[QUOTE="hondo, post: 899651, member: 8661"] Expect [B][U]ANY and EVERY position on either shift[/U][/B], that you might get, to be laborious. Also, expect any position you get now to be 'seasonal', meaning temporary. Expect your last day to be December 23 or 30. Maybe you can get rehired sometime next year on a permanent basis. Shortest learning curve: unloading trailers on either shift. Do you have transportation, and back-up transportation, to both shifts? Will there be traffic issues before or after either shift that will cause problems? Are you a student with flexibility in scheduling classes earlier or later? Do you want the health insurance benefits? Eligibility for that varies around the country. Unless you post what city/state you'll be working in, most of the advice you get from BrownCafe about that will be inaccurate/useless. Is your goal to eventually be a full time delivery truck driver? If so, my recommendation is to work on the Sunrise/Preload shift, loading the delivery trucks (a 'preloader'). Do you want to be a tractor-trailer driver? You'd be better off applying to UPS Freight.
