temp feeder should get paid the same amount as reg feeders during that period. chance of get a f/t job depend on your location.

You will have first dibbs IF the position is turned down by an hourly... The teamster master agreement says something like for every 6 promoted from within, UPS may hire one person off the street such as you...

If you are asked to stay on after Dec 31, then January 2, 2008 will be the first day of your 30 day probationary period and January 2, 2008 will be your official hire date...
