[QUOTE="Leon, post: 3434480, member: 71761"] Hi all, I work pt local sort at an extended center, since March 2016. With the intention of going full-time pc asap. First, began air driving in Sept. '16. Then have been seasonal driver, now single-day cover driver. Averaged 30hrs/wk last year. I'm single with minimal expenses so it fits my lifestyle well. So, they say there is a full-time bid coming next month. I'm next in line. The only apprehension I have is if the bid has a feeder requirement. I'd rather not sign-up for that but am willing to play-ball if they force me to. Not sure I'm comfortable hauling doubles or the big rig in general, but would have to think about it. Anyway, my question is (with the contract looming) should I sign the next bid no matter if it has a feeder requirement and make book asap? Start 4 yr progression, etc. Or should I wait it out until they post a full-time pc only (the benefit being my air progression will be top-rate sept '18 which I understand would then cut off two years of ft pc progression?) Is this correct? Considering the upcoming contract what do you recommend? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
