Hey wildman and others,
How come certain feeder drivers and management get to take off for stress but others do not? Talk to RR, he will show how. Life is not fair. |

I don't get it. Feeder drivers and managers don't have stress.
Give that time off to the package drivers! | |

From what I have seen the medical condition is not necessarily stress but high blood pressure that needs to be controlled before they can return to work.

I am in feeders and if your BP is high, you are off until you get it under control. I believe this is a DOT regulation as it is part of the DOT physical. | |

It's because he (some) get fat and lazy sitting in the cab all day. More exercise! | |
