I'm currently in the hiring process as a permanent street hire in Chicagoland (not cach). looking for info in regards to hours each week starting out. I know only people with a bid work everyday and it'll take a couple years for everything to steady out. I've been told a lot of people are retiring, so I'm hoping to move up the call list a little. Fingers crossed they move that progression rate up a little in the new contract before I get locked in the old if I get on...

Extremely unsettling in the beginning. And the steps of progress to make that feeling go away are microscopic. I’m almost a month in and every night when I go to work I’m questioning why I’m doing this when I can just go back to my package route, but I refuse to. I’m sticking it out. Package is not a career anymore. They want to run you into the ground and toss you out like the nightly garbage. You literally do nothing in feeders. 3-5 moves of driving and your day/night is over.
Different strokes. After my first day by myself I knew there was no way I would ever go back to package, they'd have to shoot me first.

5 months ? It took me about 5 minutes.
You need to accept the fact that this is like starting a new job. New responsibilities , new employees, new management and not knowing what you're doing. If you can mentally get past that and be comfortable with the equipment then its smooth sailing from there. I haven't been in feeders long and I already find myself getting comfortable. Sometimes too comfortable, while jamming out to tunes with the windows down taking in the nice weather. I have to remind myself, I am still a rookie and to take it back a step and focus on what I am doing. I have a headset but right now I refuse to use it and drive. Does it help past the time but it really is a distraction for us noobs.
