[QUOTE="pickup, post: 3013435"] Ok, let me add some info so that you can have a more educated decision. You need 30 working days in a certain calendar period to be kept on permanently. Where I am at , it is 30 in 60 calendar days. We also have a freeze period during which working days don't count for squat. That period around here is oct 15 to Jan 10. So with your start date of Sept 5, Tuesday, and if you work 4 days that week and 5 days a week afterwards, you will have only accumulated 29 working days before the freeze period. So you are what they call a casual driver and they will work you all the way until Christmas and then not need you. Sure there is a chance of you getting hired permanently. There is also a far better chance that you won't . There is also a 6 to 1 ratio of hiring for full time PERMANENT drivers. 5 guys from the hub get the chance before you or any other casual gets the permanent slot. You probably weren't told this during your interviews. [/QUOTE]
