The company has been using this "system " for 25 or more years. The biggest problem is we have two completely different schools of skill sets between Feeders and Package Car. Until this company recognizes the difference, their attempts to brain wash everyone into the same mind set will never succeed. An example, First rule to Backing ....Their answer across the board is Don't Back. That may work in package, but it's not with Feeders. A feeder driver can not perform the job without backing. So preaching not to back to a feeder driver is silly.

This has been changed to "back only when necessary". The reason for the "don't back" mentality is that we have a lot of backing accidents, the majority of which could have avoided as the back may not have been necessary, and they want us to think "don't back".
