[QUOTE="xracer, post: 213871, member: 2209"] Here in Upstate NY a feeder driver makes $0.15/hr more than a package car driver and in addition to that you receive an additional $0.35/hr for hauling doubles, triples are not allowed where I am from and the doubles are only double 28's, that gives a feeder driver a pay difference of $0.50/hr over a package car driver. The real difference in pay comes from the extra overtime that you get, a package car driver gets maybe 48 hours on a good week while most feeder drivers are in jeopardy of going into violation on a weekly basis by pushing 60 hours this slight difference in pay scale combined with the additional hours worked means approx another $30k a year for the feeder driver. In our center we have 20 feeder routes and just shy of 30 package car routes. Day routes are possible here in feeders if you are within the top five in seniority of which I happen to be number 4 so if you don't mind the additional hours yes you can be knocking on the door of making a $100,000/year as a feeder driver and with the next raise in Aug clearing that amount. The job is much easier than that of a package car driver but can be excruciatingly boring if you have an over the road route and not a CPU route. [/QUOTE]
