In my department, dispatchers were all full time, yard controllers were all PT. Perhaps dispatch to on road might be a lateral move. ? Might be some extra $$$ if your drivers hit certain incentives. The on roads I know in feeders (I've known quite a few in the 29 years I spent in feeders) love the job. They really enjoy setting their own hours. Schedule your rides to your benefit. Put in your required hours and make it a long weekend. A lot less stress than sitting in the chair. I'd sure get something in writing before I made the change, tho. Do you have the option of turning the move down? If you do, you know you're probably stuck for a long long time. Good luck.
