Meeting with PFG last week

SURPRISES:

* Truck driver job requires more: deliver and load and unload
  materials
  - so they require more but their salary is about the same

* social media campaigns for PFG
  - job ad promotions
  - Han mentioned that some companies advertise through FB, YT, ...
    - eg. day in the life videos

* they tell the drivers when to start but not when to stop (just
  finish the tasks).
  - find out if they pay hourly

* Fed gov don't understand about their industry
  - pandemic increases visibility of importance of industry
  - people think the work is very high risk during pandemic
    - no confirmation of food transmission
  - harder to take this job that is physically demanding so
    families want to take unemployment check instead
    - data: ??

* ATS = applicant tracking system

* get data from PFG by the end of this week

* automation: they htink this will only matter a little; investimetn
  here not interesting to them; not enough ROI

* no touch freight jobs:
  - for these jobs the driver not responsible for load/unload
  - PFG doesnt' have these but other industries do
  - they don't want to raise the pay
