Seasonal Question

[Mxryan490]

I am currently a permanent package handler at a hub. My question is if I want to be a seasonal/holiday driver or driver helper will I be able to come back to my permanent package handler position after the holidays?

Yes as long as you don't do anything to get fired while working as a seasonal driver

Can't see why not. Do they have temporary cover drivers there?

Tell them you want to be a TCD.

Awesome I just wasn't sure if I would be replaced during peak if I left my permanent position. I just want to get out and get some experience doing what I want to make my career and driving. Thanks for the response

If a seasonal driver you will be replaced during peak but should be able to get you position back afterwards. If you are a driver helper you are still responsible for doing your hub job.

Watch out for dogs and mailboxes.

If you go driver helper, you work your normal permanent position, then work helper for the extra money. I don't think you can work the helper spot if it interferes with your normal shift, only shift they wouldn't be able to work around is the day sort.

Go in as a helper at 5 or 6 at night.
BOOM! Just blew your mind

Usually sort still running at 5, 6 would be possible, but what driver wants a helper for two hours? 20 mins of that is getting and giving up of the helper.

I have insiders from both the preload and metro as helpers. The preloaders had their hours capped and were usually dragging after only a few hours. The metro helpers worked hard but had to be off the car earlier than I would have liked.

You must have a generous IE department. 2 hours of helping was the average last peak for us

We would have lost most of our helpers if they were limited to only 2 hours per day.

U can do both. Just if your slacking on your normal position or running out of hours... no more helper.... plus if they send me a helper for 2 hours, its a waste of time..

Im sorry, your a permanent employee... your in..you always have your loading job.. . if for some reason you can drive for the season... jump on it... let management sort it out... then u go back to load once all dies out
