[QUOTE="formymax, post: 768402, member: 28756"] Oh, it exists and it is indeed called the Feeder Department. Unfortunately the OP's story [U]is[/U] the norm. I was a hard working driver for many years in one of the most crime ridden parts of the country. After coming to feeders, I was shocked to see what the OP described on a regular basis. I would like to see drivers like the OP, if the company chooses to give them their jobs back, be banned from feeders. As I have seen it, the dispatch segment of the department is broken. At their discretion, a dispatcher (equivalent to an OMS clerk) doles out extra assignments, unscheduled work and overtime. If a driver takes the time to develop a "personal" relationship with the dispatchers (i.e. stand around on the clock, BS and mostly talk about other drivers) they can write their own ticket - regardless of seniority or job performance. The drivers who make the most money, get assignments of their choosing and drive their choice of equipment are the ones always just "hanging" around. These drivers are also some of the worst performers on paper - go figure. Feeders is the easiest job in the company. The way management treats you is like night and day compared to delivery supervisors. Yet, there are a few that still try to "work" the system. Please, make it easy on all of us and just do your job.
