Thank you. I was just there and a guy was telling me the same thing about the book being open & easy to get days off. Nice guy. He was talking to me for a good 15-20 mins. I'll be there tomorrow again at 8:30.

Today we drove the 3 buses. RTS,Nova, & New Flyer. We were with Oliver, Bush & Siegel. I chose Jamaica as my Depot, but I haven't found out which depot I will be at just as of yet. I'm going back to Jamaica tomorrow for 8:30. How long have you been at Jamaica?

So for those of you who have been following me on this site, you have recently learned that I recently got a 1-in-3 letter for the Track Worker position. With that said, I am looking forward to reinstating my name to this list at the very end of this calendar year in an effort to try again in March of 2019, which would be 5 years from when I failed and I was forced to resign on February 24, 2014 as a result of taking B/O Exam 2613.

Within the 4 years I took two CDL road tests, one in a Tractor Trailer and one in a Bus. As a result, I have a Class A CDL with all of the endorsements (Metal Coil, Passenger, School Bus, Doubles/Triples, Tow Truck, Tank & Hazmat). Since I successfully took a road test in a big bus, I have an "M" restriction, which means that I can not drive a Class A Passenger Vehicle, which doesn't exist in this country since the minimum requirement to drive any bus (school bus, coach bus, etc.) is a Class B with a Passenger endorsement.

(Click here for the full list of endorsements and restrictions in New York and New Jersey.)

My question is: For those of you who have been through this before, will I be able to proceed with the training with the Class A CDL, or will I be forced to downgrade to the Class B? I know 180 Livingston Street doesn't have a problem, since I showed up for an offer from MTA Bus Company, as a result of taking the BOSS, which I declined due to this 5-year rule to begin with. However, will the folks at Zerega Avenue give me a hard time about this?

Thanks in advance for your replies...

I have a Class A as well with the M restriction. No one has told me that I need to downgrade anything. So you will be fine.

Sorry to hear about that. Like I was told numerous times. TAKE YOUR TIME. My instructor Ms. Shook was so nice, pleasant & she wants you to pass. She just told me today that she's doing day 8 & 9. So you may see her.

The training was a breeze. Today was my 7th day & I qualified. So now I go to Jamaica Depot the next 3 days.

Just got the call this morning to go back to Livingston for medical and final processing also was told to bring 86 dollar money order 

May I ask what depot you're training out of? I started on the 30th & I'm in QV.

Oh wow really!!? Which date was you put in this class I just called last week I was told otherwise......can you send me the number of the person you spoke too please,,,,, I’m really having a hard time being put in the next available class I got Ms chestnut number but she told me there was no April 30th class 

I was suppose to be in the April 16th class. I went for drugs test on March 19th. They called me March 23rd to come in on March 30th for physical. I went for physical, but forgot one paper so I couldn't go on. The lady at the front desk gave me Ms. Chestnut number as well. So when I got the paper i called her back & she told me to come in the next day which was April 12th. Ms. Chestnut emailed me (no phone call) stating that I come in on April 19th for final processing. I went in finished everything & was put into the April 30th class. Ms. Chestnut was the only person I contacted. I was told she's the one who is in control of the new hires. 

@Mr Marta I wonder why they said there's no April 30th class. I'm in that class because I missed the April 16th class.

I wanted to thank you for answering my questions. I got my dispositions and went back to Livingston on Thursday 4/12 & everything is good. I just had to take the drug test again. When I go back i won't have to do the physical again just fingerprint & whatever else is left. I missed the class coming up on the 16th, but I'll be in the one on the 30th. I'm going to be with TA. I don't know anything about any of this yet so I'm just reading what everyone else is saying. I don't know the difference as of yet. 

Thank you again.
