[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5413717, member: 70932"] Nothing to do with a weak local. These jobs are everywhere. Certain businesses get too many packages everyday to fit on a package car. They are delivered by feeders. Some are loaded onto skids by us in the morning and we just unload the skids using pallet jacks at the business. Some of the businesses unload the skids like they do for the other LTL freight carriers. Some we get there and load the packages onto skids and them pull them off. Some have rollers that come into the trailers and are unloaded that way. Some, we just drop the trailer and they unload it. They then reload it during the day and we pick it up that night. Similar to a package driver in a 26 foot box truck. We call them Big Bobs. They go to the businesses and unload the box truck. We are different than other LTL freight carriers. They are rear door delivery. That is all the customer is paying for. It is up to the businesses to unload the packages or skids. We are inside delivery. Meaning the customer is paying us to deliver the packages inside the building. We cannot tell the businesses to unload the packages themselves. The local cannot tell the Company that feeder drivers don't have to handle packages. I guess you have no bigger accounts that get too many packages everyday for a package car or a Big Bob. Then you have no TDP or CPU jobs. You just have the typical feeder jobs that pull loads to other centers or hubs and then pull loads back. [/QUOTE]
