[QUOTE="Donatin5, post: 1592287, member: 58065"] Awesomeness, Thanks for the responses, much appreciated :cool: Silenze- Yea the "on call" part was a little change of direction from what I was expecting, to be full-time I guess, but that's okay and yeah, ha, he pretty much summed up exactly what you said about getting terminated at the end. I definitely wouldn't be expecting to be super lucky enough to get hired on permanent at the end, and its funny one of the other guys there thought it was a permanent gig despite the job title saying 'seasonal' - so he was put off pretty quick. I saw two drivers in package cars on my way out there and both looked like seasoned vets, especially the lady with the terminator glasses. MC- Thanks for the warm welcoming and additional insight, and from what you said it definitely sounds like it varies from place to place on how they send seasonal drivers out on the road by themselves. That's also cool to hear about getting a ride along with a supervisor, that's nice to hear to have someone with experience will be able to call out mistakes and help point stuff out and stuff. Yeah it didn't sound like the center I went to had Orion setup. One last question- Do drivers who go out on new routes "cold" usually get that route printed out on paper to use for general navigation before departing? [/QUOTE]
