[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 3003667, member: 52978"] The monies in feeders runs the gamut. Some drivers are happy with 40 hours. Some want 60. Some want mileage runs, some want hourly. The sleeper runs are where the big bucks are. There is a driver I stay in touch with who makes $150k/year. He told me they just added 400 miles to his run. He said he'll cry all the way to the bank. When a senior guy bids a sleeper job, he can pick his driving partner from any driver in the department. A new feeder driver just came into feeders and was chosen to be a co-driver. Just came into feeders and step into a $150,000k job a year? It can happen. The 2 drivers share the miles/money equally. There were about 200 drivers in my feeder department. As far as I know, there was only 1 off the street hire among them. They have no problem getting PT people to sign the list when posted down here. Not sure what the wait time is here now for PT'ers. It took me 9 years of PC before I got in, but I passed up 2 bid sheets before I saw the light. Good luck to the OP. [/QUOTE]
