CSX: Day in the Life of a Freight Conductor

 

[VIDEO] Perhaps for your interest for those of you looking for a job, and hopefully one that pays very well here's a video for being a freight train conductor for the CSX railroad. I didn't really look up much information as far as pay or even benefits, however, it does seem that in general if you work in transportation when you start you must be available anytime your employer calls.

I think this is standard in the transportation industry you must have a mandatory 10 hour rest period between shifts. Also once you begin to gain some seniority that you will eventually get your choice of shifts. Say you're tired of working nights so instead you work mornings for example.

The one fascinating thing about working for a railroad - or transportation in general - you can visit a lot of places in America or around the world. Who's to say in your 10 hour rest period you decide to do some tourism type activities depending up where you might wind up after you get off work.

Check out the CSX Careers page if perhaps you might have the interest. And yes I will say for the record that this video is a bit corny as far as it's presentation but then look at it this way. If these companies want you to work for them they have to sell to you as much as you have to sell to them so that they can hire you.
