I wouldn't call anyone to be honest... Be patient, if you call, they may put you to the bottom of the list... lol

Actually from what I have heard, they tell you over and over not to call or have anyone else call. If you do, they will take your application and throw it in the garbage. Pretty harsh, but that is what all the applicants are told before the test.

Does anyone have a good time frame for when they will be bringing new hires in? I've taken my test and physical (about 3 weeks ago) and am awaiting more information. I have a few military training schools coming up in the near future and am curious whether to try and find a replacement if I'll be brought in soon. Thank you.

I have heard the 3rd shift will be up and running the end of March...I would assume you will need only 2 weeks of training, maybe one? So I would guess probably not before Christmas? But I am pretty sure they are bringing in so many each week right now? You have to remember they usually don't hire but 30-50 at a time...it's not like they bring in 500 in one week. I am assuming they are still hiring up to 900? Good luck!

ive been a part of plants adding crews twice now, its a long slow build up. if 3rd crew starts in march, probably january they start bringing the people in probably about 100 at a time, doubling them up on jobs, getting everything squared away.

Will new hires be on 3rd shift automatically or will they just go to fill moves from 2nd shift The third shift is "C Crew". Which is Friday & Saturday 6a-430p and Sunday & Monday 6p-430a. And yes, in final majority of the new hires will be on this shift. They will train on A or B and then be rolled to C, when three crews are implemented (late March-ish). I would imagine that there will be some voids on B crew filled, likely by the first 200-300 new hires. C Crew hours suck, but you will be bringing in more money than new hires on B. My advice: stick it out like everyone else has and one day you will be on the shift you want.

Thanks Once they decided to hire, they do drug screen and physical. There is never a set time frame. I know that doesn't help any, but that's the way it is

Overall, how many jobs are being added at ktp? I'm hearing 3500. Seems excessive though.

We just bid out over 800 jobs, the plant keeps getting younger and younger... You mean days on the crappiest job? Can anyone answer what is holding days in U trim?

yes, just days in general. not a fan of the night shift. Both plants are like Cap now, in that any seniority can hold days on the line. And low seniority can hold decent bid jobs on the off shifts.

I am not complaining at all, but it's wild how quickly lower seniority people are getting jobs on day shift! It took me 13 years to get here!! I was loaned out my 1st. day on A crew to Frame Line from Eng Line. I remember someone stating I needed to go to U Trim because 99 Seniority would not hold days!!! I am so thankful I stayed where I was. I was low man on my team for 2 years and now after 3 years, I only have 5 above me! Things may change once there are 3 crews plant wide, but for now, get it while you can! God Bless each of my UAW Brothers and Sisters and pray and hope for each of us to vote with our hearts and not our wallets.... Just remember, our lives and families go on well past Dec. 25th., and bonuses......

between 3-5 years would hold trim, but you wouldn't want to go there. Trust me.

Does anyone know if the referrals from LAP were supposed to be used at KTP as well?
