[QUOTE="ol'browneye, post: 477449, member: 14003"] I will have 22 years pkg car in March. I missed out on the feeder school last August by [I]that much.[/I] I hear they will have another in spring since supposedly there a bunch of retirements coming. But that's what was said last summer and only 6 drivers were taken into feeders. Well I hope feeders is everything I hear it is. I do have to ask some of you feeder drivers something, especially those that have gone in recently. Is riding in the tractors any easier on the back than riding in the pkg cars? I understand that you are not humping boxes all day long but you are definately sitting on your bum riding a lot longer time in one stretch, which, if you have ever had back problems can be just as bad. I'm shooting for feeders because I feel it will be easier on my body and will help me reach retirement in better health than staying in pkg car for 8 more years. I also do not wish to hijack this thread so if anyone wants to pm me that would be great. Good luck troublemaker and congratulations! I hope to join you in the big rigs soon! [/QUOTE]
