It ended on New Years Eve, and they told me to apply, but they never called me. One of the supervisors told me they didn't usually hire seasonal workers, so I went on with my life. I was relatively young at 42, and healthy. But I was also told that drivers had all spent several years loading trucks, and they did not hire from outside. Can't tell you if any of that was really a policy or them just trying to get the most out of a temp. I'm pretty well broke down now, and if I took such a job now it would be attempted suicide. <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
