OOOPPPSSS!!!! I just got back to work from a FRA signal violation. 1yr 2 months off. Thank GOD for BRCF!!! 15yrs as an NS Engineer doesn't mean squat when you slide 2 and a half engine lengths through a signal, even though I had no air in the train.

Dave, did you say you were suspended for A YEAR AND TWO MONTHS? GOOD GRIEF!!!!!!! How do you recover from something like that? I'd slap forget how to do my job after 14 months of NOT doing it! MAN! I can't get over that.......

Our's was a fra signal violation to. But we had a signal we was stopped for 10 min. then got a restricting. But they said we didn't have it. Go figure there word against ours it has been about 9 months now

Do you have "Cutoff Insurance"? BRCF saved my a$$.

No I didn't I had the papers filled out 6 months prior and didn't turn them in. Yeah I know I am a dumb ass. But luckily I have a bunch of friends that have kept me busy building stuff. I might of missed a week of working so far but it is starting to slow down

I hope you get back soon! And invest in "cutoff insurance", its well worth it.

I am the guy that does the maintenance, fixes the roof, drives the truck, fixes the truck, plant Superintendant, corprate Safety Auditor, and the sewer stirrer when it plugs up.

I shrinkwrap boats on the side.

yeah I learned that the hardway.

I currently work as an Electrician for Haverhill North Coke Plant in Franklin Furnance, Ohio, been there for about 9 months now and I am a member of the United Steelworkers local 2116 out of Portsmouth, Ohio and worked at Mill's Pride as an Electrician for 10 years prior (non-union). This was the best move I've made, Mill's Pride was going downhill slowly and I got out of it before they started laying off Maintenance people about 3 weeks after I left......that was a close one!

"Lets go get stupid"

I graduated from High school in 1990 and a week later went to work for Averitt Express as a truck and trailer mechanic and have been there every since . Our shop in Jackson Tn mostly rebuilds wrecked trailers but for the last year we have been installing Thermo-King tri pac pony motors on all their 1200 road trucks

Booner, I live about 10 minutes from Averitt's facility in Cookeville, Tn. Holler at me if you are ever up this way.

Darlene-I currently use a broker out of knoxville that gives me sweet deals on loads. If you think you can beat their pricing send me an email to chris@kustomproducts.net.

You know if we(buggy riders) can help each other out with work or possibilities of work we should always do it.

Where did you say the weenie trail is?

Well DVS1 it looks like CSX has seen the light and decided to put me back to work with full back pay and a clean record after 14 months of being off. They decided to do it one week before arbotration. They tried there best to starve me out. Any ways it looks like I will have the funds to finish the s/c pakrat.

Oh yeah the first thing I am going to do when I go back is get cut off insurance.

Full backpay? Sweet deal! Congrats!

Its a shame that companies try to starve people out of their unemployment by denying and fighting it when people apply. Sad thing is, most of the time they win.

Yeah they would of put me back about nine months ago if I would of signed a paper saying I did it. And then they wouldn't of had to pay me or give me my time towards my retirement.
