Got another question for anyone who can answer. Heard a few things. All hear say on benefiting from travel expenses? Having a choice on hotel or on your own as far as perdiem goes. Wondering if having a camper trailer would be a good investment for out of town work. Thanks in advance.

@ Lee with as much work as i have heard that Charlotte has tons of local work, that's where you will be working primarily. Any out of town work will be random, and definitely not worth buying a camper trailer,

Appreciate it hog451. Good to know we have a ton of local work. Does the union compensate differently when choosing not to stay in a hotel or is that hear say?

If you get called do you have time to put in a 2 weeks notice? The reason I ask is because one guy said they called and he started the next day.

So they don't give you time to notify your current job that you will be quitting?

@buckeye: there is no time for a notice. It's "We have a job take it or we move on."

@Lee the Union does not compensate you, your company does. The union negotiated the terms of employment including per diem and travel reimbursement. You get perdiem whenever you're in a zone that has perdiem, Zones will be explained to you when you get hired. if you'rein a zone that qualifies for a hotel reimbursement; you get the room (keep it reasonable) they pay you back.

When I was hired I reported to the company, not the union. I didn't meet with a union guy until a month or so after I was hired. Each local is different.

@Lee I am pretty sure I am one person behind you. Called today and I am number 2. So that means you’re next.
