[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 164290, member: 6408"] Rush, depends on how flexible you are. No, not your body, your LIFE! As a low senior driver, yes, you will get crappy jobs...covering vacs, sick days, options, etc, which means you will be getting phone calls all hours of the day and night. If you have nuff seniority (depending on how your center works), you might be able to zoot right into a bid. Here, it took me yrs to get to where I wasn't bounced back to PC after every peak only to get called up again when vacs started. Then it took ANOTHER few yrs to even get a bid job or run and you can imagine what THAT was like. Yes, your body will like it. No more worrying if your knees are gonna blow out, your back, your veeblefetzer. But, as past comments have gone, you body will expand also. Don't forget to exercise. Pay is greater. In most areas, overtime is mandatory. There ain't no 9.5 language in feeders. You get to listen to tunes all day or all night. Hook up anything in your unit that will be allowed...XM, Sirius, CDs, MP3s, CB. Depending on where you're located, winter driving can be pretty nasty. In MY case, I'd rather be driving a set of doubles in snow and ice then a squirrly PC. Just go slow and be careful. And don't listen to home base (250 miles away) when they scream "It ain't snowing here, so you ain't stopping!" I feel that the worst job in feeders is still better then the best job in PC. Been doing it for 26 of the 29 yrs I been here. Good luck [/QUOTE]
