find a couple scrap 2x6 at a local construction site. you are going to shoot yourself in the w your baby glock doing it the hard way.. freaking kids these day

So today... I asked about a ramp and told them what happened last week. They told me they were bringing some sand bags out to put in front of it. I got out and looked at my cart, and realized... "Hey... this is high enough to clear that 8" metal curb". It won't high center the cart. No way! So I eased up to the container and drove up with just the front tires inside. I gave it just a little more gas... and waaalaaaaa! It went in... easy peasy! I called them back and told them, you don't have to get a running start at it, it goes in just fine. They were going to bring out the bags anyway though, because they said if it rains, I could get stuck. It sits on red dirt, and I can understand how that might happened. Happy Happy Girl! Not happy with only 1.5 hours today. They said Mondays are slow usually. It is a 28 mile round trip for me. Come on Peak! I am ready for some hours.

1.5 hours isn't worth anyone's time. Does that even pay for the gas to get to and from your golf cart?

I get 15 mpg. So it took 2 gallons. So I made less than minimum wage on this day. I can only hope it gets better.

That's dumb! I'm sorry this company sucks toward seasonal workers :/

What a waste. Did they tell you when you get more hours>?

 

[Amerigirl]

I just keep thinking that it will get better. I sure hope so. I need to work 50 hours a week at least.

She said it will pick up after Thanksgiving for sure.

Only 25 times more hours than you work now! Once December hits you should be around 60 like the rest of us.

You should have applied to be a driver long before peak, you would have gotten it.

 

[Amerigirl]

That will be awesome. My last job in the oilfield, I worked 65 to 70 hours a week. I sure hope I can get hired on full time after the 1st of the year. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I doubt that. After reading how long it takes to be hired as a driver, I am very disappointed. They have at least 10 people here that work in pre-load that are waiting on driver positions. They have 5 drivers that will be coming up for retirement in the next couple of years. Sad. I would love to be a driver!

Get hired onto the preload, put your time in, and become one.

 

[Amerigirl]

I did apply for a driver position, the same time I applied for the seasonal driver helper position.

I am hoping they will hire me after the seasonal job is up.

Come east and work in the gas patch.

Of those 10, a bunch might have traffic tickets, not know how to drive stick, or otherwise not be able to qualify. Lotta people have circumstances you'd otherwise not know about that'll keep em on an inside sort.
