[QUOTE="Commercial Inside Release, post: 5694225, member: 93336"] They'll put you to work unloading 130° trailers for 90-days. If they need you as a temporary seasonal driver, they might send you to driving school, and let you drive during peak season. Whether they let you drive or not, you will definitely go back to unloading in January, or be laid off (perhaps indefinitely.) If you find yourself unloading in February, you might finally get to the lowest level of seniority and be able to sign a bid sheet for something besides unload. It might be years before you have enough seniority to win a bid for anything, let alone driving. You will have to make it 9 months from your hire date, before you will qualify for benefits... So, plan on making COBRA payments to your current healthcare, if you have any (COBRA will devour your entire paycheck as a part time unloader.) So basically for the first nine months, you will be mislead; jerked around; & lied to... While you go broke doing some barbaric slave labor for free, and watching your coworkers stand around talking and picking their butts. After 9mos, you'll still probably be unloading for several years at $500-600\week, but with good benefits. Sound fun? $49 per hour indeed. [/QUOTE]
