[QUOTE="pickup, post: 2834490"] I had a conversation a month and a half ago with a high seniority Feeder driver who had an on road supervisor in his vehicle with him while he was on property . The conversation we had was a few hours after , at lunchtime. I asked him if that was his annual ride along or was it some other issue that required him to have an on road sup in the vehicle. He told me that the on road sup got on when the driver inbounded at an entry gate and the time spent in any instruction or observation would be from that point until he dropped the trailer and then the on road sup would mosey on back to the gate for another driver. I think the focus at that time was reducing on property time by trying to reduce the time the driver spent getting rid of his inbound trailer. This was something new to this high seniority 30 year safety patch wearing driver so afterwards he did some inquiring with some his management friends and told me the results of the inquiry: that the on road sups are going to no longer do annual rides. They will devote the freed up time from that for other activities such as that such as described above as well as hiding in bushes at rest areas(to catch problematic Feeder drivers). That's what I heard from a good source and so far that is what I have seen, no annual rides for anybody since that conversation. My annual ride is coming up in two months so I'll see what happens.
