I, myself, 17yr. veteran(12yrs pkg-car,2yrs feeders, the rest inside bldg.), once had a rural pkg-car route before I got trained and enter the feeder dept. I remember those hot summer days and winter snow days, running up farm lanes just to deliver a NDA letter or an over 70 package. Some of my fellow pkg-car driver friends ask me from time to time, how is feeder vs. package car.. I tell them; its like being on extended vacation, but I still wear my browns and collect an even bigger paycheck on friday. Also, being in feeders is like package car, hehe, without the packages,customers and all that daily negotiated customer serving headaches. Its funny in package car, customers can complain and call the 800 number on you, but trailers you pull, dont talk back!!
