Questions about UP hiring session.

See, I don't know if it was desperation on UP's part, at least out here, but they were asking US who wanted to be an engineer, who was interested in dispatching, yardmaster, management, etc....They were very out front in saying that the opportunity existed for any of those paths in a very short time. I never once got the impression that they frowned upon people wanting to progress to other areas. Maybe it's just the sheer number of people they have hired (and are still hiring) and looking at the big picture and ALL the slots that need to be filled eventually.

Thanks for all of information. I think I will go ahead and apply for a current trainservice position with the UP. Hopefully all goes well.

Good luck to you buddy.

As far as I know, UP looks very favorably on military service and anyone with a CDL and/or large equipment experience.
