[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 2504095, member: 48469"] Performance expectations for seasonal drivers are not high. Nor should they be. And I don't think management is THAT interested in trying to drive up an inexperienced/seasonal driver's numbers when whining about numbers isn't really a thing during this time of year anyway. Everything just needs to get delivered. Without injuries or accidents. The big interest is probably more in seasonals not quitting. We lose a few right off the top on day 1 every year when they realize what they've gotten themselves into. You're being sold hope so your location isn't short a body to deliver packages tomorrow, the day after, etc. The vast, vast majority of FTers had to work their way up through the part time ranks. You might get lucky, but where I am, the line for the next FT outside hire is a mile long and mostly consists of management that wants out and onto the road. [/QUOTE]
