How do I become a feeder driver?

[MaceFremonti]

I NEVER thought during my first 20+ years in delivery that I would go into feeders. However the insane micro mamagement, constantly rising stop counts, and just general craziness of delivery eventually caused me to make the jump. If delivery had stayed the way it was up until about 2010 or so I would still be there.

...I want to make a career out of ups, being a feeder driver more specifically. Not just because of the money either, how do I go about becoming a feeder driver?...

By going to ABF.

Don't do drugs.

Try over at Consolidated Freight.

I believe the minimum driving ages at UPS are 21 for package and 25 for Feeder.

You usually become fat after you've become a feeder driver.

And it still goes by seniority. If you are fat, lazy and slow, they may find another way to get rid of you before your seniority allows you to get into feeders.

Skinny, lazy and slow will be the same thing. I only mentioned fat because you mentioned it. I know many fat package drivers that will run rings around most skinny drivers.

They may not be able to run, but don't have to and should not.

Walk at a brisk pace. Even easy for a fat guy. Or should I be politically correct and say a weight challenged guy.

weight not correct for height!

Not overweight. Just undertall.
