So I think I may have found my own answer but if someone could confirm. The application states that I don't need NYC residency for this position but it does say that "A Class B Commercial Driver License (CDL) valid in the State of New York, with a passenger endorsement and no restrictions that would disqualify you from performing the duties of this position" I am really sorry for this dumb question but I want to be 100% sure. Does this mean I can have ANY state CDL as long as it's valid in the state of NY?

Hey everyone, Question. So my girlfriend just ended up getting a house in NJ and we will both be moving out there. I am currently I had to take myself off the list because of personal issues but I will soon be reinstating my name back onto the list. Will the MTA not hire me now that I am moving to New Jersey? Just looking for some advise here. I have my CDL now but I was going to transfer it to NJ, I just don't know if they would hire someone with a NJDL Thank you very much for any information that you can provide.

Hey guys. Real quick question. My girlfriend and i are looking to move to New Jersey. Will this be an issue with the pre employment? Not sure if i should wait until i get thorugh pre emploment.

Good evening everyone. So after a 2 months of taking care of my mom i can finally say i am able to start this process over again and i really am looking forward to this. So maybe someone can help me. About 2 months ago i was called for my pre employment and to take my drug test. I went in did ehat i had to do and waited. I got an email in the middle of june to come down for medical. Unfortunately i was not able to make it due to family issues with my mom.so i had to decline the medical. How do i start this process over again? I heard you can just place yourself back on the list but it still tells me i am currently on the list and an outstanding certification and it does not tell me i was removed from the list. Any idea who i would be able to contact about this issue? I don't mind reduing this process again, i just want to be able to have a chance to do it. Thanks everyone!!

Good evening everyone, Just a real quick question. About 2 weeks ago I went down to Livingston for Pre-employment. I got called in for medical the week after. The issue I had was that my mother had to go in for emergency surgery and she needed someone to take care of her for a few months. I emailed Mr's Chestnut and explained the situation and told her that at this time I was not able to make it medical that weekend and I would have put everything on hold until my mom got better which would be in a few months. I was wondering, I know when the time comes I need to reinstate my name, was just wondering how long it takes for the MTA to report my name back to DCAS so I could reinstate my name. As of right now DCAS still says I am on the list and I am on an outstanding certification. I know the system would tell me I am off the list and will have to reinstate my name. I am not ready yet to do this, but I just want to make sure that I have this option ready when the time comes to reinstate my name.. I hope this all makes sense Thanks for your tme

Thanks man. It bothers me that this is something that I need to deal with right now. I been waiting for so long but I don't want to not be able to commit to a training that I may not be able to complete.I didn't want to ruin my chances by getting into training and having to leave.. I don't think that would look good at all. I rather just deal with this now instead of just waiting more time by going to training and not completing it. It would not be fair to the MTA and myself. I have a question about re-enlisting my name. Does that save my spot on the list and I would be the next person that they would call when they hire from that list? Would my name stay on the list until 2020 or until they are complete with all the names on the list? I am really sorry about all the questions. Just trying to get an idea on what I am getting into. I really don't want to lose my chance to work for the MTA and the issue that I am dealing with is more important than even a job right at this moment now.. I don't think think I will be off the list more than 3 months but who knows, so that's why I am asking the questions. Thanks again for all the help.

Evening everyone. So as much as i hate to post this but i have an issue that has come up that is preventing me from starting this job. I have already went for pre employment and i was just called this week for medical. Can some explain what can be done? I still want this job but starting the rest of this process right now is no longer going to work out for me. Is there anything i can do to save my number? Thanks guys.. for any assistance you can be to me right now.

Figured as much. All good. I am 309X, so I am sure I will be hearing from them at some point. (fingers crossed)

Congrats tdevon. What was your list #? just wondering because I went in on Monday for drug test and have not been called back yet. Just trying to get an idea.

Hey everyone, So I am here just waiting patiently until they call me for medical; 3-90 days they told me... It's weird because i'm not sure why they would say 90 days because doesn't make sense the drug test expires in 30... so you would have to go back again for another drug test, ugh lol hopefully I get called before that.. lol Anyway to my question. So there was a lot of talking from people while I was at 180 Livingston and they mentioned that if you next size is 17 inches or larger, they require a sleep apena test; is this true and if it is am I able to get the test before I get called in for medical?

Completely worth it. Just annoying LOL. Wow you've been waiting since March, have you tried calling and seeing what's going on?

Hello everyone. So first day of pre employment was really long. I got there around 6:45am thinking "if i am in line early, i will get out early.. well i was very wrong. So i waited online outside until about 7:10. We signed in and headed up stairs and waitined online again to get a ticket ( tickets do not go in order...) so once i got my ticket and a few sheets to fill out.. and than you wait.. and wait... and wait.. they did not call me until 230.. when i went up, they looked over my paperwork, asked me a few questions, gave me back my items and sent me in to take the drug test. I was in there waiting another 20 30 mintues to be seen. You fill out more paperwork, pee in a cup and head back to the desk and they told me that i will notified 3 - 90 days. My advice is to bring something to read or do while you wait because you will be bored also make sure you go over your packet and all the dates line up because they will make you go sit down and fix it. Now i wait for the medical. Hopefully that call or email won't take too long

Thanks Seven for getting back to me. Should be fun tomorrow...

