I agree 100% with everything said. I have my permit so I'm waiting on the dmv road test but I had a guy that came in my last 2 days of training and he failed his first road test but he handled the bus like a champ. Thankfully he passed the 2nd test and got the job but he said the dmv test is a different animal but if you treat it as the regular driver test its easily passable.

Thank you and yes we get paid starting from day 1 orientation.

Do they handle the post qualification days?

Just wanted to update everyone- I qualified today on my day 7 and I have to thank everyone for their advice. I have a problem though because our instructor told us to report to jamaica tomorrow but I don't see one for Mabstoa. Does anyone know what depot that would be?

Congrats tee1963 and good luck! Looks like the list is moving super fast.

From what I've read you still continue training after you qualify for the dmv road test but the road test isn't for a few weeks after qualifying so will they give you a day to go to the dmv to renew your permit if need be because mine runs out May 5th and I have to wait until the beginning of April to renew my permit due to being on a fixed income?

Congrats Gucio84!

Just wanna say thanks to everyone here for sharing their wisdom and experiences. I cleared up my medical situation and will be starting training on the 23rd and the info I've gotten from this forum is invaluable. I bought all my necessities this morning (tie, shirt, pants, boots and even a navy blue polo jacket) so I'm ready for the next step.

Thanks for the answer!

Does anyone know if you're allowed to wear clip on ties during training?

That's good to know thanks.

Thanks for the info! Do they give you a metro card for everyday of training?

That's cool. I know it takes 7 to 10 days to qualify so would it be 7 days back to back plus the extra 3 (if needed) which would be about 2 weeks?

Just got back from the doc and he did a full physical to make sure nothing else was wrong. Results should be in by Wednesday and he's confident everything is ok so hopefully I'll be headed by straight to Brooklyn after that. Does anyone know how long it takes from day 1 training until you get your cdl license after passing the training?
