Small package is hiring feeder drivers for the Lenexa and Egerton Ks terminals, I have applied for both, can anyone tell me if one terminal is better than the other, also how does the job of feeder driver compare to LTL linehaul? Are all runs meets/drop hooks? Also any idea what starting pay is? And are all feeder drivers hired as temps? Thanks in advance

How much do you weigh? There is a 275 pound weight minimum

If he's starting at 225, he can work up to that 275 minimum. Just redshirt him.

Doesn’t he have to be at 275 by the time his production week is over though?

I can't speak for your area, but if your called in for an interview, Go! Some are meets and some you go to other UPS facilities. You usually drive the same tractor once you get a bid or you're covering someone's bid for the week. It's somewhat similar to freight with the exception our trailers are all scheduled. More so than freight. Picture an airline. Once you arrive, in most cases that trailer has a date with a door on the building almost immediately when you arrive. It just moves at a much faster pace.
Many drivers are hired as seasonal employees. This is how you get screened. In many cases, if you do well, they'll ask you to come back permanently. I work with so many ex FedEx Freight and FedEx Express drivers, Conway/XPO, Holland, YRC etc.
Most runs are paid hourly, some paid by mileage. Me personally, I like hourly runs. I like not having to run like a scalded cat or worry about traffic or weather. Heavy hitters usually go after mileage runs.
It's a 4 year progression to scale.You start at around $19/HR and top out at roughly $37, mileage is I believe around 81cents per mile. Time and a half after 8 hours, if youre running hourly, pension provided and insurance is free to you and your family. It's hard to get in, and a hard road to get to bid coverage, but it's arguably the best position in transportation! You'll have a job for life.Good luck to you.

Don't you go straight to top scale as feeder? Even if under four years

I heard the company merchandise catalog has bras for feeder drivers. So that true ?
Never heard that one.

Yes but it’s in the special feeder edition. They also have 10 gallon lunch pails that you can fit a 23 pound turkey in.

And, knee braces for package car drivers, as well as Ben Gay ointment pain relieving cream.
