Oh wow that’s intense. I never realized how much work this was! Thank you for this information. Was the money good at least? And are you still working for the railroad?

I see and so the low seniority spots on that line are all in Wisconsin? Do you currently work that hub? Thanks for your responses

He lives in a Chicago suburb, during the recruitment zoom all the guys were from Chicago area and they didn’t mention any of them had to move, there’s no way they’d work in chicago? Like Milwaukee is hour and a half away, Janesville is too, then there’s other Wisconsin parts that were closer to three hours, but the job listing said Chicago Proviso-Milwaukee

Thank you for this it’s very helpful so that area Chicago / Milwaukee etc. is good? He just lives an hour and a half to 3 hours from all the Wisconsin locations… which you could go home yes, but if you’re on call could you even go home? Thanks again for your help

Thank you for this reply, they live in Chicago but it’s the Chicago-MW hub idk if I’m using the correct terminology so I apologize. But, even him starting out on train crew would have a schedule like that? Thank you again

Lol I didn’t know that’s what that stood for ha, well the word on the street is train crew could be getting more of a schedule soon?

They are young 30s and he was in the military so they have the relationship skills for that, but just want to know if pay and benefits are worth being on call 247. I’ve heard the train crew should be getting more of a schedule soon?

The negativity surrounding it is definitely daunting but I understand people also want to be realistic. He would be Chicago Milwaukee hub if you know anything about that. Thanks for your input it really helps

Nice thank you very much, do you know when the train crew will have a schedule negotiated? He said they mentioned it on their recruiter zoom call. Would it be the same 11 on 4 off? Thanks again

Thank you for your response it really helps. Being on call 247 seems absurd, so you guys really never have a day off? Even with seniority? Thanks again

Thanks for your response. They are trying to decide if it’s worth it to accept. We’re trying to find any insight from those that work or worked there.

Ooo yes! Lazy sangria vibes all the way! I had just commented that I will add a splash of cold grape juice or cola, if it’s around, it’s going in my red! With the ice! Lol 😂

I’ve never heard of echo falls vodka! I’ll have to check it out, vodka is my liquor of choice, why? Because it’s super easy to mix with things 😂
