[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 2102876, member: 48469"] It's a sweet gig if you don't need to make that FT money and would be fine with a good hourly top rate and benefits. Easier on the body too. AM air driving can be a little hectic if you're heavy on Early AMs and get back to center later than you'd like to load up your Next Day Air and get that delivered by the commit time. Have to know exactly how much of your NDA needs to be axed and put on another driver or sups if no drivers are available. PM air driving is generally super easy but you typically won't get as many hours in on your route as you would in the morning. Either beats the snot out of a late night or early morning inside job. Just depends on what your needs and interests are. In any case, seek out air exception work after your sort if you're a preloader or on a Saturday as soon as possible. Gets the 2 year clock to air exception top rate running from your first punch. Where I am, every 4 days of air exception you run for the 2 year period immediately prior to winning a [U]bid[/U] air job banks you a month of progression toward [U]bid air driver[/U] top rate. It's possible to be at top rate for air exception work but then be knocked back down to however far your banked air exception days got you towards bid progression. [/QUOTE]
