[QUOTE="Anonymous Gearjammer, post: 111961"] Here we have like you said several feeder drivers that signed the feeder school bid a.s.a.p. including myself. Anyways we do not have classification seniority here so we are stuck waiting oddly enough about 27 years full-time to get a road run. Then high seniority pkg car drivers decide to jump into feeders bumping everyone under them down. Different from pkg car here where if you get lucky and win a good pkg car job right away you can retire on it. How would pkg car drivers like it if any full-time employee outside pkg car went into pkg car and could pick the pkg route of their choice of any junior employee initiating a bumping sequence. I know they have served their time and most are nice and become friends, however the initial stinging feeling each time one comes in is hard to ignore, fell 25 spots last year alone. Not sure if this is what you were getting at by your statement dammor. As for waving sometimes the other driver may be checking mirrors or gauges and not notice the other driver waving in time to wave back, have also notice that whenever I see a pkg car driver from an extended center that they always wave, versus the ones from our hub that usually only wave if they know you. Maybe it's the country effect, kinda like driving in Texas where most passerby's wave or tip their hat. [/QUOTE]
