- Start date
Yeah I work there what do you wanna know
What are the hours like for that position? Do you get 40 hours? Is it more dock work than driving or more driving than dock work? Do you start off on extra board? Get laid off?
Well you get 40 hours a week be in the bottom guy you might start off as the yard man for a bed you'll be in the city you'll be on the dock it will all be combined for a while and usually well right now this time a year layoffs are over and I don't think we add anybody laid off this year
Is it a set schedule or are you on call 24/7?
On call you could start in a where's from Sunday at midnight to 6:00 p.m. Friday night
But that being said want you get a couple guys under ypuThea I mean it is a really good job good and surance the money's good
Actually the last start Friday night is 7:30 p.m. but those are utility runs they go out of town and come back
That's OK well for a while they were hiring guys at top rate which is 2509 I'm not sure I don't think they're doing that now so you would start off but I think a be 5% of that and as far as getting a regular start time it's hard to tell
I meant 85%
Thanks for replying..So is it a year to get to top rate? And is the probationary period 30 working days?
Not sure about the probation ben along time since I bet on it but sometimes they wave that to
So how's the Parma terminal to work at?
I think the new contract is 90% for one year. Casual rate is 85%. Usually probation is only 30 days after you’re on full-time
I enjoy it but II pretty much get along with everybody
Any idea why they are hiring?
Well for one there's supposedly a driver sortilege for 2 were common end of the busy season now plus we've got guys retiring left and right
