Ate you positive you are not a seasonal hire?

 

[Inoscopedjfk]

They told me from the interview with h.r. that it is for permanent since people are retiring and some cant pass the qualifications.

 

[Turdferguson]

I only ask because seasonal period starts Oct 15th

 

[Inoscopedjfk]

When i did training, he even mentioned that is for permanent and not seasonal. And explained the dfference with seniority.

I will ask again tomorrow morning but i was told its permanent from hr. If its seasonal, someone lied to me.

I hope it is, but you wouldn't be the first person HR has lied to. The threads are littered with stories about that

The training guy even explained the seasonal and permanent and it showed on his paper wh was perm and who was seasonal but yeah, ill ask when i get there. I just wish i knew more about the route or what im even doing..either riding with or having supervisor ride with me. Im trying to remember how to work the diad and functions from my notes..

You'll ride with a supervisor your first day or two

Take a water jug,notepad, the supervisor will be driving. Take notes of where to park at locations and what doors to go thru to get signatures. After a week you won't need the notes but it helps you get thru the week with all the thoughts you'll want to write down. Take some cash if you don't pack a lunch, but I'd pack a lunch.

Good luck, it will seem overwhelming to begin with....
but like any new job, there is a learning curve.

Be careful with that truck; drive it like it's in a bubble.

If you really want to score some points be there....prepared at 8:15, first impression goes a long way with these guys.

8:15 it is. I appreciate the tip.

The first few days will seem overwhelming. By the end of your second week you'll have a surge of confidence and some days will come easy to you. Stay determined and highly attentive throughout. Best of luck

By December, the truck will be jammed beyond belief.
