Thanks so much for answering my question and giving me more helpful information.
And yes I would like to take the next PDM test..... Not bc heavy work is not for me but like you said I have a family to feed . But we will see how things go. One day at a time.
Yea I know ppl who went from TRACK to RTO also but I had a question about pay rate going from RTO - TRACK after they finished 1 year probation.Wondering if they got full rate when they went to track ?
Hey guys ,
Is most of the overtime on weekends with capital ? Or is it on weekdays too ? I was hearing different things That there is usually not much during the week but a lot on weekends and then someone else said somethings different.
Question : Are there any weekend days off in capital ? I know maintenance some workers have fri/sat off or sun/mon. Is there anything like that in capital ?
Question ? I thought a mini pick straight out of school is for only a couple of months ? But I been hearing different people saying it could last 1-2 years ? Anyone else know about this ?
Yes I want the OT but I keep hearing there isn't any in maintenance . I know all the OT is in capital but I don't have that option to do that bc it's mostly nights and my wife works nights and I have kids. I will sign up for anytime they ask.
Thanks for getting back to me.
This forum is great ... Everyone is so helpful in answering questions.
Is there any money In track maintenance ? I mean is there OT there ? Can you work your on your days off ?
My cousin is provisional with painting with MTA. Does this apply to him as well ? Can he go over to track as provisional as well ? If so how ? Thanks for the info
I'm getting to understand what you mean. So how long can I stay at dual rate without bring permanent ? Meaning if get a job driving the bobcat at dual rate and seniority number is high ...... Can I be doing that job for awhile until I can get it permanent ?
I have my CDL hopefully I can do something with that. I know moving up takes time .... how to become a specialist at one of the specialty jobs ? Are there Tests involved , time invested , ?
That's not bad money ...... I guess after I'm on the job awhile I will have to be chasing that OT. I have a family of 4 to take care of. So hopefully there is OT . You are really helpful with answering all my questions.
Thanks for that info. I figured the paycheck would be around that. I think I can deal with it for alittle while but I want to try to move up as quickly as possible. I have my CDL and someone told me that I can use that for driving some thr equiment trucks.
What about working your days off? Can you do that ? And also how long before you can take a supervisor test. I know I am way ahead of myself right now just trying to get as much info as possible.
