[QUOTE="Notretiredyet, post: 1088775, member: 44381"] Whenever a PT tells me they're thinking about going into driving I tell them to apply for a SVD or PT air driver position. It's a good way to get a feel for what the job is about and to gain experience driving and using the DIAD. Then when a FT position does come up you'll have a fighting chance to gain seniority. Going straight into FT driving is a lot more difficult these days coming directly from an inside job, convinced my preloader last year to take the SVD job bid last summer that nobody wanted. It paid less than air driver wage but he took the cut in pay for the chance to gain experience and qualify to drive. When a permanent FT driver position came up in the fall he took it and was immediately qualified for the job, much to the surprise of the center manager who thought he could put him thru another 30 day qualifying period.
