Block operators are subject to Rule G and hours of service limitations just like train and engine crews and train dispatchers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tk0630 Posted February 22, 2018 Share #52 Posted February 22, 2018 Thanks I knew I about Rule G, I thought they would give you a physical also but I guess it doesn’t make much sense like it is for conductors or engineers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob Posted February 26, 2018 Share #53 Posted February 26, 2018 How is the interview for this position btw? At the S & D orientation, the person said people who passed the exam will get an interview on the same day but we didn't. Instead we got Basic Training days scheduled for 2 weeks. Any tips/advice for the interview? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walk over a bench, on tracks and 3 steps on a 2x4. Simple 2nd part is with a nurse. Height weight BP vision and hearing 3rd part is with a doctor. Check your heart, lungs, check for hernias, reflexes and make sure you have no back/shoulder injuries. I might be forgetting some but I think that was it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went Tuesday but couldn't pass the vision so I had to get glasses. I passed the next day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob Posted April 7, 2018 Share #60 Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) From what I heard from basic training and interview, they gonna pick people and I was wondering if all people got selected or not. So there were only 3 or 4 people at medical? Edited April 7, 2018 by Noob 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an email with one after basic skills class. I wasn' sure if all 12 were getting one or only 8 of us. I was offered employment as long as I passed the interview, medical exam and completed paperwork. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
