Your a temp there is no seniority list for TEMPS to get hired on as a FT driver if someone told you that your next take that with a grain of salt because it might or might not happen. There is a 6 to 1 inside to out side hire ration and the one outside spot could go to a PT SUP, another Temp besides you, or just someone else off the street.
Just because you have been a Temp for 6 years doesn't really mean you have a better chance of getting hired on FT than a Temp that been there less. For temps they want production, people that show up, don't bitch and don't get hurt.
Just my two cents....
To me, it didn't read like he's been a temp for 6 years. It read like he has been a part time inside employee for 6 years and has been working as a reg temp driver since October.
Reg Temps work "as needed" Jun-first 2 full weeks of Jan. Reg Temp drivers in my area are guaranteed 8 hours of work if they are told to report to work. Check your supplement at the Teamsters website. You have to say, "I want to work today", you could ask drivers if they want to go home and take a route blind, you could help with air or shuttle work. Or, you could call the center in the a.m. to verify whether or not you are working.
Reg Temps can be laid off until further notice, at which point they would work their part time shift. They may only drive a day or week here and there or just peak during the entire temp season. They may drive almost everyday the entire temp season.
A reg temp working consistently, along with a part time shift and possibly running airs during the week or on Saturday can make a decent yearly wage along with helping you get a good feel for the job before committing to friend/T.
