[QUOTE="feeder53, post: 340205, member: 13283"] I too feel for those that work in those hot trailers and dock areas....That is where they chose to work. I started out in the trucking industry delivering referidgerators for Sears, Wards and Large furniture for Macy`s. I had the worst truck in the fleet and a helper just out of high school that weighed about 80 pounds, talk about a tough time as the customer watches so you do not scratch the walls or the appliance as you are going to the third floor. I have spend a lot of time driving a set of doubles (Big ones) through snow and ice and see other trucks off the road.....feeders is not as easy as one may think. This past winter for the last big storm of the year I was called by UPS to do a feeders run at the height of the storm. I had never been to any of the terminals and had worked all day at my full time job. There were trucks off the road and accidents all over the place......I did my job and got the runs done. I was on another run earlier in the winter and crested a hill in Willsboro N.Y. on my way to Plattsburgh and the road going down the backside was solid ice.........We are all a team, we all have tough jobs and that is the bottom line is we all have a piece to this puzzle......
