Oh f**k I guess I might have a letter waiting for me for next week too. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it next week because I won't have any leave hours until mid November. Does anybody know if I could delay the day?

i am hoping the people already called for provisional have been skipped and everyone* above the 330 marker so far are the ones being contacted. trying to see when i may be called. 

I'm number 90* and I'm pretty confident I will be starting off before next spring if not next summer at the latest.

Can someone scheduled fir nov.2 state the list number they are up to when they go please and thanks. 

Highest I have seen so far is in the 330s. Looks good for the rest of us. Shows that not many people postponed the position.

Pre-employment letter for Nov.2 list # 31x. 

Bring a charger and make sure your phone is 100 percent charged. The day I went I spent almost 4 hours waiting to get my drug test done and my phone was dead lol it was torture

Was your call provisional? I heard they were calling people before the list was established. I ask because my number is in the low 1100s.

Yea it was provisional

I was 86* when I was called in for June 7. I took one urine and received a letter that my new list# is 91*   Nothing since. 

I was 86* and now I'm 90*...u and I will probably be in the same class

My list number is 81* and all I've received so far is a letter stating that I'm on the eligible list.  Has anyone else in the 800's been called for anything yet?

I haven't been reading this thread for a while, but I'm looking back through it now and people are talking about having already done medical exams?

I was 86* and I took a drug test already back in June. You should have too by now. Maybe u missed that letter.

I'm getting tired of calculating my income already I just want to see it happen lol. It's fun to think about it but this is taking so long.

Last exam they made it into the 8000s from the thread i read so your friend may stll have a shot

Oh I didn't realize they made it that far. I hope so because he had his heart set on it.

Yea im think of all the saving i can do and things i can get fixed and types if accts need to be put in place with this job all we can do is wait idont have the best list number but 15xx may be closer to getting called than i may think is what i tell myself

Don't worry man the good news is u will eventually be called. I took the test with a friend who really really wanted the job, but he did terrible and most likely will never be called. His list number is in the 7000s.

I hope they start calling people soon. This would put my small family in a good position. 

Man I do the math whenever I'm bored at work. This job would mean an extra 2000+ of income every month for my wife and I. Plus what we would save on health insurance since she's paying 500 a month out of her check for a family plan and I just found out mta has an Aetna family plan for like 30 bucks from each paycheck. I'm just patiently waiting for this life changing opportunity.

If you actually read the prior post you’ll already have any information you need. 

How many times can one ask what’s 180 Livingston phone number?

what list number are the up too?

is the list established? 

Reading is fundamental, how the hell are you gonna get passed school car or off probation is your afraid too fuc**** read. 

I dont give a shit how much your post jack ass, read the damn forum. 

Then post. 

It’s  that damn simple. 

READ...........

What the hell are you not understanding???????

is that a hard request, explain why that’s too much for you? 

I get that you frustrated about not being called yet, but no need for the bitchy attitude. Turn off your alerts and wait for the email from MTA. I don't see a need for animosity towards people that are just as eager as you are. To this point the thread has been very respectful, there's no need for that kind of energy.

I hear you, but on the flip side, why should those of us whose test scores didn't change have to suffer as well? I went from a 107* to the low 1100s because of the scoring error. Yet I have the same score after the adjustment, and my exam session wasn't the one with the grading mistake. Transit loves telling its employees they have to take accountability for their mistakes (and justifiably so). But when THEY screw up, where's their apology? How is this far for us to pay for their screwup?

Well the 30 or so people that are now in front of you had their scores adjusted and it brought them higher than u, even if yours didn't change. Sucks I know, I lost 40 something spots, but it is what it is. We will both be in transit before next summer. 

Anybody else that hasn't been contacted for their second lab yet? Mine expired September 7th and I still haven't heard shit. Maybe it's because they established the list and started calling from the top I guess...

Did they hit y’all up for medical already?

I still haven't even gotten notified for my 2nd lab yet. I guess I'll have to wait until they get back up to my number again, which has dropped 40 spots lol. 

Wow I went from the 860s to the 900s lol. Great. 

I doubt too many people deferred. This will probably add a month, maybe 2 or our wait time that's all.

There you go!

I spoke to someone and she said they just aren't up to that number yet. Maybe that guy was confused about his number lol.

Update - Spoke to Ms. Vargas on the phone. At the moment they are only up to list number 440. That means that those of us that do not get emails before our lab expiration date will be scheduled to take the second lab. She did not specify if they are sending out emails today. Good news is that there are school car classes scheduled throughout the rest of the year at the moment, so even if those of us in the 600 - 700’s don’t make it into the September class, chances are we will get in before the end of the year. 

Let us see what the end of the day brings.

I'm trying to go back through the thread to find a phone number. Would u mind sharing that number please? I thought it would be on my notice but I don't see it.

You could check your junk mail or call them.

If it makes you feel better, when we asked the guy his list number, he seemed confused and kept jumping between 100’s and 1000’s. So I could be wrong about his list number and he’s in the 100’s that deferred until now.

Yea but bro a few posts back said he's number 74x and he just took his 2nd lab Monday. So I'm definitely missing a notification. 

I went through my junk and didn't see anything so I will have to call them.

Make sure to check your junk I’m 74x I just did my second lab yesterday 

I check it daily and still nothing. Hmm is there a number I can call?

You have a real shot at getting called for sure.

I was talking to a guy who was in the 10xx’s doing his 2nd drug test on Monday.

That's concerning. I'm in the 800s and haven't gotten my email for the 2nd lab yet. What should I do?

Really thats awesome, congratulations. so there has already been some form of progression on the list. About how long ago was this? Think i could receive a letter or an email this year?

I got my first letter back in May and took the drug test on June 7th. My drug test expired and I'm waiting for contact to take the next drug test. If u read thru the thread a bit you will see there's been some movement for a while now. 

12 minutes ago, Mikeyjean said:

Justt curious... im list number 11xx. Do i have a realistic shot at getting called at all? I understand that list has not been established yet but from my understanding they are currently calling people for drug tests. Is this true and also if so appropriately what are they up to?

Yea man of course. I'm number 86x and I already took a drug test. U aren't that far after me.

Prepare to give up most of your personal life over the next couple months. If you have access to the signals start studying them. You must know them word for word. 100% is required on both signal tests. Get used to not using your cell phone at all unless on a break. A lot of current vacancies we are filling are from cell phone and smart watch users while operating. 0 tolerance for that.

A lot you us talked about the money T/Os make, there's a reason for that. Take the job seriously and you need to put in work in the beginning. It will pay off when get off probation in a year. Car school is more like booth camp than anything else.

As a man with a wife and toddler that's the part that I'm not looking forward to. Still, my wife understands sacrifices have to be made by me on their behalf. When my daughter graduates from her private schools and goes off to a good college that I will be able to pay for, she will thank me.
