We have added a HARD HAT to
the equipment list for all members. Many employers are requiring
hard hats during load in and load out. Most of these employers
also furnish hard hats but it is best if you have one of our own that
is fitted to you and you know the history of.
When reporting to a job, you MUST bring identification, Drivers license
or State I.D. card (containing photo ID) with a social security card
or a passport, If you do not bring the proper identification and the
call hasn't started yet, you may be sent home, or you may recieve a
non-referral letter or you may not get paid in a timely manner. So
please bring your identification with you so none of these things happen
to you.
