[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 751667, member: 4568"] The original poster is experiencing something that I think all new feeder drivers do. It's human nature to be resistant to change and want to return to the comfortable old feel of something familiar. I would wager we all felt that way when we started in pkg. car too. I know I did. But in time you become accustomed to the new routine. Many positives to be in feeders. Many of which have been discussed at length on this forum. I think that deciding to quit something new after 3 months is being unfair to yourself. Probably the reason many locals require one, two, or even three year commitments. If it turns out after that time period that you choose to return to pkg. car then by all means do it. It is quite a change from pkg. to feeders. Especially if your supplement requires you to have a different classification seniority date. Going from the top to the bottom can be a shock. You no longer have first choice of vacations, days off etc. And most of the time you will not have a run of your own. You will be working off the cover board and many times be on call. All things that require some time to adapt too. Good luck and give it a little time. A year from now you may look back and laugh at the notion you had to return to pkg. car. [/QUOTE]
