Well I've done pretty much everything from the eye test to the to the hearing test and now today I took the strength test......I think I did pretty good for the most part but i'm not sure what the next step is in the hiring ptocess for conductor trainee......Does anyone know what to expect?

When you are hired please give us updates of your trips. I'm sure a lot of us would have lots of interest in those reports. Thanks. [:D]

Actually I took the strength test on Thur. of last week and today is Sunday so hopefully I will hear something this week. But during the strength test they have you sit in this chair and the first test consist of you being strapped in and having to lift this bar (One arm at a time) up and down. They tell you to give it all you've got because the harder you pu***he more resistance is applied.....The Same test is given to your legs one leg at a time....Then the computer generates all these numbers in which i had no idea what the guy was talking about......So now I just wait...Hopefully I did OK and will soon be a BNSF employee!!!! I'll keep you posted!
