Ups freight

Road Driver and Linehaul is the same thing. It's just the title of the position you applied for. Most LTL companies will list their Linehaul position as Road Driver, just like they would list their P&D position as City Driver.

 

Make sure that the job(s) are both with UPS Freight, not UPS package. Unless that is what you want.

Other than that, linehaul and full time road driver should basically mean the same thing here at UPS freight UNLESS they mean OTR road driver.

In that case, you may want to investigate further, because yes in this case "road driver" means something different, much different than linehaul driver.

 

It could be ups freight (line haul) and ups freight truckload (road driver).

 

One thing I never knew, is what a feeder driver is. I think its a parcel job, right? Do they only run the doubles from warehouse to warehouse, kinda like a ups freight linehaul driver? Or do they do city work as well, like going to different factories that have dropped trailers?

 

Feeders pull doubles, triples, and long boxes to other warehouses. Lots of out and back. The small cities may take one trailer to one location then another. Usually they'll pick up another loaded set and return home. This is not UPSF. I worked at parcel for a couple of years when I started out.

 

Ok. So I know like most LTLs. Ups freight has city and road drivers. So at ups parcel, everyone is just called feeder drivers? No matter what you do?

 

Feeders are the tractor trailer drivers. Package car drivers are who you see delivering around the neighborhood during the day. I can't comment on UPSF but id imagine city is like any other LTL P&D and the latter is more linehaul.

 

I have a buddy who is a feeder (Parcel) driver, and he does both. He starts at 7pm and does a switch at a customer we go to on the west side, brings his loaded trailer back, then takes a set of doubles up to Toledo and brings a set back. He gets paid hourly for the whole night.