So late night question before off to pre employment tomorrow! Is there a interview or do i just go in turn in my paperwork then drug screening?

Anyone going for pre-employment down at livingston street tomorrow?

Just wondering. What's a CPD packet? I am guessing more paperwork? Is that filled out during pre employment or they give you something to take home? Btw i just wanted to thank everyone thats has answered all my questions. Its nice to know theres a support team here. Might sound stupid but i am kinda nervous about the whole thing.

4 points. Thats all i have. So hopefully that wont mess me up.. I have an A3 and B (corrective glasses) on my cdl. The letter says no restrictions. Will those 2 give me an issue?

First off congrats tdevon and Frank! I also just recieved my pre-emploment package. I'm excited ans nervous to finally get the ball rolling with the first steps! I have to go down on Monday the 23rd also. So i have a few questions. 1. How long does pre-emploment take before medical and starting class if everything goes right? Month, weeks, days? 2. How picky are they with the years of your jobs ? They're asking from all the way back to highschool. I rememeber all of my jobs, but the month i started might be off... 3. They are also asking for "pending tickets" i am guessing thats all tickets that are not paid correct? I got one last year for speeding and i just ended up paying it. Sorry for all the questions. Should be a fun weekend filling out this application.

So after a 40 minute wait on hold to try and get in touch with someone. My name has been officially restored to the list and they said the next time the MTA uses that list I should be called :fingers crossed: Just wanted to thank everyone that answered my questions from before and guided me to where I needed to go. Seems like they had a real old address on file..even though I made the change back in January and had email confirmation. o00o0o well. I'm just happy to be back on the list! So another question for all the vets out there.. How did you guys quit you job? I'm honestly worried about that. I been working with my current job for the past 5 years and I have a really great relationship with them. I was recently promoted also so I do have a new manage,so I cant just keep her in the loop on whats going on. I'm guessing you need take take up any vacation that you currently have for the amount of training that is required. I was told no, but do they give you at least 2 weeks before you start to give some sort of notice? I really would hate to burn bridges and all, so I'm kind of worried about that.. This is a much better opportunity but you never know what can happen. I would like to say I'm going to be with the MTA until I retire but anything can happen.

It's funny because I was just freaking out to my girlfriend about this.. She asked me if I might of threw out the envelope. I think that the envelope would have the MTA Logo on it and I don't think I would of ever thrown anything out like that! I'm going to call them tomorrow. I also sent the an email to certificationunit@dcas.nyc.gov explaining what happened and to see if they could reinstate my # if it really does have to be reinstated. I'm going too look out for the letter this week, maybe I will end up getting it. I'm also going to take your advice and call that number tomorrow and see what they have to say. I have waited this long.. what's another 2 more months. It's just annoying me that I waited this long and I got taken off the list without even being sent a letter (unless it's on it's way still..) Thanks for getting back to me so soon about this. I was giving myself a heart attack at 11:00pm at night lol

Good evening everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me out. So i decided to call DCAS and check on what list number they are on and it looks like they are on list number 3095. My issue that I am having and it's making me worried is that it seems like they removed my name from the list. My list number is 30xx the list number has passed me. I never received any sort of mail or call from the MTA or DCAS. I'm going to reinstate my name because this is something I really been waiting for and hearing the news that my name was removed from the list really hurt me because I really been waiting patiently for this. Can someone give me some advise on what I should be looking out for; letter (does it say MTA on it or is it a plain package.), email, phone call and if it is a phone call any idea what number it might be coming from 212#?. Is there someone I can call or email about this or should I just send in the letter? I did move but back in January but I emailed and had my address changed and I did get a response back saying that my address was updated. Also when I reinstate, how long does it usually take to get your name back on your list, and if the name does go back on the list do I got to the back of the list? Sorry for the questions, just was really concerned. Thank you so much for your time and any advise you can provide. Dom

Hey 161 Thank you so much for the response. This was done in New York. If I can have up to 4 then I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and just pay the ticket. I think for this ticket I'm going to get 4 points so I think from here on out I'm going to drive like grandma. I rather not pay a lot more money to go to court and loose. Thank you again for the information I really do appreciate it

Hey Everyone. Hope all is doing well. Still waiting very patiently for the scores for test 4600 and trying to keep my nose clean. Unfortunately today I ended up getting a speeding ticket. This is my first ticket in a very long time. I'm really worried that this is going to affect me getting into the MTA. I've tried so hard to not have any infractions under my belt but I guess I screwed this one up. So questions. Does this ruin my chances of getting into the MTA? Is it worth fighting the ticket or just bite the bullet pay the fee and take the class to get rid of the points? I was thinking about going down and talking to the judge but I don't know how much that would help. I was in the wrong so I can't fight it on that end. I just don't want to ruin my chances because of this one mistake. Any suggestions? Thanks guys

Just got home from taking the test Finding parking was the worst. I had to park on Nostrand ave and walk. So besides getting soaked I walked a mile lol. Anyway the test wasn't that bad. Just common sense question which I hope I did well on. ( I hate these types of test because I tend to over think the questions). Now it's just waiting time for the results Fingers crossed oh and to top off the day, i get a dam parking ticket because my parking ticket was turned upside down since I was in a rush to make it to the school Think I should pay it or fight the ticket? I paid for the dam parking, I guess I just flipped it over on accident when placing it on my windshield. First ticket I got in 12 years
