[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 177063"] Generally in our hub the groups are as small as 3 or up to 10+ The reason they want you in casual slacks or jeans is because you will be touring the facility, if you notice I think it says boots or work shoes as well. If they are bringing you in at 5:30am you are probably candidates for the preload shift. At our hub this shift starts at 3:30am so you'd be arriving just in time to see the controlled (sometimes) chaos that is the preload. This shift that is in charge of loading the famous brown trucks before they go out for delivery. I wish you the best of luck. If you decide to take the job, of all the shifts I've worked, the preload is the hardest and they really ride you sometimes. However don't let it bother you as they really can't do anything. They'll tell you that you need to load at XX packages per hour (which is a flat out lie, there is no set standard, however until you've got seniority...you should hustle), they'll tell you that you're a bad loader (if thats where you end up on the shift) but if your drivers like you (and most do after you pick up the "art" of loading) again don't sweat it. The reason you will or won't stay will be the people you work with. The constant beatings from the job itself for the peanuts they pay you won't do it. The benefits might keep you a little longer (if you need them), but overall its the people that usually keep you there. Show up on time everyday and make seniority. Then you're all set. [/QUOTE]
