NO. The first day you work as a Driver is considered you promoted day. In my case it was the first day I went to driving school just like it should be.
So I am taking a cut in pay to become a driver?

Are you a Seasonal driver or a cover driver, part time ?
if so, then you get pay cut down to $16.10.
Did you win a bid for a Perminent full time driver ?
If so, then you should stay @ your previous top rate pay position till the driver progression rate is more then your previous rate.
Make sure you know what you bid into. The seasonal or part time cover isn't worth it unless you can't make a secondary income .
My part time position and side work makes me far more $ then doing part time cover and I'm home alot earlier and not ticked off bought a pay cut and late home arrivals.
Also, taken the lesser driver positions just gives them another reason not to open a Perm. Full time higher pay driver bid.
The way I C it, if they want me to Deal with the B.S. of Full time as a bottom guy being bounced around to a different crap route daily then I want real pay. Especially if you have good area knowledge and good knowledge of Full time service then you are worth more then the seasonal temp position.

I don't know why you wouldn't stand there and ask for a broom, if they want to say you have no work. No trying to be rude, but you are FT then you are guaranteed 8 hours a day. That guarantee states nothing about what you will be doing. Remember that. Do not contact them until you are standing there in browns ready for work.

Pretty sure I am not classified as FT until after my first 30 days.

Nope. You accepted the assignment of a FT driver. You have to work 30 out of the first 90 days to get out of probation. Nothing in there about driving. Start sweeping, if they don't have a truck. Demand your contractual guarantee, they won't hand it to you.
