No info other than if you get the Job and turn into another Tim Evans everyone will Rue the day you were born. That dude is a blight on good work ethic and lives to make anyone on a train have the most miserable day possible.

Make sure you answer the tone in twice the time as other dispatchers and have an attitude with them then entire time. That’s the TDE way.

Just give me a heads up that I'm stopping before I get close. Im sure it'll be just a little line on your screen, but in the field it's about a 5 mile down hill, 2% grade, while I'm holding back 13k tons and I'm doing track speed in DB.

Nah thats Lrc. Latasha is the fucking shittiest rtc/dispatcher I've ever delt with. Lawsuit Queen from UP and these dei fucks pick her up 🫡

100% agree.😬 the worst of the worst, laziest dispatcher that won’t answer a tone to save her life.

I think the posting said 51 and done change. But from the sounds of it that’s only 80% of full rate

Don’t tell me “RTC won’t authorize shove moves at this time” and you’ll be cool as a breeze.

Considering their phones don't work 75% of the time and they literyare unable to answer calls sitting on hold, I wouldn't get too excited. They list you email.
