    That happened to me in 91.
    Started seasonal and they kept 2 into the new year. Which at that time meant you turned regular at the bottom of the seniority list. Already had freight hauler and doubles experience so all I had to do was make and break a couple of sets in the lot. They didn't really have orientation per se back then. I kinda wish I would have stayed. It would be my 33rd yr and retired most likely.
    But as I've discovered thru the years I am not cut out to be a freight hauler..even with the premium compensation.

    Good luck to ya. It's a ##### at the bottom but gets better each year.
    If you get on full time and stay, you will remember the moment as pivotal.

    To use pro football for a comparison - Tom Brady was only supposed to be temporary until Drew Bledsoe came back.
