my local is 177 in NJ. how long after getting hired full time do i have to wait to get on the list for feeders? i cant find anything in the union book any help would be appreciated.
1-5 years seniority = 20 years
5-10 years seniority = 5 - 10 years
15-20 years seniority = 1 - 5 years
Not true at all. There’s guys that get to feeders within a year of getting on the list.The technical answer is 6 months but in reality you will not be able to get anywhere near a feeder run for at least 15-20 years, if not longer.

Yup. We just had a guy come up who did 2 years in package. I’m in the 177. They hired a bunch of off the streets out of order. Big run on package drivers for the last 6 months.In Local 177 in N.J.?

Where do you get this nonsense from? In my building it’s 1 year of safe driving. And I’ve seen many people get the call immediately.The technical answer is 6 months but in reality you will not be able to get anywhere near a feeder run for at least 15-20 years, if not longer.
We are taking PT’ers with 1 year of seniority. s crazy.Where do you get this nonsense from? In my building it’s 1 year of safe driving. And I’ve seen many people get the call immediately.
Yeah that’s crazy. I’ve heard you guys wait forever. Our package seniority doesn’t carry over here so it thins the list out. Package guys with 10+ years don’t want to lose that seniority. We just had two 20+ year pkg guys come to feeders. Right to the bottom. Worst jobs. Worst start times. I couldn’t stomach that. 20 year package guy working with a street guy who’s been there a year and has more seniority. SMDHI was a PC driver in Local 804 (NYC area) and I was on the list 17 years when I was called. Good luck
That's how it is here. Took me 25 years in pkg before I got into feeders. Went from the top of pkg vacation picks to my 6 weeks in feeder vacation over within the first two months of the year.Yeah that’s crazy. I’ve heard you guys wait forever.

It's not a mile long here, we got a couple of guys that haven't even hit top pay yet and they just hung a bid list for part timers.Yeah but that’s the trade off. If it carries over you’re never making it to feeders because the list will be a mile long like 804. If it’s doesn’t carry over you get to feeders quicker.
