[QUOTE="Empty Pockets, post: 4957880, member: 77481"] This is nothing new. There have been three buses parked on the west side of the employee lot for well over a year. Recently, there has been four. I am not sure if it is just another one from Greenville, Ms. or if they are importing from another city. They did this a few years ago in Millington, Tn. FedEx goes to a city and holds a job fair.

It dwindled down to just one bus less than half full and they pulled the plug. They have resorted to hiring folks released from prison/ex cons.
