[QUOTE="Northbaypkg, post: 2553406, member: 58387"] Integrity this is one thing I agree with you on. Most of my co-workers and myself didn't choose this job, rather we fell back on it. Myself, I got a seasonal part time job during peak season 97 since they were the first to give me an interview. Was kept on and figured I'd work here and eventually go back to community college. Did just that 3 years later, thinking I'd be able to transfer to a 4 year college and major in engineering. But I messed around too much in community college and ended up dropping out so I could double shift everyday and make enough to move out on my own. Did that and had the most glorious 4 years until the recession hit in 2008. Double shifting became scarce and I was struggling to get by. It was the ultimate reality check that I needed to get a full time position. Trouble was, they stopped offering any full time jobs because of the recession. As a matter of fact, a lot of the newer drivers were forced to come back in the hub because of everyday layoffs. Luckily the economy rebounded and I was able to get the first full time job offered in 4 years in 2012, a driving job. Fast forward to now and I feel like the luckiest jerk off ever for landing this great paying job with excellent benefits. It was truly blind luck. [/QUOTE]
