I've been told that now in this new contract we don't have to go to package car anymore. We can jump the line to feeder.
I can tell that you're predestined for feeders, because you sure know how to start a rumor.I've been told that now in this new contract we don't have to go to package car anymore. We can jump the line to feeder.
+1I've read that contract cover to cover while on the can. It's a great read for that. I didn't see anything about that. Senioirity still rules as far as I know. However, there is a gentleman in my building who was an outside hire who worked in package for maybe 5 weeks. He hated it and was about to quit when the boss told him about feeders and that there was a spot open and no one wanted it. Twenty years later he is still there. I have also heard of pre-loaders going straight to feeders because no one wanted the sleeper team routes. So it can happen but if you get it it's because no one else wanted it, not because someone found a loop hole in the contract.
+1You can go directly to feeders but only if everyone ahead of you passes on the opportunity. We had a guy transfer in a couple years ago and became a feeder driver very soon after. Then after that another position came open and one of our newest drivers that we hired from Cintas went to back up feeder driver. No one wants feeders where I am from because the hours suck. I almost took the spot but dont like being asleep all day and awake at night. I used to do that when I did preload and hated it.
I went from pkg to 22.3 to pkg to feeders back to package all in 6 years.So here in new england it can be done.Being in feeders at the bottom of the list blows!!!!!!!!!Nights is awful.Happy to be back on days in pkg.

How many years of full time seniority did you have when you went into feeders? It was more than 6 years wasn't it? Quite a bit more I'm sure.I went from pkg to 22.3 to pkg to feeders back to package all in 6 years.So here in new england it can be done.Being in feeders at the bottom of the list blows!!!!!!!!!Nights is awful.Happy to be back on days in pkg.
