[QUOTE="lazydriver, post: 959266, member: 21880"] It has been awhile since I posted anything. I bidded into feeders more than 21yrs ago from an outlying center without feeder runs into the main feeder hub 20 miles away. The first 2 years as a qualified driver I still bidded a package run back in my outlying center. They covered my package run with a cover driver and if I was sent back to package because of no work in feeders I would call up my center and say I was going to show up for package. I can't go back, they would have to train me how to use diad. We were still on paper sheet writing stops. It was 5 years before I got a permanent feeder bid. If I disqualify myself now I am not allowed to go back to my original outlying center. I will have to bump a junior delivery driver in one of the many other delivery centers at the feeder hub. Some years ago we had a problem with the feeder sups who only had DTS training and no on road experience. Most of the old time sups retired or took on the early buyouts. We had at one time only one sup who was a former feeder driver. We tried driver trainers for awhile, but you end up pulling that driver off his run to train someone and using up another feeder driver to cover his run. You end up running out of drivers when needed. [/QUOTE]
