[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4078855, member: 76548"] It used to take 10 years as a cover driver to go full-time, but the guys who've recently gotten FT driving jobs in my area have only waited like 3 to 4 years as a "part-timer", which is coincidentally the amount of time it now takes to go through wage progression to top rate. Even as a part time cover driver, in most centers these days, it's a $50 to $60k job where you're gonna be working 3 days a week between Jan thru May and Sept+Oct and 5 days per week in the summer and during peak. If you are not afraid to work hard, can take a career that demands you work like a near robot, and are willing to sacrifice time at home with family and friends due to workdays that are on average 9am to 730pm you'll be fine. If this sounds like something you can live with - get your foot in the door and start the clock running toward FT and top rate asap. There's a whole slew of package drivers set to retire in the next couple years. It's a great time to get in. [/QUOTE]
