[QUOTE="bookibug, post: 1134829, member: 47594"] I was a package car driver as was my husband. I quit the trade and he stayed on. My husband went from package to feeder and didn't regret the change- but over the thirty year career we discovered that not all package car drivers can be feeder drivers. The hours are long and usually over terrible conditions. A lot of the package car drivers are afraid of being on the road, they are afraid of the rigs and the traffic. But before you make the leap, think about your family. I raised my two kids basically alone. Daddy slept during the day and we all had to be quiet. No family dinners, or after school activities. It takes a toll on the husband and wife thing for sure. Now that he's retired, the kids are grown and gone and he still has trouble sleeping at night. Being Feeder is a big step, and if prepared it can be good - just wanted to tell you what no one else told us. [/QUOTE]
