[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 3125015, member: 48469"] Nah, TCD first. Get that training outta the way while your center/area is resourced to do it quickly. You'll train at a local class and not have to risk getting disqualified for some stupid thing at Integrad. I saw guys behind me get kicked back into preload for super dumb Integrad reasons. Pay difference is about $24-25/hr for TCDs vs $13ish to start where I am. First day of exception air gets your 2 year clock rolling to a top rate of around $27/hr. You won't have TCD layoff days during peak season and it'll keep you out of preload. Peak preload sucks :censored:. 9-10 hours inside. You wouldn't wanna exception air after that anyway. TCDing also has you out on area with the regular full time drivers who you'll be working with to make sure everything in your loop (area) gets delivered. You build relationships and it's just another work day when you finally do go full time. And you'll learn more about the job and learn it faster than you would doing a little air on the side. So TCD now through January 15. Then go back to your sort and run exception air before or afterward (and Saturday air if you want) as needed. If an air bid opens up, take that to get out of your inside sort. Next summer, go back to TCD'ing when seasonals can run again on June 1. Run as many days as you can. Get 6 weeks in 90 days outside of peak season and you red circle at your TCD pay rate when you go full time (which you do not have to re-train for). Would normally take 3 years to get to TCD rate. So you make TCD rate until you hit top rate in year 4. Much better than working your way up from $18.xx. [/QUOTE]
