Temporary Cover Driver pay is 85% of top wage in the Southern Region. It was $28.65 before our last August raise, so it's $29 and change now. If you get through your packet (delivering ground, 30 working within 120 calendar days) before going full time you will stay at 85% through progression to top rate.
Full time starting wage is $18.75 for off the street and new FT drivers that have not yet qualified. Four year trip to top rate.
I highly recommend you find a contract book and read it.
