[QUOTE="ManInBrown, post: 1109047, member: 46614"] Here's what it is going to come down too. I am going to end up doing one of two or three things. And I would love it if I could hear your guy's opinion in which you would pick. Like I said in a previous post I live in the northeast and I applied at my local station last year to go seasonal. Was told by the HR person that it wasnt a smart move. Station at full capacity and drivers aren't leaving. (Hell I wouldnt leave either) LOL. She said she put one guy on from the previous year's seasonal crew. So my first choice is go back this year and do the seasonal at my local station. And hope for the best. Second choice is when I go for the interview at my local station take the package handler position which was also offered last year. Third choice is try to get an interview and get hired at one of these undesirable locations hiring drivers off the street. Like I said before my personal situation would definitely allow me to just pick up and leave and go to one of these locations. But for obvious reasons it is probably the least attractive option. Move to a new place and know no one. Have lived in the northeast my whole life. Yadda yadda yadda. If it was 5-7 years ago choice #2 would be a no brainer. Would have no problem taking the loader job and waiting it out. Still not a problem but at my age it makes it a little tougher. I feel with my experience and route knowlege of the local area I live in it definitely gives me a leg up on other seasonals but if there are no spots there are no spots. I would really love to hear if in my position what some of you guys would do. This is going to happen regardless in the next 6 months. But I have to choose which route I am going to take to try to accomplish it. [/QUOTE]
