[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 3474386, member: 52145"] Excellent advice. That is what we saw when package drivers came over to Feeder.They treated a tractor trailer like a big package car and were always trying to make up for lost time. It's a whole different mindset in feeder. You can get in an accident in a package car and it's usually just a fender bender. You make mistakes or get in an accident in feeder and there is a good chance someone will get hurt or killed. It's an awesome responsibility and the best feeder drivers I knew took great pride in being professional and doing the job right and safe. When you speak to other truck drivers in truck stops and rest areas you will see that UPS truck drivers get a lot of respect because of this. We are truly regarded as the "Kings of the Road" That is what I miss most from being retired. The admiration and respect from other drivers , DOT , Highway Patrol , and especially the general public. Don't let us down newbies. [/QUOTE]
