[QUOTE="brett636, post: 846337, member: 249"] As far as locals go the 81st building is under the jurisdiction of local 135(even though our pension is through local 710). I don't know what steps would be necessary for you to transfer locals in order to work here, but calling the local 135 hall on shelby street would be a good start. Anywho, as far as driving positions go, the only department I know of that you have any chance of getting into off the street is the feeder department. They just hired some 15 feeder drivers off the street, and the rumor that has been going around is by early fall they plan on bringing in another 20 or so drivers. The feeder department is driving the semis so you would need your CDL along with atleast a few years of driving experience under your belt before they would even think about hiring you. Also it helps to become a seasonal driver(seasonal periods are may 1 through labor day, and November and December) and keep your nose clean in order for them to consider you for a permanent hire as that is where all of our "off the street" hires came from. As far as delivery goes they have brought on a few new drivers to replace those who went into feeders or retired, but I don't know of many off the street hires or seasonal drivers brought on permanent. Again your best bet there is to try to become a summer and or peak seasonal help driver and keep coming back till they quit asking you or bring you on permanently. Just keep in mind the inside versus outside hire ratio is 1:6 so when it comes to delivery they will probably stick to this ratio. Anyway, I hope this helps and feel free to ask me any more questions that you may have. [/QUOTE]
