I don't know why anyone would find this strange, there's hardly a business out there that doesn't relay on "temps" of some sort or other to help out during busy times. The alternative is to raise prices do they can afford full-timers to sit on their asses for all but two weeks of the year !!
Agreed. But for as long as I can remember (at least around here) UPS would hire temps to ride in the trucks and basically do nothing but shuttle packages from the trucks to the destinations. This is more like a subcontractor than a temp. But that's just my opinion.
