• Pull hoses and operate fuel nozzles
• Work safely around active rail equipment

• Follow all company, railroad, DOT, and safety procedures
• Be prepared to work outdoors in all weather conditions Because rail operations run 24/7, dispatches can occur at any time during your shift. You'll be paid for the entire 12-hour shift—including breaks, lunch, and wait time—regardless of the number of dispatches received.
