Paternity leave FEEDERS

[Rick Ross]

Then why would you take a full-time job that's going to keep you away from your family. With dot hours you're not going to be able to work many legal hours landscaping if you're in driving in feeders. Disregarding those rules will probably open you up to liability issues and put your families business at risk.

The perfect job for someone self-employed is working part-time at UPS. You don't make much money but the benefits and eventually the pension will more than compensate you for the time you put in.

Oops, I see it's a part-time feeder cover driver.

I'm not sure what that is since we don't have them but it would seem the busy time for that would also be the busy time for landscaping.

In feeders, at least after a while, you can have some say in the time you start your shift. I started out on nights like most do, and it worked out for me. I actually saw my kids more while I worked nights in feeders than when I was working 12 hour days in Pkg. I ate dinner every night with the family before I left, and even tucked the kids in as well. It is definitely a whole 'nother way of life than what you're used to.

I feel for this guy. Unfortunately if he wants to provide for his family he might have to miss the birth of his child.

First kid?


If not he's seen it before. Lol

It's just as special the second time, especially if you don't know the sex beforehand.

Is feeder really that hard to get into? I've been driving two years and already passed on it til next year

Took me 25 years so you tell me.

 

[Johney]

Both times I was in the way.

I'm not surprised.

My parents didn't pay for my college tuition so that won't be a worry of mine and I don't need UPS feeders to make $100000 a year my dad and I run a landscaping company so I can stay part time and make $30000 a year and make $70000 through my company. I just think it's a good opportunity to have a job like that

I have a reputable business that was started by my grandfather in the 60s. So my name is know around the city. My dad was making double what a feeder driver was making in his prime I think I'll survive

If this is true, pass on feeders and stay part time for your bennies.

We my plan was to hire 1 or 2 guys that would help my dad out and still profit some while working feeders. I don't have to worry about the liability of the business because my dad will be there at all times since it's also his company.

I meant liability caused by working too many landscaping hours and violating dot hours of service. If UPS finds out you will be in big trouble, if you have an accident at UPS and it somehow is made known you were violating dot rules with your second business I would assume a good lawyer would go after your personal assets.

I have no legal expertise, just assuming they would try to take everything you have if something terrible happened and you were somehow at fault.

Good luck!

Go the feeder class, it you pass it up then it's gone... and you can always make another baby

 

[Analbumcover]

I already told my wife that when she goes into labor, I'll be driving down a dirt road somewhere in the middle of a cornfield trying to deliver a 70lb. set of diesel exhaust. Call mom!

 

[Indecisi0n]

How many times do I have to say it, don't have kids.

 

[Shift]

Well I talked to our general manager and feeders supervisor and from what they've told me so far is that they will hold off of trying until a week after the baby is born. So all I have to do is make sure I get my permit and have a clean driving record and I'm good to go.

 

[Shift]

Also they explained to me that a part time cover feeder driver is pretty much the same a any normal cover driver for feeders or in the hub they just label it that way so part time employees can sign the list. We should get the same pay. The only thing that confuses me is the hours. It seems like the won't work us but maybe a week out the month. Mostly when some one takes a lay off or vacation. Is this what normal cover drivers do or do they work daily
