Current Polls/Questionaires
Below is a QR code and a link to a form to be used for reporting the use of chase crews in ID pool service. As most of you are aware, BNSF has increased the use of chase crews under the premise of making deadheads a productive start. What we see is that they are now using the pools to dog catch and many times deadhead because the train makes it over the road. These crews were not going to be deadheads in most cases; therefore, the extra board should have been the correct call for the HOS relief. I am attempting to gather data on the issue in hopes to put it in front of BNSF and show them the errors of their handling. I can’t guarantee that this will bring a resolution we are looking for, but we must try. I need everyone’s participation gathering factual data to present.
I would ask that you make a webapp on your phone out of this link for easy access.
