I guess I'm looking for a change. I've been a pt oms for the past 3 years. I'm ready to learn and do more and something different. (I hate feeling stagnant). My interest is moreso leaning towards dispatch. So I've been looking at applying for the pt feeder supervisor. Is anyone able to give me insight on the good, bad, and ugly? I've seen somewhere that in this position, that there are a lot of overnights. What are the typical hours? Typical job duties? Will my oms experience help as a feeder sup?

Lunch is the best part of the day
Only people who have cdl are on road supervisor. And even then they are hired with 0 experience and sent to dts

Never heard of a PT feeder sup but I can tell you from just what I’ve observed, feeder sups do 1/100th the work package sups do. Ours stroll in around 3pm everyday and just seem to sit around and do nothing. It’s not like package. They’re not the enemy, even though they’d stab an hourly in the back in a heartbeat if it was called for.

Wrong. Here's the flowchart for those who don't know:
Are they management?
No>>>>Not the enemy.
Yes>>>>THE ENEMY!

Feeder sup who trained me first day. “This isn’t package. We’re not driving all over the state spying on you“ but if they feel you did something wrong, and they think it’s called for you will be disciplined. They don’t treat you like a little kid. Maybe that’s why it seems to me they don’t do much. Package was them trying to trip you up every day. I probably havent said 5 words to a supervisor in the last month. That was the shock for me when I came to feeders. Wow, this is like a different company.

You don’t need a CDL to work in the office in Feeder. And even in management, Feeder is the best place to be.

When I worked they always sent the management who screwed up the most to feeders.
Just like you know how to deliver a rot in package. Sure hire that can't do the friend* job

And along with 0 experience driving, they learn how to train the new feeder drivers how to drive and get their CDL.
