its 14 hour days and out of the house for 15-16 hours a day? Do they have an integrad type thing also or? Chickenlegs I know what you mean about being ready for bed after a drive... I used to drive 7 hours to Vermont a few times a year... by hour #5 I was about ready to list my house and move 3 hours closer... and always was arguing with wife "we'll just unload it later honey, c'mon I need a nap" so for example it might be leave the house at 6pm, get to WILPA at 635pm pretrip the vehicle, take a load from willow grove to new stanton, which takes from 7pm to 1230am, 30 min layover, grab food, take a new Stanton load to WILPA, arrive at 530am, post trip vehicle, maybe real quick run a wilpa to lawnside preload 1hr bring back an empty another 1hr and be done 8am ish home 830am ish.... ?? I'm just throwing out there my impression and asking where its not quite accurate....or quite wrong lol... [/QUOTE]
