I’m still in my qualifying period. I’ve got the diad down, the stop car routine and all that down pretty well. My area and route knowledge is not too bad. The only thing bothering me is my damn knees. I always thought that when i got this opportunity, that i would run with it for 25 years and 4 weeks in and i can’t walk with my daughter in my arms. I have enough seniority to go back in the building and go feeders which i know isn’t exactly a walk in the park either. Am I insane to give this up?
Leaving PC driving a bad decision? “On Topic”

i think anyone with enough seniority is crazy for not going into feeders, especially if their body is failing

You would have to qualify in package first and have at least 1 year of safe driving before making the move.
Just be sure it’s your knees stopping you and not little @Mesomorph (D. Randall Blythe’s new user name) baby legs that could be strengthened on the job or in the gym.
Isn’t that only if I’m a full time package driver? I’m saying, go back into the hub and go for feeders instead..

If you self DQ now you may have to wait at least a year.
I’m sure it’s my knees because I’ve always had issues even when I was a kid. Born with
ty knees I guess, I don’t know.I know I’m DQ’d from any package car list for 2 years if I DQ myself. But i don’t know of any limitations to sign a feeder one.

Yep, can’t beat genetics. Have seen guys in their 20s having all sorts of issues and runner gunner guys in their 50s like our lord and savior @UpstateNYUPSer with no pain or problems.

Here, generally you need a year safe driving in pc to bid into feeder.
I think that only applies to full time pc drivers.. I’m still qualifying so I’m not considered full time yet

And PT or FT air driving does not count for safe driving. I have seen Art 22.3 Air drivers who were former package car drivers not allowed to bid into Feeders because they did not have a previous years safe driving in package car.

It really depends where you and since we don't then you will get different answers
In southern Cali to go feeder you have to at least drive one year package safely
