They call us auto rail loaders. And yea its physical work, but they pay like $50k+ a year.. thats good money for needing nothing other than a driver's license and relatively clean driving record

Worked for these guys in Benecia California I'll tell ya. It wasn't easy at first. You gotta adapt to the weather. Cold or Hot. I was 220 when I started and dropped to 212lbs for a 6'2 guy when I resigned. It kept me fit is what I loved about the job. Breaking chalks and placing them on the vehicles was a pain the ass. But if I was to go back to do all over again I wouldn't mind it

@scottthewaterwarrior Жыл бұрын

I assume they place small ramps between the train cars so they can drive the automobiles through the whole thing and not have to unload each train car separately? Been trying to find some images/video of that part and can't.

We place steel plates between railcars; each plate weighs around 45 pounds. Another team opens the wagon's doors, and another team "strips" the sabos (chocks), thats a pain in the ass this time of the year because they are frozen, so we have to kick the hell out of those chocks. My shift starts in 10 hours, and we have an extreme cold warning because tomorrow, at noon, the forecast shows a maximum temperature of -28 Celsius. Kind of cold, eh? Cheers from Quebec.

It’s not easy when you’re working at the Az yard in the summer when it’s 200 degrees inside the rail cars and you have to break the chalks off the tires on the 3rd deck or c deck! if he’s says it’s easy he’s lying they only showed the easy part of driving and parking the cars lol 😆 they didn’t show them opening all the train doors , hanging all the plates , breaking the chalks off the cars not to mention whenever you park a car you jump back in the shuttle van and have to practically sprint up the ladder to do it all over again 100s of times then close all the train doors when your done on a nice day it’s not to bad but when it’s 114 degrees it’s no cakewalk

Autoport in North Toronto. OMG. The amount of abuse on the cars by the habibis was epic. Thought Hansens was bad, I was wrong. Nothing like taking a AMG GT out of transport mode in -35 then bouncing it off the limiters for 5 mins straight to warm up the car. Rinse, repeat every benz.

@garyjablonski2951 5 жыл бұрын

Don't know about this specific case, but I had a similar job one Summer in the late '70's. It was a Teamsters' gig, vacation relief. It paid about $10.00 an hour to start. Definitely what we called "good money" back then. That said, it was very challenging physically, because we spent much inside nearly-enclosed train cars, tight space, chaining down and unchaining autos, using a hammer to unfreeze rusted chain ratchets) in a hot environment. That said, I heard the guys who worked at Bethlehem Steel had it tougher!
