[QUOTE="rocket88, post: 157356, member: 1609"] What is the training and qualification period like for feeders. I am giving it some thought. I am coming off of reconstructive shoulder surgery(on the job,UPS did not contest it) and will be out another 5 to 6 months before Dr. will clear me for unrestricted full-time duty. I am beggining to to have creeping thoughts that I may actually not be able to do my pkg car job and if I can do it,does it mean constant pain and aching and soreness. I have never driven anything larger than a P800 and can't even back up a boat trailer when I go fishing with friends,let alone a 53 footer! Do they actually train you do all the job requires? our building maintains a qualified list for feeders and I understand that there will be a school in the early spring then another in late summer around August(I may be back to work by then) We have about 200 feeder drivers on the board upstairs and about 225 package car drivers split between 3 centers downstairs. My friend/t senority puts me right about 1/2 up the feeder board. What are your thoughts? Should I give it a try? If I don't like it I know too bad. I will be locked into feeders for 3 years and can only bid back down into pkg. cars on a "new opening" utility bid. [/QUOTE]
