[QUOTE="StopCount, post: 459194, member: 16640"] Find someone that is already a feeder driver to teach you how to shift this weekend. If you pick that up quick enough then have them walk you through a normal day; pre-trip, build a set, break down a set... Don't make any plans for the next two weeks. You will need all the time you can get to memorize space/vis and feeder knowledge. Find out as early as possible what the road test is like in your state and what the automatic disqualification items are. Practice your pre-trip road test wording over and over as much as possible before the test. Ask if you can practice building sets the weekend before your production week. Ask if you can come in early the day of your road test to practice the backing tests. Most feeder drivers are very helpfull, take their advice. Feeder training is a lot harder than package training and you only get two weeks to learn it all so don't waste any time. Feeder Supervisors are your friend and want you to succeed, its not like package so be nice to them and respectful at all times. They know a lot and have been trained well and at the end of the two weeks they decide if you are capable enough to even take the road test or to be a feeder driver. Not everyone passes the road test on their first try so it's not the end of the world if you don't... Good luck! [/QUOTE]
