[QUOTE="QualityLoads, post: 1884808, member: 52943"] 1) youll work as tcd anywhere from 0-6 days. The only day you can count on is saturday if you want it. Youll get 5 days during peak if you an hold your own and the volume is there. 2) remember when you signed the tcd bid sheet? Put in enough years and Sign the full time bid sheet to go full time. 3) they would love you to work saturdays. Youll be making about $30 less dollars an hour than a full timer working on saturdays. 4) i would ask the union on this one. 5) anywhere from 3-12 years depending on the buildings needs, sign the full time bid sheet. 6) i beilive it depends on your area but youll be making $50+ in overtime at top pay. 7) let your supervisors know that you want overtime. Also when you finish your day, before heading back, call your supervisor and ask for more work. Chances are another driver needs help with pickups or stops and management is trying to figure out who to send. Call them and theyll be kissing your feet all night. 8) get as much knowledge of the routes as you can. Treat management with a positive attitude and respect, even if you want to rip thier heads off. Respect your senior drivers and find a way to help them out if you can. You gain the respect of a senior driver and he wont hesitate to give you knowledge on routes and advice when you find yourself in a sticky situation. I cant tell you how much other drivers have helped my career, dont expect management to show you the way, ask a driver. Start introducing yourself to drivers and getting phone numbers. Good luck and get ready for hell the next few months. one day youll catch yourself driving the big brown truck and start laughing about all the money your making once the job becomes second nature. Hope this helps i was in your shoes last year. [/QUOTE]
