My two cents - assuming you are just looking to run during Christmas Shutdown.

That time period expedite freight will be slow, plus two weeks is a very short time to put anyone in a truck. The costs to put you in the truck would very likely exceed what it was worth.

I'd suggest looking at a florist or something like that that needs help around Christmas for deliveries.

He is talking about the yearly Christmas shutdown. They shut the plants down around Christmas and Independance Day to do repairs, maintenance and changes.

It's normally 2 weeks, if a plant needs to drop some production they can extend to 3 or more weeks.

Well what can I say... I know that they are shutting down plants and laying people off, where I don't know or care but I guess I had something on my mind when I posted it.
