[QUOTE="JimJimmyJames, post: 477590, member: 11425"] In my three years in feeders I have worked sixty hour weeks only a handful of times, I average between 40 to 50 with 45 being the norm. Crappy shifts? If you mean working nights, yes it is rough but in our local we pick our jobs for one year only so you are not stuck on a particular route forever. Or you can be a spare and have a wide variety of shifts to cover over the year. As for family time I see them as much now as I did before. One really cannot blame feeders for not being able to exercise, thats just a convenient excuse I use :funny:. As a fellow sufferer of package driving induced back injury and pain, I have to say the tractors are quite comfortable. If anything, my ass is what hurts sometimes after two plus hours in the saddle. The only time I feel any back pain is occasionally after handling the dollies. Even using the proper lifting procedures and trying to minimize having to muscle those things around I sometimes feel sore. [/QUOTE]
