I'm never sure if I'm posting in the right place or not, but here goes.
I'm wondering if anybody on here works for a Temp service or multiple temp services and how that is working out for them? I started a new job recently hauling sod, and I enjoy it, but the problem is that it's too susceptible to the weather. This week alone I won't be working because of the constant rain and snow, and it doesn't look like next week will be any better, at least not at the moment. I'm on with a temp service right now, and that will give me a bit, but not enough. So would it be better to work multiple temp services at the same time? Is that even possible? What are the best temp services out there? Thanks for your help,
Mike S.

I worked for a temp service called Transforce for a couple of weeks when I was still living up by Chicago and I hated every day of it, just mostly Russian and Bulgarian trucking outfits hire through them. So from my experience it wasn't possible to work for multiple temp companies because of the 15+ hour workdays but the money was pretty good though.

hauling sod is the same as hauling dirt ina dump truck.
unemployment in the winter months. but your butts in the summer and save for the winter.
bad thing about sod. it's ag work. and exempt from paying overtime. least, that's what i was told from the one application i put in 12 years ago. -

I've done it before. Really depends on the customer of the temp agency. I was assigned to a Ryder dedicated run for Toyota. Pretty decent gig while it lasted.

I worked for a temp agency twice while laid off from my regular job. I was assigned to a small union ltl company. Was offered a permanent position there but declined. The second time I was there, the temp agency asked me to leave the ltl company to cover an opening for Ryder that paid me and probably them more money. It will be my first call if I need a job in the future.
