RR Hiring Question

Post Body

Specifically Amtrak Cascades. Most every post and comment I’ve read has stated that an off the street hire would be incredibly difficult to get even a callback after applying. In theory I feel like I’d meet the requirements on the posting for the nearest facility (PDX)

I’m currently a foodservice semi truck driver and teamster doing regional haul through the PNW. 4 years experience, in all conditions, with a solid record. The lifestyle seems rather similar, but I’ve neared the pay ceiling for my job without getting into Hazmat hauling (which I don’t want to do)
