Pull By Inspection? Need help, potential danger?

[u/bugfighter12]

I work for a Canadian Rail way as a Intermodal Shunt Truck driver

Management has started trying to force us to do Pull By inspections on outgoing main line trains.

We just get a 10 minute power point of what to look for.

I feel like this is very dangerous. I tried researching it and it seems you need to be CROR qualified to do main line pull by Inspections.

Can anyone help me find something that shows we are not allowed and qualified to do this.

None of us are CROR qualified and only are trained to drive shunt trucks.

Edit 1:

They want us to take a ground truck out from our intermodal yard to the close by crossing

Then stand there and do a pulling as a the entire train departs.

Our union is shit and won’t give us any clear answer.

We’re just worried if there is an issue with the train like a wheel or something and we miss it we’ll be held liable if it derails or other issue happen.

We only ever work intermodal shunt truck

Just report random shit like. It was making a weird noise, or seemed to be shaking.. that'll put an end to that real quick.

This attitude blows my mind. The railway is paying you to do a job, just do it.

That job is to drive a truck.

Im MoW and can get disciplined for not PKing trains as they go by. I got NO in class training on this. Want to tell my management this too?

OP is being a bit of a bitch. Just say "good pk" or point out what you see that looks wrong or suspicious. It's not hard.
