[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1258655, member: 36696"] Little bit different Feeder perspective as I went in after 20+ in delivery. I am very fortunate as I was only on the Q list for 2 weeks before I bidded on an open job. I have a 4 day run T,W,T,friend off S,S,M. 3 day weekend...every week! Punch in at 4:30am drive 4.25 hours through the mountains of Pa, Md, & Wv, wait for my meet guy for about an hour or so and take 45 min lunch (and a nap if he is late). Swap loads and drive the 4.25 hours back. Punch out 4:30pm so about an 11.25 paid day 4 days a week for 45 hours total. friendg Awesome! Extra day off compared to delivery. Slightly more $$$ than delivery. New equipment compared to delivery. Home by 5. No nights. No traffic on my run. Literally only the UPS people I deal with is my meet guy. I havnt seen my direct supe or manager in 4 weeks. Only bad thing is winter in the Alleghany Mountains can be pretty bad at times. Only have had one bad day so far. I made it through fine but one of our guys jackknifed that day and seeing that happen really makes you realize it's not all fun and gravy in Feeders. You trade the physical abuse for a huge amount of responsibility that requires constant focus and attention for an extended period of time. It's not for everyone but if you are up to the task it is the shizzle! :D Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
