So it looks like you and i are probably gonna be in the next round of letters and riello unfortunately we didnt get it this time around

No but im anxiously awaiting #10XX

They're still saying 944 is the last one hired. Is there anyone in the December or January class? Because no one seems to know if these classes even took place. #10XX

I got #944 when i called Ms Robinson. Marcel876 said he met a few guys on the job at 239st. One of them said their list# was 940. Maybe they didnt update the automated system?

This question is for anyone thats newly on the job less than a year or two. What does your check look like after the end of two weeks? Taxes fees union dues ect. Whats the gross and the net pay? Number 10xx

Gotta call the number on the bottom of letter of results and they would tell you. The last track worker hired was #944 meaning passed urine medical orientation got their pass ect. If i had to guess probably between 1100-1200 maybe early 1300s. The only way to know for sure would be to call.

And the medical after the urine test is done by email. List#10xx

Hey everyone hope you're doing well. I called Mrs Robinson today to ask about classes and such. The last person to be hired by the MTA for track worker is list# 944. There less than 150 people ahead of me. I tried to ask when the next class would be or how many more classes there would be this year but they do not tell her that. For us 10xx`s and 11xx`s im banking on early 2017. Were probably gonna have to take another urine test and hopefully theyll call us soon after that for the medical. List#10xx

No i tried to call and ask. All they would tell me about was bus schedules and metro card issues. List Number 10xx

Hey thanks. i was in the first 10 to be called for the urine test [they only allow two at a time when i went] Im gonna call them in a week or so. Ms. Robinson seems the best choice to call. i think ill also call P.S. 248 and ask how many classes they will have for the rest of the year. Hopefully i wont miss the cutoff point and they'll call me before November. Ill keep every posted on this as it progresses. Thanks

Capital Nights How long did it take from when you first took the urine test for them to email you for the medical? I did the Urine test on Oct 7 they said it would take anywhere from 3-90 days. I also read that the classes are full in Oct so it might be around early 2017 for the next batch of classes. Thanks

quick question in regards to the education part of the 21 page packet: should we put our middle schools and elementary schools even if we dont know the dates and specifis or is high school and college good enough?

Hey thanks +Young+ just wanted to be sure. My list number is between 1050 and 1100 if that helps

Went today to 180 Livingston for the first part of this process. We signed in went up to the fifth floor and signed in again.They looked at my paperwork [invitation letter, job history packet, ss card, birth certificate and driver license] gave us a 21 page packet to complete at home and some other paperwork to fill out there for past employment and a background check. We were called based on the order we signed in. When everything is in order they send you to the laboratory to get a urine sample. You get a receipt afterwards I just showed it to the people who handled your paperwork and we were free to go. They didnt do vision hearing breathe capacity. We didnt get any books or equipment or a pass number. We also didnt get fingerprinted. Is this everyones experience for track worker? Do we do all those things after the sample is analyzed and the background check comes back clean? Thanks, Kevin

Hi new to the forums just starting with transit. I have to go for my screening on friday I was wondering for any new people and some more experienced members if they have any tips when it comes to field work what kinds of clothes are durable for track work: pants, shoes[or insoles for the TA boots], shirts, Brands and item numbers are appreciated. what kind of stuff is good to wear in the winter to keep warm thermals ect. Can i bring my own gloves flashlight as a backup or if transit`s equipment isnt as good? what kind of items am i required to keep with me at all times besides my helmet pass gloves and flashlight? What is difficult about this job tedious/ heavy lifting grease gunk ect getting on your hands and hard to get off. I dont mind any of it i just want to be prepared. Thanks
