Hello everyone, Just wanted to wish everyone who is taking the BOSS exam tomorrow good luck!! I am freaking out about it but I am looking forward to it lol.

Looks like I got my letter on Saturday also. I just checked the mail and it was there!

Awesome man good luck. I have one more class myself with Jack. I am going to be signing up for the road test this week. I am a bit nervous, I think I will be fine but taking tests is not my thing. Just need to take the skills I learned from the training and just apply them to the road test. I also like to get ahead of the game myself. Getting the CDL will open up another set of jobs for myself, which will be nice. I was thinking about possibly working for Island Charter or Pioneer or something else along the CDL line for the time being while I wait for MTA. We shall see!

Hey Hockey, I was concerned about this also and I talked to my instructor and he also said nothing under the hood just everything he was showing me will be on the test. I see that your from Staten Island any chance your using AAAA for your training and is your instructor Jack?

Hey Busman, I also just got my email and phone call to take the BOSS on Oct 4th at James Madison. I am happy to see the ball is rolling a little bit with this exam. I know it takes time but just looking forward to seeing my list #. Anyone have any advice on taking the BOSS exam, this something that could be studied? or is this like a test you would get after a job application to a retail job.

Good evening everyone! Just want to say that I am excited to be taking the next step on the road of possibly becoming a MTA bus operator! I have a question, I know the BOSS exam is in October and was wondering has anyone received the letter explaining that they passed and were invited to take the test and where to go for the BOSS exam? I know it's still early in September but I just wanted to make sure Thanks for any information!! Dominick

Good evening everyone! First time poster here, so I just wanted to say hello, and wanted to thank everyone for the information provided so far! I just wanted to say I ended up passing the BO/4600 exam with a only getting 2 wrong, Woott! , and I finally saw today that the MTA has update that they are proceeding with the next part of the process and giving the people who passed, the BO/4600 test, the BOSS exam. I am really looking forward to taking the next step to possibly being able to join the MTA. Question, I am looking to get my CDL on my own just so I am prepared for whenever I get called for MTA and also just in case I get called for the DOT. I ended up starting classes today. (Drove a large vehicle for the first time ever, very nerve racking but fun!). In the NYC CDL manual you get from the DMV it goes over in the pre-trip exam, and one of the steps is that you need to open the hood and check the hoses and the oil, and other items but my instructor is telling me different and the walk through paper the school gives you on the training bus does not go over it. Is this true, is that something you don't have to do during the pre-trip part of the the CDL test?I am very worried that I am going to take pre-exam test and fail the pre-trip because I don't know some items under the hood. Thanks for any information that anyone can provide!

Evening everyone! First time poster here, just wanted to say hi to everyone in the group, and also ask a question about the CDL requirement. I took the 4600 test and ended up passing with a 98 woot! . I saw today that they finally updated the information on the website about our test and the BOSS exam will be given on October 4th. So I am exited to at least be able to advance to the next step. I have decided to go on my own and get the CDL, has anyone done thing and if so, when you took the pre-trip exam, did you have to check under the hood for the hoses. I am a bit nervous because in the CDL manual under the pre trip part of the book, it goes over all the "under the hood" steps but my instructor is telling me that is not required and they do not test you on that. So I thought I would ask over here and maybe someone might know!
