Good info. I called the number and talked to the gentleman about the next course which will be on or about November 16 2013 At 85-15 101 Ave Christ Lutheran Church in south Ozone Park Queens 10416, Opens @9am and starts around 10am. 6 Hour course. I am exicted to participate. I sent them an e-mail and waiting for them to confirm the date and place. I think it was 75 bucks? Extra info is always better.
Another question I have is that I went to the DMV and took the written test for the CDL General, Air Brakes, School, And Passenger enodorsement. I have not yet practiced driving a "bus". I did schedule a roadtest myself for October in the bronx Zerega Ave, just to see if i pass it and to get the idea of what they are asking for. Im not sure if this is a place where anyone can recommend a good driving school that can "Teach me" the basics and to use for the road test. If i pass the exam on my own then I would be ready with a CDL License, but yet little to no experience.
I heard that MTA like Newbies better because they train them the way they want to drive with out the bad habbits.
I understand its a long shot, but if anyone does have anything further to add I would appreciate it.
Side note, Will having slightly elevated blood pressure, take no med just baby asprin, deny you for the job when called?
My DOT Certificate is good for 2 years and was on the cut off @ 137/94, i understand if it was higher then I would get DOT Cert for 1 year or so.
