[QUOTE="Artee, post: 4857476, member: 24351"] Its taken us 8 months to fill 9 RTD positions. Only 2 have gotten their license, 1 has failed his drivers test 3 times, 3 are in training and the other 3 will not be here for another month. The applicants either are 1 year employees straight from the ramp or a couple year employee from being a station courier. It used to be a position for more senior employees, but once you get 10+ years under your belt as a courier, there is no way 99% are going to go drive truck working all night and weekends. I am tired of working the OT, but I am not alone in having to pull extra hours. It takes many months to train a new driver to obtain a license and multiple postings to get one hired. New driver at our place will just just about at $19 and top out at $33. It will take you 20+ years to get to top out. If I was not topped out and was a new driver, I would stick around a bit for the experience and then start looking for other opportunities. After a couple $.45 cent raises guys/gals catch on pretty quick that top out is a pipedream. [/QUOTE]
