Permit RR Laborer to Heavy Haul CDL-A, yes or no?

Sounds like a great way to get a CDL.
Also that heavy haul experience is hard to come by and held in very high esteem by most of the trucking industry.
What does the pay top out at?
From the limited info you have given here, I would be inclined to accept this offer

 

I'd take the offer also. While I could never live my life 24/7 on call long term, after a year or two of working that job you should be able to get hired on almost anywhere you want to.

 

it sounds pretty good if the work atmosphere and conditions are suited to you.

 

Go for it. You'll be more than experienced for a broad variety of jobs after that.

 

Only the insurance companies can answer that. You never know what each company will accept and thats usually who has to be satisfied.
Its not the same as OTR experience but the heavy haul looks nicer on a resume anyway

 

Of course it does. Many LTL guys spend most of their day doing things other than just driving, but some can still back an A-train set through the McDonald's drive-thru lane.

 

Go for it, you won't regret it, also the work is not that bad, they have the correct tools for the heavy lifting, you do not lift with your back, they have the equipment and expect you to use it, so use it. I think you will find you will make considerably more than 80K, if your actually enployed by one of the railroad company's, if it a subcontractor we take it go get your license in a year go to work for the railroad direct.

 

Yes.
