[QUOTE="JustDeliverIt, post: 4157450, member: 68456"] I started here PT working preload at 30. Did it for over 10 years before I got the opportunity to go out driving FT. Now, I don't think you will have to wait that long in most parts of the country any more, most centers are desperate for drivers. But I doubt you will be FT any time soon and will start as a PT Cover Driver and probably have to wait a few years (2-4 I would guess) before getting a FT opportunity. And that's without introducing the whole idea of a 22.4 driver to you. Even as a PT employee you will get great family coverage health insurance in as little as 3 months in some areas, just depends where you are. This is the only reason I started here. Management might sound nice, but they do pay considerably more in health care from what I'm told. Also, again from what I've seen and heard, management are turning on their own. It's been happening the last few years now and I don't see it getting better for anyone just getting into it. Between the loss of retirement, health care and the fact that the people running this place are willing to squeeze everything to try and please the shareholders. New management is just another source for them to take from and increase the bottom line since you never knew how good they had it. Honestly, use your degree to make money elsewhere and save your body. Don't like to be stuck indoors, take the family camping on the weekends. Do some yard work. No matter what job you do here, you will be committing more time than you ever expected to. If your family is not prepared for that, it can cause problems. Especially if you're home at 5:30 for dinner every night, not going to happen any more. [/QUOTE]
