14 years??? 16 years??? You guys scare the s*** out of me. I guess I stay put. Even were I work (I walked right into a linehaul position off the street a few years ago) new hires are vac. fill ins for longer and longer now!

Could have made the change a few years ago, but my kids were a little young. Two oldest are in high school now. I took the package/feeder, because there won't be an opening for a long time after the most senior feeder driver in our building retires this July. That is if he doesn't change his mind.

It's pretty fun in feeders. Better on the body. Changing from days to nights is a pain, but I'm getting better at it. Might make it to retirement once I'm in feeders full-time.
