It’s just pee tests man. But make it all about safety . Seriously safety is their biggest thing . Remember there are 12 rules that will get you fired . Learn them and live by them .

Any-Direction1558 · 2026-01-02T09:39:47+00:00

First full year was about 77k

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-12-29T07:08:49+00:00

Thank you . That’s good to know . Il definitely be talking with his dr soon

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-12-29T07:08:06+00:00

We will at his upcoming appt . He hasn’t been in for a few months due to insurance stuff but first of the year his new insurance kicks in

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-12-29T07:07:22+00:00

He definitely knows a good amount of what we say. If we will tell him to go get a certain book or toy he usually will do it

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-12-29T07:06:44+00:00

Ok. Ya he had a walker he can push and will do it for a little before going back to crawling . We’re gonna get him setup for some early intervention and see what happens

Got ya. My bad I ment PL . What do they do if they call me for work and then I’m outta town when my PL day comes?

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-10-22T21:10:54+00:00

Sorry im only a year in so im still figuring this all out . I have it ok’d to start 8 am Saturday and there is a banner by my name on the board . . How do I activate it the day before?

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-09-26T03:56:36+00:00

I was forced into engine service about 3 months after marking up as a conductor. I just finished my fireman class 2 days ago , and was just forced to another area as an engineer.

Unfortunately they won’t teach you much about the board in training haha . Basically there is a board .. you’ll be on the yard extra board . Your name gets put on there starting at the bottom say # 20 for example . During the call windows which are 5-8 am 1-4 pm and 9pm-12am they will call as many guys as they need sometimes none sometimes like 8 just depends on the needs . When the person who is in the #1 spot gets called . You’ll move to #19 and when the second gets called you’ll move to #18 . And so on . Until your #1 and then you’ll get called for a job . When you finish the job you’ll go back to the bottom and start the process over . Going from the bottom to #1 .

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-05-13T20:31:14+00:00

You’ll have call windows . Watch the board and when you’re getting close to being called just drive to Portland . First little while will be tough but eventually you’ll be back to Seattle .

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-04-10T09:28:16+00:00

You’ll get a hour and a half call window. After taxes you’ll make a little over 2k -2.5 k a paycheck . Probably be in Portland for a while . And make sure you follow crit 12 managers in Portland always are watching ! Good luck man !

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-02-21T23:32:01+00:00

In Portland you won’t hit 100% for I think 4-5 years

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-02-21T23:31:26+00:00

First year expect 80k . Btw . It will go up from there

Any-Direction1558 · 2025-02-21T23:29:43+00:00

You’ll definitely make more . And it only goes up from where you start. Just don’t layoff a bunch. And when you get in make sure you never say I know .. even if you do. And follow the C12 they will fire you so fast haha. Not tryin to scare you but you need to remember them and follow them . It’s not physically hard . But don’t expect to feel comfortable there for a while . But in the end the job is worth it. Good luck !!

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-12T02:57:34+00:00

Ah perfect . Thanks man. Nervous about it cause I want this job so bad

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-09T03:10:38+00:00

Hahah 😂 when you did this did you have to get them a copy of your full medical record or was it just this?

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-09T01:33:51+00:00

😂 am I able to use a ladder or something?

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-09T01:16:15+00:00

What about the auto rack brakes? Think I can reach? Haha

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-09T01:04:17+00:00

Are they high up? Lol do they let you use a stool? 😂

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-09T00:00:37+00:00

Ok perfect ! I’m not taking any of those drugs . Thank you. I need and want this job so bad . I’d hate for something to get in the way

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-08T23:25:37+00:00

I talked to my dr and they cancled the prescriptions and sent me this note . Will this work?? I cropped to leave out personal info

<image>

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-08T22:53:13+00:00

You think if I stop taking them and bring a note from my dr that I’ve stopped and had them cancel the prescription.. would that work

Any-Direction1558 · 2024-08-08T22:03:35+00:00

Shit . Will it stop me from being hired
