[QUOTE="Sammie, post: 215527, member: 8657"] I think in many cases it starts with mgmt and dribbles downhill from there; mgmt in pkgs and feeders are always at odds with each other because the two departments are charged with time and money when something happens and nobody wants to explain a black mark. If pkgs miss the twilight sort, was it the package driver's fault? Was it the local feeder pick up driver's fault? It's always finger pointing time. And this mentality affects the drivers themselves. The work and the mind set of these two types of drivers is so different. The guy around here was in pkgs for 5 yrs and currently in feeders for 27. The work is still hard but just different in both groups and there might be more camradarie in feeders. You often go out together in groups and when you do there's somebody to help you chain up, etc. But as far as pkg drivers not liking feeder drivers or the other way around, you guys don't have to be enemies.:sad: Hubby went on a motorcycle trip all around Colorado this past week with 10 other pkg and feeder (and supervision... don't tell...) guys. We often rent a lodge for the night in the mountains during the winter with pkg, feeder and mechanic families and we have annual summer picnics together. It's all in what you choose to make of it. :wink: [/QUOTE]
