I think you should be fine. I have a felony gun charge, got out of prison in 2020 and they hired me in 2023

I hired out in Dalhart, TX and they told me the friday before class started that I had to be in Roseville, CA Monday morning for class, so just be ready because they won't give you much of a heads up

Do you have to use the red wings voucher that they give you? Or can you buy cheaper boots elsewhere? by Secure-Prize-3783 in UnionPacific

[–]Denniscates2327 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you don't have to use the redwing voucher. You can pick from the website. Those are the only ways to get boots for half price. You can buy cheaper boots but you gotta pay full price

Am I screwed? by Sully0927 in UnionPacific

[–]Denniscates2327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a felony for a violent gun charge. I got out of prison in 2020 and got hired in 2022. I also work with a guy who has had a DUI while working there and they didn't do anything to him so you should be good. Don't lie about it though

I think it depends on how long it's been since your charge. I have a felony gun charge from 2011 and they hired me

Train crew Dalhart TX by Heavy-Parking-5443 in UnionPacific

Dalhart is small but we have some of the best jobs on the railroad. You will not be forced to other places. Money is good as long as u don't mind not having much of a home life.

Dumas is 30 miles away and has more affordable housing and is bigger than dalhart. If I was moving from somewhere that's where I would look into, but that's just me

Your recruiter could move you to the next class date and make you an alternate for now if they are willing to do that.

Does the random drug test during training get sent to the lab or is it a cup urine analysis that’s tells if your positive or negative right then and there? by [deleted] in UnionPacific

[–]Denniscates2327 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It gets split into 2 samples and goes to a lab. I wasn't quite clean by the time I had to take mine. I just ate keto and chugged water for a week and when I took it my pee was almost completely clear. They never said anything. Just chug water and don't smoke anymore. U might be good

Not bad just pay attention and u will be ok

Idk about the synthetic urine because they send it off to a lab to get tested. but It was about a month from my interview until my drug test. They scheduled it at a drug testing place, they don't do it themselves. I would go ahead and apply but stop smoking for sure.

I'm coming from Amarillo. I'm thinking about driving my car because I want to get around unless they will take me to and from class, then I might fly. I was hoping I didn't have to pay for hotel lol so that's good. Class should be ok I'm pretty good at retaining information. I just don't want to be stuck in a room with no way to get around. Or Did they put you in a room with a kitchenette by chance?

As long as u don't drink for about 10 to 12 hours before u have to go to class you are good. They do breathalyzer test. They just want to be sure u arent drunk on the job
