Physcoles

Quick question. I already have my CDL, class B with A3 exemption. I recently got a tentative job offer with a private company & they paid to do the DOT physical (quick note, I don't need a CDL for this company, just a regular license) Should I go to DMV to amend my license or leave it with A3 exemption?

Don't think so, an ex cop who was convicted of bank robbery and served 5 yrs in prison was hired as an mta bus driver.

Ok. Thanks..

They actually cancelled it a while ago....from what I heard, they're expecting another large turnout, and they can't find a school in which they can administer the exam too...

They can always space it out for a few weekends like they are doing with the conductors exam.

At $60 plus dollars multiplied by tens of thousands that will take the exam, the mta can make a quick buck..

Wasn't the filing for train operators supposed to begin in June?

Just checked the mta website & it got cancelled.. Sucks...

Saw this question asked on another forum. Maybe someone here might have some information in regards.

If you get fired from a NYC job, will that disqualify you from getting on with MTA?

Where did you take the test? I was turned away after being 10mins late.

I took it at Midwood HS in the afternoon

Took the exam yesterday. Gotta say, it's all reading comprehension. Take your time & read everything carefully.

They gave the late comers a 30 min grace period.

@YoungNYCSubwayfan thanks a lot.. That was the packet I was looking for

Did someone here post before the forms which they give at medical which requires you to list work history etc?

If so, can someone repost it..

Was trying to find it with no luck... Thanks

Do you have to parallel park a bus?

Some people had to do it, I didn't have to parallel park it because there was too much traffic in the area designated to parallel park the bus.

I had a fender bender on 12/20/2015 where no police report was filed so Geico paid for my damages as well as the other party's.  I ran by abstract and it showed up.  Does this disqualify my from the position.  I was told by Geico that it wouldn't appear on the abstract since there was no report.  Is there a way to have it removed?

BTW I did work as an operator for two year with MABSTOA back in 99-2000 and resigned with no violations or incidents.

You can try & plead your case by calling DMV and speaking with Driver Improvement Unit, 518-474-0774..

If successful they should be able to get it removed.. If not, then it will still show on your abstract.

He is very knowledgeable and that is gladly appreciated but is all about respect and is the second unnecesary comment he makes .. Not getting emotional just clearin things up treat people with respect if u want to be respected thats all i got to say...

I understand where you're coming from... We will all know when the next batch of letter get sent out when everyone else on this forum starts posting it.. Good luck to everyone

All u had to do was not answering.. Simple as that...

I have to agree with @YoungNYCsubwayfan.. Like I said before, patience is a virtue. We will all get called eventually. Just hang in there

Btw @young is very knowledgeable in the hiring process & gives us good inside information, no need to get emotional because of what he said

Unless it is for the reasons stated here, you can not change your test date. Sorry.

Thanks for the response.. Hopefully my job will give me the day off

Does anyone know if I can postpone my test date for an earlier date?

I'm scheduled for April 30.

Red hook Brooklyn. I live in maspeth but this school in Brooklyn was able to get me the fastest road test so I went with them.

I did mines in Maspeth. Here are some tips I can give you,

Make sure you call every hazard, from every overpass, vehicles double parked, cars cutting you off etc.

When getting off the highway make sure you slow down. Don't just look straight, keep observing you surroundings & mirrors

Your driving school probably told you this, but before reversing the bus to park, turn bus off, take keys with you & let the inspector know that you're going to do a physical check of the rear of the bus. I was told if you don't do that that's an automatic failure.

Did you pass on your first try? I signed up for 6 one hour lessons. U think that's enough? The YouTube videos that psyhcoles and nycsubwayfan showed us really help. I have been watching them like 5-10 times a day. I am going for my 3rd and 4th lesson Saturday and 5th and 6th lesson Sunday. Hopefully that will be enough, my road test is on the 30th

Where are you having your road test?

When i click on the user it doesnt give me any option to send msg dont know if maybe is my app or what but i been tryin to figure it out for a while?

I don't use this forum on mobile version, I use the desktop version.

Guys how do u pm people i havent been able to figure that out?

Click on the username, then click on send message

How do I pm you??

Has anyone here recently taken to cdl B road test? Or does anyone remember their road test if they took it a while ago?

Passed my CDL B road test last month.. You can PM if you want

Why are so many people very impatient about when they will be called? Just know that you will get called eventually & while you wait get everything ready like documents, CDL etc.. Not trying to sound negative, just being realistic... Remember people, Patience is a Virtue...

First, check into whether or not it is or it is not on your abstract. Second, make sure you have all of the paperwork related to this.

 

If you're prepared - you'll probably be good to go. If not, be prepared to be placed on hold.

Thanks for the response Young.. It does show on my abstract, happened 3 yrs ago. And I do have the court disposition showing it got dismissed

That's all not true you can have at fault accidents I had one and still got hired

Any idea if MTA will hire me if I have a DWI arrest but not convicted of it? The DWI got dismissed by the ADA

Hey everyone. First time post on this forum..

I received NOE also, set for April 30 at 3pm @ Midwood HS
