On the cbp app does everything say completed besides the fitness and poly? My drug test just cleared so I’m at 57% complete, does the background need to be cleared also on the app before they offer a port?

Do you guys know how many people are ahead of you in the call list? Or when they will start calling again?

I saw a couple of posts on here regarding areas with incentive pay. I work in one of those areas, Portal, North Dakota, and we have positions open. Portal is classified as a hard to fill location due to it being remote, in an oil field area and having to drive an hour and a half to buy groceries. The hunting and fishing is good. There are local schools and churches. You can grab a bite to eat or a cold beverage at the local bar. The work is interesting. We deal with everything but airports. We have passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, trains and container ships. Ok, not the ships themselves, just the containers. The containers come from all over Asia and India, get unloaded from the ship and on to a train that enters the U.S. at Portal, ND. We are always finding interesting things in the containers.

Base pay with the incentive is GS5-1 $41090, GS7-1 $50898, GS9-1 $62259, GS11-1 $75327, GS12-1 $90286. Plus shift differential, Sunday and holiday pay. Cha-Ching!

Does anyone know if we can take some 1 to the training in Maryland like a sibling for those 7 wks before GA? or do they not allow since its a govt paid room?
any insight would be helpful....also does anyone else have to ship there vehicle I'm 1500 miles away from my port location & needing to ship my SUV to San Diego does anyone have a company in mind or any insight; Ive done some research & there are so many companies....Thanks

When did you apply? I applied jul 2019 and I’m at 57% and my background started they did my last three locations I lived/worked so far. I haven’t heard about the other places yet. And I applied for the southwest.

18-3, mine is 71%. I am on call list and was told there was several people ahead of me.

What regions did you all apply for? Mine was southwest.

For my region, most locations were in the northeast, east coast and San Francisco. I set my preferred location as Buffalo.

Same thing for me. Investigator was quick. Just waiting on the review and drug test. Everything has been real quick.

Quick question on hours. I know that most custom officers work late nights like 12 am - 8pm. Sometimes in their shift work schedule. I’ve heard that aggies do not work late nights? Anyone know somewhat the typical hours? I’m just curious because I’ve heard about three officers mention this about Aggie schedules.
