[QUOTE="35years, post: 3407175, member: 60822"] Reading the stories on here has changed my mind about going into feeders. This last peak was totally draining in package working 13.5 to 14 hours for 6 weeks strait. I was ready to make the switch to feeders. We dovetail seniority and I would likely be able to work days at this point. I was not going to switch until I would not have to bounce shifts or work nights. I have seen many marginal (at best) package drivers who made the switch. I have heard all the comments about how much easier feeders is. But I definitely have the easiest route out of hundreds in my area. My hours are completely under control using the 9.5 list, except for 6 weeks of peak. It has been a decade since they have even attempted to harass me for production. Could not care less about their warning letters for other piddly stuff. The thought of pulling all that weight while struggling to stay awake is not something I want to experience. I don't do the kind of miles feeders does but after decades of 200 mile days in package, I have seen driving situations that will scare the crap out of you, no matter how careful you are. Guess I will finish it out in the brown box or sweep floors until I am done. [/QUOTE]
