This will vary depending upon the volume in your area after Peak. If you are in a growth area this may very well be true. If you are not and there are employees that have been laid off than this may very well not be true.
I would make employment plans elsewhere if I were you.

We were sending people home before they brought back the laid off. Then they brought on eight temps--last night they had a class tour with sixty people. Where the heck will they stuff them?

They won't stuff them anywhere. They have to hire so many here because the attrition rate is terrible. Most quit after only getting 2 or 3 hours a day when they were led to believe that they would work 8 or more a day. Others will quit because they don't get called until 10 days or so before Christmas after they were hired mid November. More yet will quit because after working on a truck, decide that it is not worth the paltry money they are making for working their butts off.
I have seen our center run out of helpers in the days before Christmas after hiring double the amount they ever needed to begin with.

Has anybody had a problem with driver helpers not showing up, and when the center calls them about not making the meet point, they say they have no gas money? Today was the first day I was to have a helper. He didn't show. This is what he told mgmt. They tried to get 2 others and both used the same excuse.
Is this really the sign of the times, or did they not want to work the day before the holiday?

From what I have heard driver helpers can get a inside Job after but it's not likely they want you to work hard that's it

Xmas=Christmas=X-mas=Holidays.
In other words, they are the exact same thing, and stop taking different terms as a personal insult to your religion.

Some people really are that poor, especially those desperate enough to sign up for seasonal driver helper at 8.50/hr.
I was still wary of signing on for it at 12.88/hr! But that's mainly because I work the night sort, when do i sleep, etc.
Most people out there aren't making $30, remember that. lol.
I'm surprised a big bolt of lightening hasn't struck them dead for telling such lies every year
