[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4488159, member: 80301"] I just landed a 22.4 also, but Ive been driving as a temp since last peak. HR told me that meant I would be starting at my current rate of $27.14 with a top rate of $37 because Im a qualified temp driver. But I still have to qualify for the 22.4 (which I think will be gravy because management seems to like me and I often beat Orion anyways even on shatty routes, maybe only by a few clicks but still). My understanding is you have to be a 22.4 now before you can become a full time regular driver. I think the only real difference is you get 9.5 protection as a FT driver and as a 22.4 you get shafted and can be worked into the ground. Once youre full time though you can file grievances when they work you over 9.5. I saw the Union reps leaving the center the other day with a bible's worth of grievances of drivers getting paid for that exactly. They said they had already paid out $6000 in grievances last week lol As far as "when" you become a FT driver, it all depends on how many older heads are retiring, how many ppl have accidents and get DQ'ed, fired etc. Youre in line to the FT driver roller coaster just like me. Its our turn when its our turn kind of thing. [/QUOTE]
