Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Makes it's tempting to go over... See if I'm single again lol. Chill out with a few beers and check out the bronco.

Actually mines a position for working on the tracks,signals blah blah blah. The trains we have are passengers which I really wouldn't want to engineer. I wouldn't mind freight but at the same time I'd like to be home every night with a more normal schedule. I can also change positions which is a huge plus

 

Not joking. I had the post up 15 minutes then edited it and went a 180 on sunday night. Weird crap dude. I applied for Norfolk Southern Few days ago, My grandfather and great grandfather both worked for Con-Rail. I'm not happy past few weeks. USPS turned me down( not surprised with the down sizing )and I will never work for Wally World as a fleet non wiggle wagons OTR driver, Nothing is tying to me down to start another career either. best of luck too you.


Clairify: Still looking for the 400 pound sugar momma and say screw working. She has 300 million in various banks for suing variety of companies, RR can stop over a few times a week, No fochs given

 

Just go to that college town and find some young drunk dumb girl. or some 400 pounder and who you kidding if some girl over 180 said shed blow you you would take it.

I applied to MTA shaggy. Looked into the cxs and Amtrak yards as well, no Norfolk southern by me. The state DOT is hiring by me as well, hours and days are better but pay is awful starting out. I can always return to towing cars and bartending part-time if needed on my time off.

 

BNSF its two years to hit top scale.

 

It seems to me that leaving UPS to go to a railroad would be like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. At least down here in the forty eight. Unless things have changed considerably in the past year or so, there is no railroad job other than the train crew, that is not being outsourced just as quickly as they can.

Now possibly to go to a train crew job might not be too bad. But I sure would take a good hard look before going to any other job with the railroad.

In fact, I was just informed this morning that an acquaintance was fired from a railroad because of having "too many injuries" that he reported. Of course they told him he could re-apply in a year or so. . .

 

It wouldn't be for engineering, it would be for other stuff like maintence and repairs etc.

 

Working in a small terminal seems they can pull crap like that. If they pulled that at my terminal I would of been like my title is Linehaul not P&D. They should asked instead of forced it. I would of did it if it was an option. They can't pull that at my term cause there's too much job competition of going else where. We can barely find a quality line driver cause other companies are paying better.
