[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 447030, member: 10234"] A lot of these helpers just want to make some money. They are told to be prepared to work long hours, 5 days a week. Then they get used for 3-4 hours every other day or 3. I've seen so much frustration on their faces and in their voices. What they thought was going to be a good way to make several hundred dollars turns into a job where most of the time and money is being spent driving to meet points. Most of the helpers that were given to me were good, hard workers. If they weren't, I let it be known when I got in that night. You can tell when they are trying and when they are just looking for (what they thought would be) easy money. One of the first things I would ask them is "Do you want to make money?" When the answer was yes, I would keep them as long as I possibly could. We would run our butts off and at lunch time I always bought. Most peaks I had the same helper throughout. They would show up on time and ready to hit it. If the coord tried to give me a helper for "a couple of hours", I'd say "forget it". The poor kids are just looking to make some money. Why discourage them by only working them a few hours here and there. It's cheaper to pay a driver and helper 8 hours each than the driver for 11-12 hours. [/QUOTE]
