[QUOTE="35years, post: 2952242, member: 60822"] Just to let you know... I have known several drivers who started in pkg, went to feeders and have come back. Strait from a feeder drivers mouth (who came from pkg)... -Is feeders easier on your body? [B]Yes[/B] -Do feeder drivers deal with less crap from management? [B]Yes[/B] -Is it better for family life? [B]No[/B], and he said don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The messed up, and long hrs will not allow most feeder drivers see their kid's activities. Around here unless you have 30+ years in you will be bouncing around for start times and your internal clock will be seriously messed up. Other places may be different. I have heard it from more than one feeder driver that switching to feeders will stress your married life and it is not good if you have kids in school. I know some one will now respond that they see their kids more now that they are in feeders etc. etc. It may be true for a few, but talk to more than a few and some that have come back to pkg as well. Some try to rationalize their decisions. Make an informed choice. Consider your family, which hours you will work and how much your start time changes. It will definitely be easier on your body.
