How you doing @+Young+ no need for apologies. Life is 1st and foremost. Hope all is well. My list number was 9** and I started on 9/12/21 @AJD That should at least give you a general idea of where they're upto.

I wouldn't know the answer to that but maybe @+Young+could help you out with that.

Yes bring the application again and email it as well. 17.25 they will ask you to do a sleep study and to bring in the results. I paid 700 out of pocket to get it done ASAP. Maybe you're lucky if you have insurance. I would do the sleep study before hand so at least there's no medical hold on your application. Good luck

I believe the money order was 88.25 and make sure to bring the application that they attached in that email. I know the email says to email it to them but trust me, do both. Good luck

I think this was the number I called (347)643-7413 Good Luck.

The number that they highlighted or email on the paper you had to bring with you when you got your Permit. I'll see if I can find it or maybe @+Young+can help with that.

As for someone that just completed the Eastchester training@+Young+ pretty much covered it. All the videos in that thread were extremely helpful and I added a few videos of my own with updated info and a color coded cheat sheet to help locate every undercarriage part. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here or on the YouTube Videos I did. There are a total of 5 short videos to help out. www.youtube.com/borigotskillz

I would call continuously. That's the only way I got through. I would call and then hang up and try again nonstop. A lot of them are working from home. Eventually you'll get through. I did.

This is 100% Factual info. The only way its not your fault is to keep that bus STOPPED.

I don't think you would have a problem. A dude in my class had 2 accidents in the last year and he's doing line training. Whats crazy to me is that the vehicle you hit was double parked ILLEGALY but its still your fault? That vehicle should've not been there but I know how paratransit works. I used to work for MV before joining transit.

All done with the roadtest👍 on to Line Training🙌

I have a cdl class b but when I went to the dmv for the passenger endorsement, I was given a learners permit so I can take the road test on the bus. So when I pass the road test, I'll get my class B back with the endorsement added to it.

Thx👍

Thx. I'll go early just to be on the safe side👍

Thx👍

Day 7 all done👍 Qualified early. Now I have to go to Eastchester. Anyone know hows the parking out there? Thx in advance

So today was day 5 in uptown Manhattan and went as smooth as I would've ever imagined. Tomorrow and Wednesday are the real deal🙏

No problem

NYCT

Nah but I think I know who you're talking about. I think he's in Eastchester. He's I believe he's the one in one of those videos on the these forums preping people on how to park the bus

@lornaevo yes you are 100% correct. Learn from my mistakes is the key. Hand over hand is killing me. I need to get that push n pull technique down and 4" of spacing on the right side. The yelling doesn't get to me cause I get the supt laughing at my sly remarks( supt was like look at him all nervous and scared,, I'm intimidating him) I was like come on now, all that screaming and hollering is only giving me a headache and quite honestly, it isn't good for your blood pressure. All the supt could do is laugh. They even told me that its incredible how I handled the pressure while others in my class has told the supt to please stop yelling cause they are nervous.

Good morning. Yes you are correct. Yesterday was day 4 and I drove on the highway to white plains to do straight line backing, parallel parking and pillars and everything else we learned on days 1-3. Today I had a sit down with the supt and they asked me what do I think of my performance so far and I simply said that I need to get out of my old habits (hand over hand) and work on my 4' spacing on the right-side. Then I told them I also need to work on example.... making a left turn, approach the reference point (setup the turn) when its clear to turn, look right and then start the turn. As I'm turning, take a quick glance at the front, then glance at my left mirror to check my left pivot has cleared then look at my right mirror and follow through and straighten my wheel. The supt said it was nice to know that I'm paying attention and reading the book (Bus Bible) and said I have the alsaps and pretrip nailed down but to come back on day 5 and work on what I told them. They said I know you can drive the bus, but we need you to do it the way transit wants you to do it. Moral of the story... Listen and watch what everyone is doing wrong behind the wheel and take notes. I try to help others in my class as much as I can, example alsaps and pretrip etc. Explaing the different turns and so on. Now I'll just have to execute these wrong doings of mine to keep this drill sgt from yelling as much🤣

Thats 100 percent correct. The fact is we as students as we're phrased should be getting 100percent from the supt. Not 50 percent, especially when you only have 5 days to learn. Thank god for the book and videos out there on YT. Alsaps I'm familiar with, pretrip as well. Im actually helping all my classmates trying to get them to learn it. We all meet up at 5am and get there so they can practice it. As far as people failing, I already had one guy trying to quit cause of all the yelling but I told him hang tight and fix whatever the supt is writing down on your progress sheet.

Pillars and parking tomorrow. 4

I'm all for the yelling and hollering. The supt was like look at you all nervous and I replied, nothing to be nervous about and kept my cool. After I was done driving I told the supt all I actually got was a headache and we just laughed it all up.
