I was given a conditional offer of employment with BNSF. I read here where someones offer was withdrawn due to having a wrong employment start date on their application. I went back and reviewed mine and found I also inadvertantly put the wrong date for one of my former employers.

I also entered a ticket I had gotten, expired tag, in 2003 or 2004 that I had completely forgotten about. I was thinking the application, at one time, wanted traffic tickets for past 3 years.

I also saw where my employer from 1985-2003 ws no longer on my app. and there was no way for me to add them back on.

I sent an email to BNSF's newhire telling them I had made those corrections, date and ticket, I also reentered my 1985-2003 employer information in the email. I also told them that employer was on my application when I originally filled it out.

If I caught these discrepancies and made the corrections to them and notified BNSF HR would they hold it against me and withdraw my offer? I was not hiding anything or trying to slip anything past them.

I am also interested in what work is like in East Thomas Yard in Birmingham, AL.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Did it say you had to list traffic violations?
