Default Any suggestions welcomed!!!

Hello to all!! I know you guys prolly get tired replying to us newbies, but I would appreciate some suggestions on how to work my way up to flying for a major cargo airline such as FedEx or UPS. I know a lot of you guys have been down this road already and I would just like to hear from some of you any ideas you might have. I have been a private pilot since I was 18 and have been flying for 3 years now. I am currently working full time right now to save money for school next semester. I am going to an 4 year aviation school/college in Killeen, Texas (Tarleton State University) and have 2 1/2 years left. I should finish my instrument through commercial MEL and CFII by the time I graduate. My guess is I'll have around 400-450 TT with around 25-35 hours Multi when I graduate. I was wondering where you guys think I should start/be qualified to build up some time at. Are there other ways to build time without being a flight instructor? I know that I need to build all the multi time/time I can get, turbine time especially. Does it help to fly for a company that is subcontracted out by FedEx or UPS for the increased possibility that I could get an interview with one of them down the road? Flying nights and working crazy hours is all worth it to me, just let me know what ya think. Thanks!!!
