I asked and one says 2 a month and another says 1 a month, no real date confirmed yet.

Hi

today is the deadline to submit the pre employment, I would like to know what time today is the deadline?

Hi everyone

I am going into day 5 and am having trouble with turns and acute turns.

I am not hitting the curb but my instructor says I am turning the wheel to slow so I end up usually turning too wide.

I was looking at the handouts posted by +Young+  and for acute turns my instructor says to use front bumper line up to the right side of the curb for a left acute turn.

What is the reference point for obtuse right turns, it is not to clear on the handout?

If I turn the wheel to slow how can I adjust for not turning so wide?

Thanks guys

You just started today, meaning you are at Zerega for Day Zero? Ouch!

The reason why I say "Ouch" is because in February of 2014 I failed the 10-Day Bus Operator Training Session, and when the agency reached my list number for the Track Worker Position as a result of taking Exam #3600, I received a "1-in-3" letter, which you can see below. Just note that I removed my name, address, former list number and my social security number, all in an effort to protect my identity.

Therefore, if I was you, I would do your absolute best to try to pass the 10-Day Training Session, and then cross your fingers as far as switching from one title to another while you are on probation. They may or may not allow it, I am not 100% sure. However, if you fail the 10-Day Bus Operator Training Session, just like with me, you will have to wait five [5] years before you can attempt to get re-hired by the agency for the TA Bus Operator Position.

Good luck!

so for five years 5 you can't be appointed to any other titles that you took and exam on?

That's very unfair if that's the case, the 1 and 3 should be done with

Hi, can anyone tell me if Fare Evasion
(I used a school MetroCard on a non school day) is considered a criminal conviction or create a criminal record?

I completely forgot that I did this once like 15 years or so and the police officer took my information down and gave me a ticket/summons, I went to see the judge and got no leinincy so I was guilty and payed the fine. I did NOT get arrested or booked for prints.

I add this on the 19a Article dmv form I had to fill in today, they told me I had to add it in if I saw a judge.

Since I completely forgot about this I didn't include it on the pre employment papers and the CPD booklet papers, is there a way I can update those documents with HR at 180 Livingston?

Thank you guys

Ok I see what you mean, I am going to do my best to pass.

Hi everyone

I started the new bus operator 10 day training today, I also received the email to respond for track worker 8600 by March 5.

I was just wondering what should I do if I want to do track work instead of bus operator?

Thanks

For those still waiting like myself, not only is there a class starting Feb 14th, but there is one scheduled to start on the 28th of Feb as well. Arrived at 180 Livingston around 5:40am this morning for a 6:30am appointment for medical. After waiting for about 20 minutes were told that we were being bumped and rescheduled for another day, reason being the building was closed on Tuesday due to the snow storm. The people originally scheduled for Tuesday the 2nd were then rescheduled for today, since they are only allowed max 15 people for medical the people for Feb 2nd took precedence, those scheduled for today we were told to wait for an email to come back. Fortunately I received the email a few moments ago for a date next week. Good luck to all that still waiting...

Hi

Did they tell you that the class for Feb 28th is 100% ready and scheduled to start?

Which day is your medical?

thanks

Hey everyone
Non essential travel is prohibited starting 6am. I haven't gotten any notification about rescheduling so I will be going using mass transit.

Anyone else?

Hi everyone

Does anyone know if they reschedule appointments due to severe weather?

my medical is Monday morning and it looks like the snow storm starts Sunday evening

thanks

Good evening

I have to report for medical as well this Monday, I wonder if they will reschedule it because of the coming snow storm Sunday evening?

Who else is coming Monday

LOL I didn't even think about the retirement tiers til u just brought it up. Tier 6 is bad but what I heard they got in mind for tier 7 is frightening.

 

Yea man I'm very happy u have no idea. Might still be a little while but just knowing I'll be back is an awesome feeling.

thanks for sharing your experience as a TO, I hope you can get back in.

What have you heard about Tier 7 so far?

thanks

@hh1a I was there from 9:30 till 11ish 

yep I took about two hours as well. When you were done with your urine test what else did they say and did they give you a CPD-B booklet to take home and fill out?

All I have with me is the document that I took a drug urine test.

Hi everyone

I went in this morning for pre employment and drug test, I was wondering if anyone else came in today?

If anyone else also took a drug test today or recently did you get any papers to fill out like the CPD-B Booklet or anything else?

thanks guys

Did anyone get called for drug test?

Hi I submitted all my paper work about 3 weeks ago and have been waiting since, the next step is the drug test I believe.

I don't know if they have stopped making new training classes since Oct 25 ?

How about you?

You only have to report any pending moving violation tickets, such as the ones that get you points or your license suspended. Camera tickets are a gray area because those go to whoever owns the car and not the driver so they don't really go on your abstract. If they're not pending, then you're good. I didn't have to mention a ticket I got back in May 2017 because it was already taken care of by the time I got to pre-employment.

Hi

I am on hold because when I submitted my pre-employment about a month ago I couldn't continue until I got the cdl permit and resolved a pending ticket.

I had a pending moving violation (2 points) that I paid the fee for online a few days ago and now that ticket is closed. This violation happened on Feb 2019.

I have my cdl permit, do I still need to include this ticket on my pre-employment?

When they run my abstract will it show that my pending ticket was paid for and now it's not pending anymore?

I would like to submit proof that I paid my ticket but all I have is the amount I paid and a confirmation number, dmv never sent me an email as it said it would.

Thank You

Hi everyone

I was notified as well to send paperwork by next Thursday my list is 2*

was wondering if they are hiring from three different lists doesn't it mess up seniority?

I am in the process to get my permit so I can continue for exam 7612 since I was notified to respond by Sept 4, and now I am being called for this exam 9604.

what should I do if I am being called for both exams?

thank you guys

Your name will be taken off the list for a year. Within the year, you have to reinstate your name to get called back.

Hi, so your saying that if you don't reinstate your name within a year, your name will be removed permanently as well?
