[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1138525, member: 43436"] - Most Preloads operate in the general time frame of 4AM-9AM; some buildings will start as late as 6AM while others will start even earlier. Your start times will be fairly consistent, although they will vary by the day of the week. Start times pull forward beginning in late November, typically by a couple hours although some days (especially the week before Christmas) it'll be even more. - It sounds like you're being hired as a permanent employee but you may still be considered seasonal during the summer months. How this is handled varies regional, and even among buildings. You need to ask HR about your status. (Summer is also a "seasonal" timeframe, as employees are needed to cover vacations. In some locations, seasonal is post-Memorial Day or the start of June, in others it's all of May.) - You'll be eligible for benefits after one-year. If you're considered seasonal, it'll be one year from your permanent hire date. - PRELOAD refers to the shift in which trucks are loaded for the day's deliveries. PRELOADER typically refers to somebody who loads the trucks. E.g. if you're asked 'do you want to unload or preload?' it means do you want to unload trailers or load trucks. Sometimes Preloader is used to refer to anybody working the Preload shift, although this is not common. [/QUOTE]
