Wah
sounds like a good job if you got some earplugs
Then I would miss all the juicy gossip.

At least that gives them a little time to get used to it.
I know it is NOT funny, but I had to chuckle at the thought of being trained in October, and being sent into the mountains in a snowstorm in January!

Depending on what local you belong to, they have different feeder work rules. So if the A or B driver is off for any reason, the rookies can be forced to go. If a driver with more seniority doesn't want the work. The local I belong to, if the A or B driver is off for any reason other than a sick call, we may select the driver we want to take with us for that run.Rookie feeder drivers in so-cal since october making it to sleeper teams. Ok. Sure.
Agree.Trains magazine has written extensively about the relationship between the railroads and UPS. Right now, RR capacity is stretched and it is going to get worse before it gets better.

Seeing the country was cool.. It was my first sleeper trip. While Chicago was cold, dirty and dungy, the people there were great. I stopped in Dwight for lunch at a cool 50's diner and had the best meal anywhere. I could never live there myself, I respect those that can make that part of the country work for them.
The rest of the country was no concrete jungle like where I come from, but the people were very nice. OKC was nicer than i thought it would be. Kansas was foggy and very dangerous at night with freezing rain, so I never got to see anything of the state.
In IOWA, we parked our tractors for lunch around 11pm while the temperature was at 3 degrees. We bundled up to walk into a hardees restaurant and we were still freezing. A hostess walks out at the same time with only her uniform on as she walked to her car.. We thought, WTF? She said, you guys must be from the coast...
LOL.

I have no idea. I have never signed the sleeper list. No way I could sleep while someone else was driving.What's so good about it. What makes it so desirable??
