What You'll Do
This is not typical trucking. As a Locomotive Fueling Driver, you'll operate a specialized fuel truck to safely fuel locomotives for Class I Railroads. Approximately 90–95% of the job is performed outside the truck, making this a hands-on position.
Responsibilities
include:
-
Climbing in and out of your truck or locomotive steps multiple times per shift
-
Safely fuel locomotives using specialized fueling equipment
-
Stick fuel tanks and monitor fuel levels
-
Pull hoses and operate fuel nozzles
-
Work safely around active rail equipment
-
Complete required inspections and documentation
-
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.
