[QUOTE="Leonin, post: 1187524, member: 49263"] I've read a lot here about how swing positions are a bad idea for employees. I'm curious if after a year, would a FT swing driver be put in "group 2" (jcats) on a regular Courier/DOT position? If so, that would make me kind of nervous about accepting swing. A little bit about me: Going on 7 years at the Memphis hub. Currently a Dangerous Goods Agent. I don't mind being a DGA, but I would like to become full time. Unfortunately, full time positions at the hub are nearly nonexistent. On the rare occasion of one opening up, there can literately be hundreds of people who out rank me. Thus, I've been checking out FT jobs outside of Memphis... really anywhere. Single with no kids or anything keeping me tethered here. So anyway, I've noticed I have a lot better chance landing FT positions elsewhere if I wanted to become a courier. Swing positions in particular, and I assume because they are less desirable... but in order to get my foot in the door on full time positions might be worth it? Thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
