Hey HBG... are you a current DS with NS?Yes, I am. And, every once in a very great while, there is a day that I don't get yelled at, so I guess I even occasionally know what I am doing!!!!

If the $40/hr is true, where do I sign up!!!!??? Heck, the $280 a day on CSX is almost enough to make me want to jump ship!!!!!

You can apply on their website.jz441 wrote:BNSF $40/hr once finished with training.That seems a bit high, works out to $320 a day.
