OP, the full time position is not 100% guaranteed. You still have to qualify. It's hard but not impossible. Keep pushing for your family and u should be fine.
Instead of worrying about getting 40hrs, read through the help qualifying threads.
Once you qualify, the first 2 years is feast or famine so always budget accordingly. As a full time employee you can work inside on days you are not driving.
Good luck qualifying! Eat ramen if you must!

You need to work 5 days a week every week for the next six weeks from your start date to hit 30 days. Miss one day and you ain't hitting 30 before oct 15.

Absolutely..I have all of the DOK memorized, been trying to find any info on the Diad, everything I can do to find out how to qualify I've been doing. Thanks for the tips!

I'm going to ask if I can do 6 days a week if possible to try and make it.

Not gonna happen because other full time drivers need to work before you. They will try to fit you in to qualify. Most trainees don't work Saturday or Monday.
It's going to suck but hang in there. It's worth the bullsh:t

Guess I won't even ask then. That's good to know so I don't get laughed at.

If they've told you Tues-Sat I'd count on that. Mondays are really slow around here. But offering to help shows your willingness and that helps a lot when trying to qualify.

I'll definitely offer to help. I fully know what I'm getting into. I know it's run like the military, it's hard work, and I feel like the benefits for my family and the top pay will make it all worth it.

Yes but when you make seniority don't work so damn hard! I keep trying to teach my husband this! But until then if you really want this...you're their bitch.

He's qualifying. Once qualified he will work tues-sat.
Around here, Saturday dispatch combines 2-3 routes. Highly doubt they will have him try to scratch a Saturday.
But it is ups...

Hey friendo, I'm in a similar boat as you in that I started working a couple weeks ago after driver training class, stuck in local sort because "not enough supervisors to train all the new drivers" or so they say, and I'm really getting mixed signals about what counts toward seniority (does local sort count, or just driving days? On here it sounds like local sort doesn't count, but at my center I'm told it does), what my hours will be driving this peak (on here I'm hearing about possibly not driving at all and/or getting laid off after peak, but at my center I'm hearing 60 to 80 hours during peak and "don't worry" about getting laid off), among other things.
So yeah, lots of conflicting information, basically I'm just going to do my darndest and hope for the best.
I can give you a helpful tidbit-- I think--- Did you say you already did the driver training class, or heading there soon? In any case, if you have the DOK memorized, that's great. I wouldn't worry too much about the DIAD, that thing seemed pretty self-evident once I started using it (during class, mind you, it may be more tricky in the real world).
Anyway, good luck.
