    Couldn't agree more. Package Car is the hardest job at UPS with the exception of the kids you see loading and unloading trailers. We normally won't see a package car driver in feeders until they have around 10-15 years. After that time the body starts to break down (back and knees) and they want to do something else. I have a lot of respect for those guys. I couldn't do the job they do.

    I tried looking for feeder drivers on UPS website, is that the name of the postion or is it something different? I'm looking in either FL or NC. If someone can post a link to the jobs that would be great.

    Sometimes the "tractor trailer driver" jobs are for freight so you have to read it carefully if you're looking for parcel. Most of the feeder jobs on there say seasonal.

    Must depend on the area then. All the UPD freight jobs around here are listed as either road driver or city driver. But you're right, def read the description. It will say whether it's freight or not.

    From someone who works as a feeder driver. The jobs for UPS parcel feeder drivers at listed as tractor trailer drivers. The UPS Freight jobs are listed as road driver positions. Geographic location makes no difference. Those are the titles.

    Full time ups feeder drivers have the holy grail of truck driving. BUT it takes forever to get in full time. Keep pushing and you'll get kn but you have to put up with a lot. Getting called in at 8 pm and getting asked to come in at 930. It will be like that for at least 4-5 years to get in full time. At least

    $35 an hour, OT after 8 & 40, $100 annual deductible on health insurance and a pension. Oh and don't forget about those attractive brown shorts. Women sure don't.
