If anyone puts in an application, let me know. I’ll give you a referral.
I applied a couple of times over several years between 2000 and 2010. Never heard a word.
Nobody ever gets the $20K. OK maybe the Co. presidents son...but he don't need a job.
If I would have known it may have been different. I can give the guy that does the hiring your name etc.
Sometimes it’s like a lottery, gotta get lucky.
If anyone puts in a app, let me know I’ll give you my employee number and email to aid in the process.
Back then we had thousand of applicants.Quote:

If you get hired out and Senority permits you could work a Colorado Springs local or in Pueblo.Quote:

"Qualified candidates will be paid $4,000 after completion of their second week of training, $6,000 after completion of their probationary period (approximately 6-7 months following start date), and $10,000 after an additional 180 job starts/work events post probationary period (approximately 18-20 months following start date), totaling $20,000. Employees accepting any portion of the $20,000 hiring bonus will be required to stay with the company for 12 continuous months of employment from the date of receiving an installment. Any employee who terminates employment before 12 months following their last installment will be required to pay back the full amount received."
I had 2 grandparents and a uncle retire from the RR, it's hard work but they hook it up with railroad retirement.
Damn good job if your willing to work hard.
I think that is more of a factor than not passing a whizquiz.
The vast majority of younger generations have no concept of what it really means to work HARD.
Yeah, your outside in all types of weather at every hour of the day.
Yeah, your gonna get dirty.
Yeah, you might get hurt and your gonna come home from WORK tired and sore.
Your gonna have to set your social life aside sometimes.
I swear I see some of these "Soy Boys" that whine if they have to lift something over 20 pounds and cry at a paper cut.
Sent you a PM. [Awesom]Quote:

No kidding. As my body has decided to revolt against me it would be even more difficult if it required manual labor.Quote:

I'm sure being a Marine had something to do with it, but I'd like to think the way my dad raised us is the bulk of our work ethic, because we are both by definition considered "millennials".
What is the time away like? Go out for a couple of days or what? I'm interested, but don't really know much about the industry.
Is it an immediate hire?
My baby boy is getting out of the army this summer and he was looking for something to do.
Edit: 6 came along w/ an answer.
Most likely new people work in the yard, home everyday. Out of town is around 24 to 36 hrs.
I’m pretty sure the application has closed.
Ad was still running on the radio this morning. (Tuesday 4/17)

Cool, again if anyone needs a referral or any help let me know.
Maybe, I'm going to apply tonight still.Quote:

On a related note, my company has several openings right now. An engineer position, a plant operator, a measurement technician, an operations specialist, a damage prevention position, and an equipment and controls technician. I think there’s still a mechanical specialist spot open too.
Not sure how many outside people will get these positions as I have a feeling most of the positions will be filled from within the company but shoot me a PM if anyone wants more info.
What industry? All sounds familiar.
Which company do you work for Ray?
Natural gas.Quote:

Lol, the main line, high ballin...
I just saw that the BNSF is offering a 25,000 dollar sign on bonus. Sry don’t know anything else.
I just had BNSF blast my face off when I was standing on a warehouse roof in Eaton less than 100' from the tracks. Not only that, the guy was going so fast he was fish-tailing!
Declined. Apparently no prior experience wasn't quite accurate. (Should I have put moving Bradleys as heavy vehicle experience?)
My Dad worked at a tie plant for 13+ years (Burlington Northern) and they laid everybody off, closed down the plant and whoops! It was determined to be a Superfund site.
Now he's dying of cancer.
Make sure to stay away from creosote.
