[QUOTE="purplesky, post: 1019029, member: 23628"] Yes seniority is the biggest factor in feeders because UPS is eliminating runs where possible using contractors and the railroads and they are streamlining just like in Package car with the new system. They are also cutting paid hours down to 8 on many runs. SO IF YOU CANT LIVE WITHOUT OVERTIME YOU WILL NOT LIKE FEEDERS. Low seniority feeder guys are trying to get to package to make more money and are tired of being on-call. To really learn the job 2 years is about right. UPS feeder drivers do shifting,airport runs, triples, doubles,53s,rail runs,local pickups,ect. You will learn it all fast unless you have 30 years going in to sit on a mileage run and hold bid. If your body and mind can still handle package staying put to build seniority is the way to go. The Gardener pretty much nailed it with his post.:smart: [/QUOTE]
