[QUOTE="toombi, post: 5692397, member: 87669"] When I was hired to the preload in 2020, I was given a "New Employee Information Packet" in which the terms of my employment were layed out. Once you finish your probationary period you are legit. Here is some of the information my particular packet outlined: . "Probationary Period: . There is a 70 day probationary period (working days not calendar days) during which time, your management team will assess your work ethic and ability to perform the essential functions of the job. . Union Dues/Initiation Fees: . Monthly Dues: <$11.00/hr 2 times hourly pay + $2.00 >$11.00/hr 2.5 times hourly pay + $2.00 Initiation Fee: Union Local [#] initiation fee - $75.00 Union Local [#] initiation fee - <$11.00/hour = $150.00 // >$11.00/hour = $200.00 . Health Care Coverage: . Eligibility Rules: Employees and eligible dependents will have coverage 12 months from the date of hire. Employees must have at least 1 hour of compensable pay in a week in order to be covered that week. Includes: Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription with nothing taken out of our check and no co-pay. Most procedures are covered at 90%. ..." . I see no downside to putting in a letter of intent right off the bat. Just make sure it gets to the guy that is in charge of hiring new drivers.

They have to go down the list in order of seniority.
