[QUOTE="HFolb23, post: 4771381, member: 55674"] Thank you everyone for your input. As I said, I’m not getting a ton of information about it. Myself and a few other drivers (who also have the same Class A and T endorsement) had our letters of intent and got informed by our stewards and business agents that we were going into feeders. Something about new positions being created. I figured any new job would need to go up for bid but maybe not. I’ve been with UPS long enough to know not to really trust anything until it actually happens, but I’m hopefully optimistic, I’ve wanted to go into Feeders since I even started at UPS and it really would be exciting to see it happen. My center has no manual tractors, but we also don’t have any spares meaning they’re going to be bringing in more tractors for these new positions, if feeders is anything like package we’ll wind up with whatever ancient rolling wreck the donating center chooses to hand over. Last time we borrowed PCs they came to us and we’re all immediately red tagged and ADA within a month or two. Someone at my building mentioned that the first week was during the daytime, I’m assuming that would be some type of empty trailer practice like others have mentioned because in my center all of our live loads travel at night. None of our drivers have gone away for a school, but I remember seeing them with some sort of trainer or supervisor before when I worked the night sort. Any tips you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. I rarely see our feeder drivers anymore and my BA and stewards have given me all the information they seem to know. [/QUOTE]
