Greetings all. First off thank you all for your info and insight over the years. It’s much appreciated on my part.  Got appointed yesterday and obviously won’t have my boots in time. Can anyone recommend ones I can wear as a substitute until my real ones come in? Thanks 

Order them quickly mine literally came 2 days after I ordered them and you’ll need them after week 1. Week 1 is just a bunch of paperwork everyday.

FYI had first day of school car yesterday and was told polo shirts with a collar was fine to wear. I guess it depends on who your instructor is.

So if you do get to pick your division anyone know what order they do it in? do they do it by list number?

Hello everyone, I’m new here and I’ve been reading a few of the past threads. Just wondering if anyone knows what list number they’re up to. I did email the employment center and Ms. Vargas who replied a few weeks ago and stated they are up 1625. Mine is 25XX. Please let me know. Thanks

I’m 18** and I start Monday so it’s def not updated

You have a lot of opinions man, and you were lucky to get in.  you said that guy probably didn’t have to pick extra to make all that money and he actually WAS extra….so no offense but we’re a community here not here to push people out

U tagged beanz asking for his input then told him he has a lot of opinions? Everyone is going to get called im sure but if they’re right about your list number being so high maybe taking a break won’t be that bad.

Literally might have just ruined my day

Curious What’s your list number?

Yes but I think they are getting a lot of passes

Maybe covid really did hold up a bunch of classes so they’re making up for lost time. My first DT was in 2018 and I didn’t hear back from them until This August lol so who really knows. I think they bank on people getting held up in medical so they have people on standby. Do u know how many people are usually in each class?

I’m sorry did you say 28 as in TWENTY EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY SOMETHING

You kno they like to call hundreds of people for the DT 😩 I did mine twice before I finally got to medical 

Same changed to 3pm..I wonder if Everyday will be afternoon classes

Stupid question, so when you're sworn in, that's the final job offer right? I wanna make sure I resign from my current job at the right time.

I went for the drug test on 8/6 i still haven’t heard anything to come back for medical…does anyone know how long it will take for me to get a email back?

list number mid 19xx

I went for the drug test a couple days before u but the same week then did the medical the following Week and was sworn in. List number high 1800s. Maybe they filled up the 8/30 class early and are waiting to call people for the next class. If you’re dt was clean you’ll be ok they’ll call u soon. Maybe try emailing Vargas just to make sure u didn’t miss an email or something

Did the drug test yesterday. Took about five hours to show up and get out, and that's with me getting there before the lines got really long so I don't know how long the other guys were there for. Sat for over two hours just waiting for them to process my paperwork. The actual drug test took maybe 25 minutes. Looking at the sign in list, it seemed like there was a ton more bus operators that day than train operators. As far as dressing up for it, most seemed to be in slacks and button up shirts, but there was a good amount of people dressed like they just woke up for the day. lol

Took my drug test yesterday too..let me know if u get the medical Email and I’ll do the same

That's what I'm saying, there is a lot of conflicting messaging in here about certain things. I went to get a sleep test done because I knew I had a high BMI and a bigger than 17 inch neck size. Then I see a post that says that doctors aren't accepting that. It's frustrating because I paid money to get this test done and I only have very mild sleep apnea which means I don't need a CPAP machine. I got my results and everything in time for medical tomorrow. I need to know. Will that be accepted or no?

May I get the info on where you went? I currently don’t have insurance and i just want to get it over with..that’s if they accept it in advance.

If you are found to have apnea then u have to sleep with a CPAP machine for 30 days consecutively i believe it is and submit that report. You'll also be coming into the Mac to show your reports more often, but it won't stop u from being hired.

So they’ll still hire you that’s great to know.

This forum is so informative but it scares the crap out of me too lol anyone knows what happens if u don’t pass the sleep study? Do they give u another chance or are u just out? I’d hate for any of use to miss the opportunity we’ve been waiting years for over BMI 

So after the drug test date  they call you back for medical..then during medical they  make u take another drug test? Lol I hate peeing in cups

Medical today took 6 hours. Passed all exams including neck size. But I have to get a sleep study due to my BMI being too high. 

I’m sure I’m gonna have to get a sleep study..do they send u to one of their places or just advise u to get one?

When I went in for my first drug test a couple years ago I was there for about 6 hours..now with covid how long were u guys there doing the paperwork and initial drug test? My appt is for 4pm wondering if ima be in and out?

Going in for my second drug test..last one expired..anyone brought in a copy of their diploma? Just got the email to go in Tuesday and can’t find mine.
