    Since I haul ISO tanks, I actually don't mind. After 1 hour we got detention, so if CN wants to block everything up with a train, it was fine by me. Most I ever got was 3.5 paid at CN.
    What I hated was having to go to Landers, 59th, soo/co. They're just a huge PITA to get to

    I forgot to mention, it's your downtime, not there's, so it doesn't cost them anything.

    I meant to type Soo/CP in Bensenville. The company I'm leaving I used as training. I made decent money, but without the experience, my new offer wouldn't of happened. If things didn't work out, I'd cone back here. Slow weeks I cleared $1800-2400 normal weeks $2800-3200 and great weeks were $3800-4700. Keep in mind I also gave up the large signing bonus, instead I had them pay for my pump & air compressor. Over the year I earned twice what the sign on bonus was and when we got slow, I still worked because I had the extra Equipement.
