Hey whats up man, i just finished the background check a few weeks ago.. Yes, you just reply to sterlings email and attach the requested documents. Sterling requested a w2 from me and all i did was take a pic of the w2, replied to their email, and attached the w2 and all was good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some comments before you play the victim card: This is a public forum on the internet. If you wanted people to mind there business, you wouldn't be here asking questions. If you are worried only about yourself, what does that mean for your conductor or engineer? If you're my brakeman and I need help with doors, passengers, etc, I expect you to help me no questions asked. If you have that "I'm only here for myself" attitude, you're not gonna last long pal. If someone not reading dozens of posts on an internet forum upsets you, then the RR is not for you. What's gonna happen when passengers ask you whether your train stops at Jamaica a thousand times? Are you going to get upset and angry because you made plenty of announcements? Seriously you need a thick skin and I mean really THICK to survive. Don't act like a know it all, be humble that you've made it this far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave them W-2, tax documents and earning statement from social security office. It might say consider after they finish the background check but don't worry too much about it. They will likely contact you if there is an issue. do you have to pay for W2s from social security office or is it free? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only ordered earning statement from there and it's around $100. You dont really need earning statement. I only got it just to make sure I didn't leave any jobs out on the application, and plus just to have an official record of my job history.

JHP87 Posted December 11, 2018 Share #1392 Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) I went for my medical. There was a physical fitness portion which consisted of climbing up and down a latter a few times, stepping over a third rail and walking down a little section of track, pulling a weight 3 times with each arm and bending a hose(I think maybe a portion of train brake hose) 3 times with each hand. That part took less than 10 minutes. There was also about 4-5 pages of paper work to fill out, an eye exam, a hearing test, ekg, blood pressure, etc..... The drug test was very strict, I’m sure that’s the norm but I’ve never had to take one before. I was out of there in a little under 2 hours.

Yes, it’s only a urine test but they’re strict about the procedure. They make you certify that your specimen container kit hasn’t been tampered with, you have to wash your hands before you can even touch it and you have to initial your specimen when it’s all done acknowledging kind of that you witnessed your urine’s chain of command. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of safety shoes, should I bother purchasing new black safety shoes/boots before class begins or should I stick with my current work boots until (God willing) it’s actually time to start working trains? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you clear the background you should receive but it depends on when your class is they schedule it around 1 month before Edited December 13, 2018 by Mlad18 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
