peterbilt is hiring again

[Taylor]

yesm, we all speak with a hick voice and drink and smoke the weed all day. So really we are the lucky ones to not have a narc in the mix.

Seems to be!

Then why come in here and talk shit?

Not really doing that.

Because he's a retard

I applied during the last hiring phase. Never heard anything back. I guess a clean, well spoken drug, alcohol and drug free individual with a degree and experience isn't what they're looking for. Worked out for me either way.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

Derp.



edit, originally meant to put "drug, alcohol and tobacco free."

Oh well.

Peterbilt hiring

I finished with the interview process on the 22nd of feb. I have not received a letter or a call. I did call a week ago and they said I was accepted and passed the interview, but they are waiting on a start date from manufacturing. Has anyone ever had it take this long to start the training process?

I know someone who had to wait 2-3 months after their interview, before their start date.

[Scottydontknow]

Ok thanks. Just ready to get the ball Rollin. Sick of this ridiculous house work.

Does anyone know when peterbilt has another training class starting?

[Scottydontknow]

After the interview process, does peterbilt decide what part of the production line they will place you? And do they place you in a training class that's specific for that department? Just wondering how it works out, because a friend of mine had his interview a few weeks after mine and already has a start date and I'm still waiting on the call.

The training is just generalized stuff. The training is throwing you on the line show ya what you'll be doing and just going.

I dont know why the F they are hiring more people. Its just cutting down my employment time

And Mike i hope your not planning on working at voith. They pay dick and they are under contract with Peterbilt that they cant hire any of their employees........had a girl working for them that couldnt get hired in for that exact reason.

Doom and gloom man. Anyone starting here don't expect for it to last long, it will likely be temporary. Second quarter is very scarse on the amount of trucks scheduled for production. If e can get to july it looks much better but depends on how many trucks they pull up from the later part of the year to fill the gaps. If diesel gets to 5+ dollars a gallon and the election looks rocky expect it to take a down turn. Plus 2013 is nother emissions year for OTR trucks and that scares buyers.

Save your money scott! And mike didn't work for voith they said he looked to young...lol

[RuStYpNuS]

Kinda hard to save money and mod my shit box. Definition will be back at 4.xx monday which is what We Have been running for the past 6 mths. There is a rumor that a handful of mgmt are talking to hr about changing layoffs to merit based rather than seniority since this isnt a union shop anymore. Doesnt matter to me as long as i get called back and Im pretty certain ive Got that in the bag.

On a side note. Turbo you think We can drop the trans in your garage when the time comes LOL.

I'm pretty sure a hand full of managers that have not been there a year will have much of a chance getting a 32 year policy changed. Surely you have figured out that most managers out there are nothing more than a puppet. Most of them would'nt poor piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.

Funny thing about cut backs. When they happen overtime goes up for some strange reason.

Someone in my department had a relative that got hired a week or so ago and was suppose to start Monday, but got called on Wednesday and was told if he had a job to not leave for Peterbilt. They told him if he came that he would only last a couple of weeks. I am guessing 4 day work weeks and some lay offs are just around the corner. I was told Kenworth laid off 400 and went to 4 day work weeks already.
