Trainnut, somebody gave you some bad info. The RRs don't hire specific for a certain board, i.e. extra board. They hire for a certain craft, then you can bid/bump/be forced to the jobs that your seniority will carry you. I don't have alot of seniority and hold pool turns from time to time. <br />Timbrewolf, where I am at on the BNSF, I get a 2hour call, and average 12hrs-plus each way. I usually am gone 40hours or more. If the board is spinnin', I will usually get back out on my rest (if I was on duty 12hrs...10 hrs rest, less than 12hrs...8hrs rest. I can request 10 hrs rest if I want by local agreement) <br />Ken
