Anyone else seeing a HUGE increase full time jobs?

What area?

Atlanta Area

 

[AKupser]

I noticed there are 4 different types of feeder positions available out of Portland, OR. Gonna see if my center manager will help me get into one of them! wish me luck!!

 

[barnyard]

Mpls area has FT bids hung in all the metro centers. Plus they are adding 70 feeders.

Wierd. 4 ft driver positions 2 feeder. And 4 vacation cover driver bids up within the last 2 monts. Never seen any thing like it. Makes me nervous. Something's up with it.

12 in my center, with 15 up for the building. At least 5 package drivers going into feeders, and word is a few more spots coming up, so I get to make that leap. I'm done with package!

We probably haven't hired but 2 drivers in five years. Now we're getting 13. I'm so glad to see it!

I'm really shocked they are hiring this many people before the contract ratifies.

Talked to my boss on Friday and they are adding a bunch of newbies and was wondering if they could use my route as a training route since I will be out for another couple of months. When I get back I won't recognize anyone.

My old building needs at least nine new drivers before peak. Problem is, no PT's want it and the off-streets quit within a month.

 

[gman042]

Perhaps 5 routes to bid. We were told the other day that 3 more full timers were being hired. For our center that is exceptional.

 

[Rainman]

Hiring 15 permanent new drivers , plus steady training of temps probably through the end of the year.

 

[Dragon]

We are hiring...cannot bring them on fast enough.

 

[Cementups]

They are attempting to train 450 drivers out of our building before peak for all over the district. Integrad can't keep up, so HARPA is helping out.

 

[Dragon]

Had to DQ 2 already, thought we were going to just hand them the job. Not gonna burden the center with their drama for next 30 years.

Whats the reason for the hiring spree?

 

[Jackburton]

We just had a bid up for 10 cover drivers (pt drivers that cover as needed) and promoted 2-5 covers to FT just last week. This is out of the Roswell building in local 728, different than 728's building.

Whats the reason for the hiring spree?

Economy is picking up around here and neighborhoods are selling out like mad. I got 3 new subdivisions going in on my route alone, this is in the Cumming/Alpharetta area.

Is also like to mention no one has retired in over two years here.

 

[barnyard]

Volume is growing.

 

[MethodsMan]

Maybe the point of Orion was because there is going to be more cars on the road?

Wishful thinking?

 

[barnyard]

Probably going to be one of the best times in recent history for off the street people to get a shot at FT. It sounds like PT people will not fill all the FT bids in the Maple Grove building.
