Hi how is the training going so far?

Good . I got qualified today ,Today was day 7 , so I'm so happy about that because I wasn't trying to go to day 10.  Now I have to worry about the DMV road test but I already started studying for that. I just have to re-study to remember everything again but so far really good . My bus had two supt. Because one was in training ;Training Us, it was rough lol but I made it through. How's everything going with you? Did you go back yet ?

Gona be in the Sunday class ! List nunber 119x. Who else gona be starting training this Sunday ?are they particular about how you dress for the training ? Just worried about the parking at Zerega 😬

I'm starting this Sunday 12/5,Very excited for this new journey. I would just follow the dress code on the paper they gave you at the end of final processing. I heard parking is horrible over there but since we starting on a Sunday I believe you'll be okay  Sunday only . I wouldn't drive during the week though, I'm taking the train on Sunday just to play safe .

Union square - downtown. 34th street & lex. Down to 25th, make the left turn. Ride it down to e 6th street, do the loop right turn going back uptown, go up to 9th street, make the right and 2 lefts and right turn and go up to 34th and make a right to go back across 34th to lex. I believe that’s the day 7 route 

 

Today was day 7 and my whole class of 4 passed. Going to Jamaica tomorrow 

Congrats! ; you got me excited to start on Sunday . I hope everything goes well like a piece of cake .

Today was day 5. Highway driving and we were in upper Manhattan, 

 

First day where I had a perfect sheet 

whole class of 4 is doing well so far, instructor is a great one. 
 

At this point, I probably already read the bus book about 3-4 times completely, it’s helpful for sure , I seem to catch new things each time I read it. 
 

@young YouTube channel has been a great help as well 

What depot do they have you at for training ?

Hello Happy Holydays!! Does anybody know how long I have to wait to be able to sign up to mymtaportal after being hired? I was able to sign in with the safgard sites today (really nice boots on there btw). 

So I'm trying to upload my vacation card through MTA COVID-19 Portal, it 's saying my BSCID or Date of birth entered is not correct but it is correct . I tried so many times and it's getting annoying. Does anyone know if I can just bring my vacation card to the training and tell them I wasn't able to enter it through MTA COVID - 19 Portal because of the inconvenience I'm having ? I don't wanna be sent home because I didn't get a confirmation email after submitting information.

I recently started training at one of the depots . Training has been going pretty well . For those of you who are waiting to hear back regarding the drug test , they say up to 90 days but they most likely will reach out way sooner. They contacted me within 2 weeks after I was drug tested. My instructor today said they’re hiring many people so continue to check your emails. As far as those who have cdl permits only , after the 7 day training they prepare you for the cdl road test. I am kinda concerned about that part because they mention you only get two tries. If you fail both times then you’re disqualified. Did anyone complete the 2 week training for the cdl road test and received the license ? If so please give any feedback or pointers ! Thanks!

How did you do ?

Congratulations.  You’re in.  I took my 1st shot today.  2nd one will be 12/10.

I’m on a roller coaster at 180 Livingston.  Went in today for Final processing, only to be told because I’m not fully vaccinated I will not be able to do so until 14 days after 2nd vaccination.  So they want you to still wait 14 days after 2nd shot, according to them that’s what fully vaccinated is for their policy.  So guys take notes.  I cannot even be in the 12/05 class.  Just have to wait.

Damn ..... ugh I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah they were staying that yesterday when I went . I got vaccinated in August and took the second one in September. I was looking forward to meeting you at training , Keep me posted on what's next .

For me this is like the back door to this position.....for ta you need to take an exam and pass and be put on a list, than take the boss exam......for this you send in the money.....get a list number and wait to be called...than take the boss exam and wait to be called for processing....this worked for me...I wish they would had told me the difference from mta bus and oa....but I am on one for 7 years now and the union is pushing for equal pension as oa......so 13 more and out....best of luck to all who apply!

What's the training at Zerega like ?

Yes you do.  Everyone have to.  But for those with class B license we have to do the alsap and driving.  For the permit holders they have to do everything for DMV road test

Okay cool .

I’m sure they checked your license.  Or maybe in class at Zerega. 

Yeah they made a photo copy of it . I'm good .

Believe you need higher than a C bro, you'd need a B at least with P endorsement and no n2 restriction. 

 

 

I actually have the cdl class A license with passenger and school bus endorsement. Is that good ?

Will let u know when I ready to share that info.  Not sure if I want to put that up here

Lmao I feel you . Wait so if we have our CDL class C and A permit -we don't have to do the pre- trip inspection for the Bus for the Class B license with DMV .

Ok great.  Yes I live in East NY.  That’s means you getting into 12/05 class too.  And is this for 1100?

Yeah it's for 1100. I need a study buddy for pre- inspection. What's your digits or social media where we can exchange number.

Had to take another urin test/drug test.  Because I took the first one 10/29 and the next class is 12/05.  They say the 1st one is no good after 30 days.

Don’t, I was in Livingston in the beginning of this month for an exam I took in 2017 and there was a guy getting sworn in from this exam for the 11/07 class, when I asked him how long ago he took the exam he said October 9th, 2021.

Did you start training yet and if so how is it going ? What date you got for the next class if you didn't start yet ?
