[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 730984, member: 12508"] I would have still had to do some time throwing boxes before I could even go PC. The advantage of FedEx is that I immediately went full-time in CTV's (our feeders) when hired. Like I said, if I could have afforded to wait, I would have. As a seasonal feeder driver, I quickly learned that feeder was a high-seniority position (at least at my center) and I didn't really want to be a PC driver anyway. At the time, all I wanted to do was drive semis. I'm guessing it would have taken at least 5 years before I could even go PC, also too long to wait based on my finances at the time. Over the years, I've shifted back and forth between RTD (feeder) and courier several times, and I probably couldn't have done that at Brown. At the old Federal Express, the pay differential was always tolerable and there was enough OT available where I could do almost as well as a UPS driver. Those days are long gone. UPS is a much better deal [B]if[/B] you can afford to wait it out. In retrospect, I wish I had done so. [/QUOTE]
