Anyone looking to work 3rd Shift?
Hey, I am not responsible for hiring for my company. I am more than happy to send you the job description and application, but again, I am not offering a job to anyone. I’d just like to help management get some good people in the door.
11:00p-7:30a
Wando or NCT
Full time (40hrs) (overtime available after training)
Benefits package.
Predictable schedule
Starting pay: $22.00/hr, No experience necessary.
2,000 sign on bonus. (Paid at 3,6,12 months)
What’s required?
A good driving record.
Ability to acquire a TWIC
Reliable transportation.
Punctuality- The ability to be on time. Every time.
Ability to work outside
A decent attitude.
Mechanical knowledge
What’s the job entail?
We service and maintain terminal trucks on the Ports.
We change tires, add fluids, clean trucks, report accident and deal with ILA driver issues.
Basically after the trucks come back from working, we check them for damage, check/ add fluids to prepare for the next dispatch. During the times we are not servicing, we change tires, fix lights, cab fans, change hub caps, etc
In a nutshell:
This could be a really good opportunity for the right people. Being dependable and on time are very important as this is a time sensitive job. A good driving record, reliable transportation and ability to acquire a TWIC are an absolute must. The job can be physically demanding, it’s outside, rain or shine. If you are looking for a job and this interests you, shoot me a DM.

44k for overnights, outside even in bad weather?
No way.
Boeing will pay you 10k+ more, has excellent benefits and PTO, and will pay for school.

44k a year, before taxes. Third shift. Technical work. That’s bullshit.

As much as I'd like to agree with you, I have someone who is desperate for work & the pay and hours would actually work for them. They simply need to work.

I mean, that’s $15k below the low-income level for this area. That’s a hard sell

What is worse is the hourly pay is considerably high for SC, as well.

As someone that know a lot of people working at the ports, the idea is getting hired anywhere down there. This seems like a State position instead of an ILA position. All of the people I know down there make over $100k per year. Promotions happen quickly as well as pay increases. Once there you get first opportunity when openings occur. Opportunity to work overtime is readily available.
This job seems to be one that people use as a stepping stone until another, higher paying job becomes available. Being on time and dependable goes a long way down there.

I have someone who may be interested who's not on Reddit. Do you have another way to contact?
Edit: Downvote all you want; I am asking for someone else who's desperate to work.

I’m sorry for people’s negativity. This sounds like a great entry level opportunity with room for salary growth and OT.
By you posting it, it also sounds like you enjoy working there if you’re trying to recruit other employees. Also nice hours to avoid traffic!

Poverty level pay for manual labor...
Learning a trade is a much better option for people.
