Great ppl...Nice travel..Nice pay when traveling

Management changes and communication with the guys in the field

The crew I worked with was awesome and we all got along great.

You have a company that is contracted to do track compliance testing for the FRA and not even one person on the car knew how to use a string line. Also didn’t know how to accurately take gauge measurements. We got out to check a gauge defect and I told them I would delete it due to gaps between the rail and plate and also roll over. Everyone laughed at me and told me I was wrong. I stood my ground and told them they needed to read the 213 book again. At the end of the day they told me I was right. You think you would see management since that car is there only money maker but no you don’t see anyone. Nothing gets done but they all have 50 plus’s teams meeting a day discussing pointless things. The thing that put me and the rest of the guys I worked with over the edge was when they said that we were going to be required to work 20 hours a week from home on our off week. Like we already work 3-6 weeks away from home at a time and now they wanted us to work when we were home? That was it. 2 of us walked off the job that day. Another one left the following week. Also when I was there they had been operating for 4 years I think and had not completed 1 successful test for the FRA in that time.
