I just started with NJT as a bus operator. I am at Oradell. I did get a choice between 3 garages. The garage choices were given based on distance from your address. I choose Oradell because I like MCIs and I like driving into the Port Authority. You get one week’s vacation after your first year that you bid on in seniority order. Basically as a newbie I will pick last. I am in training now having fun. As far as work is concerned (routes, hours etc) you also pick based on seniority. I have been told that when you graduate you go straight to the extra board. I graduate June 2 with a new pick starting July so fingers crossed I won’t be on extra board long
I’m starting my training with NJT on May 4th…what do I have to look forward to? I’m coming in with my CDL. Curious though why does training start on a Thursday? Is it better to take NJT to the training facility or drive? I know the 1 and the 108 go there.
I was able to see the paddles for most of the NJT garages online but as of this morning it seems that Oradell and Westwood as taken there paddles offline…anyone else having that problem?
