Points dont matter because you dont need a driver license to qualify for track worker

And medical is just regular

Nothing but  regular stuff

Man u said a lot  and u made some good points

And u right I didnt think they would get as far as they got it was a lot of us that got a 100 on the test and even more that got 97.5 

But i hope it keeps going 

Thx 4 the update 

Hope it's not true

But if u go back in this thread u will c that statement from a level 2 

Over and over again

I was n the nov 2017 class and the school teacher then said our class could b the last 

We just had a pick and after everybody picked 

There were still a lot of open spots

I mean a lot there not enough track man to fill all them open spots

Man yall stop picking on Utica 

I was there 8 months

I was fine

I don't know y everybody says Utica is bad

All they ask for is u to work

If u don't want to work well then u will have a problem

At urica

I heard the same thing 

A guy I know say he heard the same thing

That they were gonna start a class n August

Hope so and good luck to everybody that's waiting

Well the pick will b over in a few days 

So I hope they start hiring again soon

I'm satisfied with my pick 

Didn't get the exact pick that I wanted

But i got my second choice so it's been a pretty good week 

Good luck guys I'll c u on the tracks

Yeah u right about the fines 

I was talking about his past offenses

Unpaid fines and tickets r current offenses. 

They have to be paid

When I went to processing I had two speeding tickets that I was going to court for they made me pay them. And I had already gave a lawyer $900 to defend me they didn't want to hear that

Lucky for me I left processing to pay them on Monday came back on Tuesday and got processed ( THEY WANT RECEIPTS NOT ONLINE PAYMENT RECEIPTS THE RECEIPTS THEY GIVE YOU WHEN YOU PAY IN PERSON) lucky for me I didn't get held up 30 days later I went to medical and got hired

Good luck 

Man two accidents and a red light conviction

Bro it's guys at my quarters with 8 and nine felonies on there record and they got hired

u just have to tell them the truth about ur stuff and they will hire u 

One guy just got out of prison in Feb 2017  and he got hired this past  November  

And points don't matter if u not driving

The new seniority book came out today. So it looks like the pick really is actually coming next month (which im thrilled about because im trying to go nights in queens somewhere) but I also think that means that the may 21st class is gonna be the last one and that they are gonna stop hiring (at the very least, for a while). Take that with a grain of salt because I'm new so I may not know what I'm talking about but thats what the senior guys seem to think. I hope thats not the case for you guys and that you guys get in so I can have some people under me in seniority haha. good luck yall

Yeah looking at the list my number went down about three hundred so alot of guys have been promoted

The guys that came to our quarters two weeks ago are not even on the list so I think they have at lease two classes aren't even on that list

And someone posted yesterday that the pic was out

Did u mean the pic was out or that the new senroity list was out because all I saw was the sinority list

I think the big pick is still in late June from what I've heard 

that early June pick is a supervisors pick

Newest update. Hiring freeze for track after the May 21st class. Also the general pick may be “early” June. From the sounds of it the 3600 exam will expire December 2018 and they will not hire again for “awhile.”

no worries buddy u will find parking at the school if u get there earlier enough u will n front of the school but if not there will be other parking that's free 

U r appointed now to transit 

Everyday u r gonna get paid regular pay for at lease 8 hours everyday of school orentation training or whatever u do that day is gonna consist of 8 hours pay if u have to stay longer u will be paid overtime but planning on everyday being at lease 8 hours. There r no short days

Not sure about the last class but the March 12th had 3 over nights there for maintenance and 1 for cleaning. Everyone they met has told them to bid out of Utica lol

I been at Utica for 4 months now it's cool

I mean if anybody coming to track and don't want to work  it won't matter where they go.   

Look man anit nothing wrong at utica lol

The class thats coming out.  We're there any maintenance spots at Utica ave on the mini pick

When ever u have free time just read a few pages of this thread a few pages at a time by the time u have read the entire tread most of all ur question about track

It helped me

Buddy ur first day at orentation

U will get a print out with ur starting pay and ur toppay after 5 years

Buddy there isnt no specific time between drug test and final processing

But when u get called u should go down there 

If u r out of town 

U should come 4 the appointment

If its not an emergency

Because they are doing alot of hiring right now but it can't last 4ever 

Good luck buddy

Happy hoildays 2 those who participate

Maybe i am i cant remember 

But next week wen u get n the field u will be able to c an old pick book

Then u will c how it goes 

But to some up the whole situation

Like @G13 said us new guys this early in our carreers will be going to  cleaning gangs  

No matter where we r now or go on our mini pick

At pick time we will b on cleaning gangs

Because thats all gonna b left 4 us to pick 

But we got alot of years to go so right now 

im not even thinking about where i work or what im doing 

im gonna just concentrate on learning and practicing how to stay safe because

Im finding out first hand that there r alot of ways to get hurt down there

Be safe 

Wishing everybody in ur class good luck
