JOB Hunters... act fast.

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.

I was damn proud of my little (not physically) brother, he got on with the BNSF at around 24, as a track/bridge crew member, worked really hard and was promoted to crane operator. Unfortunately the traveling he had to do as a crane operator was hell on his family life so he went back to the labor crew. 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.

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.

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.
