So just another training question. When you work OJT and you work over 40 hours how do they pay you as far as overtime pay? They're at $200 a day or $25 an hour. So do we make overtime pay or do we make overtime pay or just $25 an hour? Thanks.
Thanks again for all that you do! My only undeserved gripe is TikTok. Its such a security nightmare and Im glad I never used it, so I'll probably miss out on somethings, but thats ok as that is my choice. Appreciate ya
Glad to help! I don't know about security nightmare considering most of the population walks around with a tracking device in their pocket voluntarily with a cell phone but I understand peoples hesitation. The media is a powerful drug ... :)
Got another quick question. Do they do another physical in mcdonough or do they go by the one you took to get hired. Also do they do bmi or not at mcdonough
Depends on how long it has been since your last physical with NS medical and your start date. The only thing "redone" is usually the drug test. BMI would be done at the time of your original NS Physical.
I just posted a response on TIKTOK. I haven't in the past because you aren't allowed to show anything online other than your pay from mainframe but it's the same process and mileage as when you claimed it in class. Use this link and log in with your RACF ID.... mainframe.nscorp.com/my.policy
Depends on your terminal. If you have a lot of road trains you'll probably make 3-4 trips per week. If you work locals, short turns or yard work you go home after every shift.
@@muhammadhussain-ez1yd Lots of road trains. A lot of triple crown trains caring truck trailers, a lot of AutoRacks and a lot of intermodal mail trains. They serve local industries too but it just depends on where the need is the highest when its your turn to go out.
@@ShiftSouthern1110 My life is extremely normal the only issue I have is that I can't run/sprint but I can jog around for short burst and play soccer with my kid. Ladders no problem, obviously not the distance the job might require but I've walked ballast a few times and was fine. Hoping off a moving railcar I can't answer, I guess it depends on what foot I use to step off with. I do wear a custom ankle brace that helps a lot with impact movements
@@lucasfrost629 you have to get on and off with your trailing foot. Depends on which side of the car/engine you're on whether it is your left or right foot. I would say it's doable. It isn't as bad as it seems, just keep in mind that you are the softest thing out there. A guy at my terminal got his foot cut off not that long ago by falling off a railcar while riding. He slipped through the sill step and the car sliced it clean off before he knew what happened
@@ShiftSouthern1110 I saw a video were the guy says most conductors (not in training) don't use the sill steep. I might have misunderstood but it was a CP conductor video and he was reviewing it. Use the next step and actually loop your arm around the grab bars and not "hang"
