Congrats !! Make sure to always be on time that is key, as well as pay attention to the information the instructors give you. It's going to be an information overload the first two weeks or so but it will become much easier for sure!! If you have any questions feel free to ask !! 

 

Thank you!..can't wait and excited also!

as I said previously, you are basically one accident away from being fired (during probabtion).  You will have an extra layer of protection after you pass your probation.  I am saying go have an accident after passing probation.  The more you drive, the chance of getting into an accident is higher.

Worst pay you can get is report all week and didn't get sent out, so 8 hours a day x 5, 40 hours a week

Pieces of work are different $ values. There is a lot involved in how much your paid. Sundays pay more, and if the work your doing is farther away you are paid travel time. To get work that pays 50 will take A few years of seniority ( more if your at a senior division)  As a new operator you are bottom everyone else will pick work before you. It's not as cut and dry as 8 hours 5 days a week

Exactly. Only anything over your scheduled work would be OT.

You make the same rate no matter what work you do, so if you're at starting rate (26 something/hour) you'll make that rate for your first year on the job. The thing is as Mrsb2you pointed out, each piece of work comes with a certain 'crew value'(the amount of hours and minutes you are paid for a specific piece of work). The lowest paying pieces of work (specials) have a crew value of 8h flat. Regular small crews pay 8h15min whereas some larger crews can pay between 9 and 12h. If you're on spareboard and end up being on report some days, the days you get sent home after no work becomes available, you'll be paid for 8h. Needles to say, you'll always be paid for a minimum of 40h each week, but more often, you'll be paid for more than that.

You could pick work that pays you 11 hours each day. You'd only get paid OT if you do work in addition to that.

When you are on a split shift can you work somewhere else while you are on break between shifts? Uber for example?

No side/part-time jobs without prior approval.  Also any side driving jobs count towards your maximum allowable hours driving.

It depends o the driving hours.  Some crewws pay 1.5 after certain number of driving hours are done per day. Check thr crew guide and it will tell you if you get a little bit of ot or not.

Hello All,

I just had my interview this past Tuesday. Tons of behavioural questions, about 16 including job shadow. At the end of the interview, my interviewer said she will make an assessment including my job shadow then let me know later in 30 days about the result. She also asked my permission to contact my references as well as do the police report. 

Is that a good sign that I move on to the next stage or standard procedure after the interview? 

 

 

 

[leylandvictory2]

Looks like it.  Why would she bother seeking permissions to talk to your references?

I think it is standard procedure. They have more than one recruiter all doing interviews at the same time. I was told that the third party company that does the reference calls gets those done while more interviews are being done so that the reference checks are completed when the interviews are all done and they decide which people to advance to the next round.

[Newbie22]

If they contact your references within a couple days of the interview, does that mean you passed the interview? 

Or do they check all references ?

[Libra]

@leylandvictory2 & @RocketmanCC

Thanks for your response?

Correction to what I mentioned earlier before the interview started she let me fill up the form for my references first then at the end of interview the police report form.
