Good day,

Has anyone heard anything or have been contacted. I know it's a waiting game but just wanted to see.

So I got my Admission Letter in the mail today for Exam 2612 on Tuesday, July 5th, 8:30 AM at 180 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn. However, it states the following:

"As stated in the Notice of Examination, you are required to pay a $20.00 Exam Processing fee in the form of a money order that you MUST bring to your test."

Does anyone else's Admission Letter state this? How come we did not have to pay a Processing fee for Exam 2611?

Thanks in advance for the replies, I appreciate it.

I’ve reviewed the NOE, no “processing fee” 😡

Just got an email/text that exam 2612 has been postponed. 

What was their reason?
Will there be a date in the future?

Anyone know when they’re gonna call again?
 

I cleared my medical hold on Jan 20 and was told I had to be added back to the list and wait to be canvassed again. 

Just from my personal experience. You must reach out to them for them to put you back on the list. I had the same situation occur and I had to follow up via email multiple times to get put back on the list 

I was hired off the exam 9309 which was held in 2019 for MTA bus company. I have not seen another test for Bus company after,which in my opinion calls for this hurry.

Do you know when the new class begins or when are the next classes scheduled for?

I have heard every two weeks for an average of 100+ till January for TA,OA and Bus company.

It says I can’t send direct messages so I’ll just ask here. For the most part I work the graveyard shift in my job but my schedule is sometimes open to change. Is MV flexible with the schedule?

I would want to work both jobs but do they allow it? I was thinking of working an afternoon shift (2pm -10 pm preferably) and then go to work the graveyard shift in my current job now. I spoke with someone before who worked there and they said guys work double shifts sometimes so that kinda tells they don’t care about DOT rules all that much.

MVP will not allow you to work anything other than their job as per DOT standards. If you ask the wrong managerial person they will tell you just do not tell the "upper" management. My suggestion do the para transit,ask to work 4 ten hour days and sign up for OT on two of your off days which will give you a minimum of 16hrs of OT. Mvp is dying for operators and will accommodate you regardless of seniority,at least from my experience. Lots of luck.

That’s good to know. Hopefully all my OT don’t dry up. 

You know there's ALWAYS OT. I over heard some "senior" guys the other day saying"all these damn probies gonna get all my OT"

You know it. We are extremely short. I’ve been doing a second half almost every day and working RDO. 

We had 3 new operators come in the other day and from what I've heard from a supt we're getting another 12 in two weeks.

Thank you for the heads up but that is a heck of a trek for me. I live in Staten Island.

I live in Staten Island as well and worked for Mvp on Richmond Rd for three years before I received the call from mta. Any questions let me know and I'll be more than happy to guide you

So guess what happened today?

As a result of my initial e-mail to the "Exams Unit" back on September 29th, which I thought they ignored, they sent me a reply with another link to another additional pre-screening (https://forms.gle/4CFewHGJTnPr5Qm19). In addition, in the e-mail and on the additional pre-screening form, it states that the examination will be given on October 24th on a first come-first serve basis. We'll see what happens.

Good luck everyone!!

Looks like they're rushing this exam as the need in MTA bus company is high, from my perspective.

Man! it’s taking forever to hear back from this exam. I was emailed back for pre employment after I think 2 weeks for Exam 9309 MTA Bus. This one is dragging and I’m here dying to leave my job. I hope we here something soon. I’m also waiting to hear from exam 9618 ( TA ).

Hey. Just a heads up yes they are hiring off of exam 9309 MTA bus company as I have completed the hiring process and heading into training at Eastchester. My suggestion would be to follow up and follow through with 180 Livingston by any means necessary. They have tons of people,from all divisions of the transit family,that they hire for. They're looking for a bunch of bus operators I believe follow up and follow through is necessary. If anyone on the forums has any information to help out our future operator that'll be great.

What you think what go be happen in my situation. Thanks 

Good afternoon,

I really don't think any of us know exactly what will occur. My suggestion would be to stay in contact with the person/emailer that sent you the email. Follow up and follow through is important not only to you,but your career with MTA. 

Best of luck.

Anybody training out of Flatbush depot? We have 2 training buses assigned for the entire week. This must be a big class.

I'm out of Gun hill depot for training. I have Rich cerezo as well as a training superintendent Kevin Waite. I was told that there are 81 trainees in my class.

Hello everyone, Today I got a phone call to go in this Friday for Medical and Final Processing. I hope everything goes well with Medical. Question....What do they check during Medical? Anyone know?

Vision

Hearing 

Blood pressure 

Additional drug test (rapid results)

Weight 

You also sit at a computer and answer questions about your health.

From my experience if you have any conditions I would personally go get a letter from your doctor verifying that your condition is controlled via whatever for of medication and your condition does not impede with your driving a CMV.

Is there a list of certified doctors or I can go anywhere I can get tested ??

I believe you need to look up pulmonary doctors. They are associated with sleep apnea and could diagnose you and run the test for both,yes you do have it or no you do not

Your best bet is to get a sleep study done so that way if they say you have to get it done you'll already have it done and the paperwork to hand them, instead of them telling you to go and then coming back to them with the results. Waiting for them to tell you can make you miss the next class which you dont wanna do. So just get it done whenever you have the chance but definitely before they call you for the medical, rather be safe than sorry. #fatneckgang2021

This is exactly what happened to me. Had to get every thing done and missed my June 6th class have to wait till August 15th class. Definitely get everything you need together before medical.

Went for final processing today. Picture for pass taken as well as finger prints. If anyone else is in this next August 15th class see you there!

Question what happened if you don't have a CDL  permit . Do you wait for the next session . I don't mind waiting.  Or they put down the back of the list ?  (My last post of today) feel free  to reply when you can . Waiting for an express bus  30 minutes 😭.

Yes unfortunately they did not even see the your lady today who did not even have her cdl b permit. I will tell you what I did in regards to not having a dmv appointment. I went to my local DMV and explained the severity of needing my cdl b permit for this amazing mta bus operator opportunity. They allowed me in to take the air breaks exam which I only needed and then I received my permit. My suggestion to anyone is go down to the DMV and push for it they'll let you take the exam mostly all of the time without appointment.

How did you know your list number? Did they email your results and list number before they sent pre-employment application?

Yes in a email a while before the pre employment step.

2 hours ago, AlexNY said:

So when you sent your pre-employment application you just left that field "list number" blank?

Oh no...I'm sorry I'm 51xx the xx is for privacy purposes.

Mind if I ask you... When you got your email with pre-employment application did that email indicate what your list number was? I'm from a different exam for a different position. My email didn't include my list number and I'm just wondering if it's something normal.

Thanks

The email I received did not include my list number either. Every exam has their own list numbers as well. 

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I was called Tuesday to have my pre employment drug test done again today as the first one was exhausted (30 day window). I passed my medical on June 23rd but at that time no positions were available until this week. Hopefully no medical as it is good for 90 days. Anyone with any idea about that?
