    Oh, it’s a lot more drivers than that. Some terminals have already put on more than that, and are still hiring.

    I honestly don’t know one way or the other how it works. I was a street hire. But yes, at those smaller terminals, Feeder is considered a retirement gig. Something you do toward the end of your career.

    I don't know how people can slip seat in a sleeper truck. No way you could ever pay me enough to do that.

    UPS Freight and truckload was basically just a rebranding of the old Overnite Transportation which Union Pacific sold to UPS back in 2005-06.

    They sold UPS Freight, which was like...you know how FedEx has FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight? Same deal.

    That seems to me to be good way to wind up with all sorts of creeping crud following you home. :eek:

    Yes that's what I was thinking. @LtlAnonymous mentioned packing but I wasn't talking about packing in my post. I'm talking about cleanliness. People's comfort of cleanliness or definitions of clean vary too wildly from person to person. I hate slip seating in a daycab (which I just started doing for the first time) due to the cleanliness issues but I refuse to slip seat in a sleeper birth. Because a sleeper birth is your living space. I just couldn't do it. Like I said you couldn't pay me enough lol.
