Came home with 5 contracts, decided on 2 companies and yes they are part of the big 5, mostly coz they know the system and the others had no idea!! One wanted me to start work yesterday!!! eh doh what about the old class 1 and air brake I suggested.... they did not even know I had to convert or assumed I already had...

Anyway, 2 companies in 2 provinces, now it a matter of who gets the LMO and best start date for me, then off I go.

And yes they both know about the other.

Apart from the wreck, a bloody good trip, and something I would advise anyone, esp. a single chap to undertake. All companies were well impressed with the effort shown.
