When I was a PTF many years ago before they had CCA I remember not having a day off in my first 90 days. After a month working my typical work week was Monday-Friday 5am-7pm Saturday 7:30-4 and Sunday was 8-12:30. We didn’t have Amazon sundays our Sunday’s were just for express mail. I lived an hour away from the job. If you want something bad enough you just keep at it. You come to work everyday on time and with a smile on your face. Thank you for this channel I’m sure it will help a lot of people to have the right attitude.

How many days off do you typically have during a 7 day week. Do you work weekends? Do you work holidays? Which holidays? Can you easily request for time off? Do you get approved? Can you take a full week off or more for a vacation? What happens if you wake up and are sick and cannot make it into work? What happens if you have an emergency and cannot make it in?

Hey Nick. So as a CCA the insurance is United Health Care? Then is it Blue Cross once you become a regular? Also, I heard it's around $300 a month, is that about right? I don't see people mention the insurance and how much for the month or how much out of each pay check. Everyone just asks about the pay and the OT. I think the insurance is a big deal and about how much to the union each week? Thanks

@@GuciTheBulldog1 no worries man! She will have a shadow day with her station once she gets approved and than she will do the drivers course and probably academy right after which was really laid back on my end and an easy paycheck. After that she will do her on the job training for 3 days than she will be on her own after. Its going to be a steep learning curve since ccas cover the regulars that have days off so she could be put on a route that she is not familiar with every day of the week. Tell her not to get discouraged because the first couple of months the office is going to see how much she can handle workwise espicially if its a bigger office. Never be afraid to call and ask for help if you dont think you will be able to finish the route. Good luck!
