How often did you do it until 11pm?

I can say school car was 3-11pm. Occasionally started at 5pm which was like 3-4 days out of the whole thing.

School car isn't that bad honestly, obviously depends on how you learn but personally for me it was super easy.

No problem, and yeah pre-employment/ drug test same day and medical is a separate day. And thanks man appreciate it.

Yea I figured that I was very curious on how they looked at people who showed up in casual street wear. Was the drug test at the same time or separate?

Pre-employment and drug test same day.

Hello  everyone I have Been learning a lot of info from everyone on here with the whole conductor process. I did my OPA late January and now I have pre employment April 28. When I went to OPA I was dressed up and everyone was in casual street wear. For the pre employment. I can wear casual clothes and not have to be dressed up? It seems as if. That doesn’t matter from my first visit.

I've been to two pre employments so far 🥲 but I'm pretty sure I'm in the next class whenever that is. But yeah just dress up nice. I did slacks and a white T shirt last time I went.

I had my pre-employment and drug test yesterday. Got there around 7:45am for 8am appointment. Everything went smoothly just a long wait. I noticed around  11am/12pm people started coming in large numbers. All for different title’s. I got called back to the counter around 12:30 and my application was processed without any problems. I got to the lab around 2:15 then went home at 2:30. Of course they said it will be 3-90 days for a response, hopefully it won’t take that long. It seems like they are trying to expedite people quickly. 
I did hear some people saying they were there for second drug test and re-submitiing application forms. But overall it wasn’t bad. Kudos to the staff that was running things smoothly and trying to accommodate everyone. 

Depends on class to, since Monday is start of new class and class is about 2 months. So might be waiting a bit like myself. Unless they can have multiple classes but I doubt it.

Went in for my 2nd pre-employment today. Went by much faster then the first since they called 7 of us that already did the process before, was only there for 2 hours. Will keep updating you guys on the process as I get emails. 

Same I was there for 8am appointment but I came way earlier I left like 9:30 I think and this also my second time doing it

If you're overweight and/or have a large neck (17 or larger I believe).

Ahhh okay thanks, going for second pre-employment Friday so 🙌 hopefully I get to my medical stage quickly after this one.

You are not disqualified. You will be placed on medical hold if they suspect you may have sleep apnea. They will ask you to do a sleep study and you will either have sleep apnea or not. If you have it they will want you to get a machine and be on that machine for 30 days and have a doctor give you a letter stating that you are using the machine and that it is benefiting you and your condition.

I am currently on medical hold for sleep apnea. It has been a long long road. Currently waiting to be reinstated to the list so I can clear the hold. 

It will just take some patience on your part and hope you get things done quicker than I have.

How do they suspect you have sleep apnea ? If you don't mind me asking .

The pre-employment is only valid for 90 days. Unfortunately because they waited so long to get to me, I need to go in again and do the exact same process I did in November. This is very common to do the same process 1-3 times.

Hopefully this my final time I went in November as well. I go again Friday

then third rail jumping Monday and posting 

So new school car classes should be starting soon if not already 

I'm still waiting to go back and redo pre employment, so hope this time around. But is it confirmed there's a class after yours?

I thought the drug test is done the same day as your pre employment when you bring the paperwork they gave us at the OPA? Am I correct or mistaken?

When I went I just gave in paperwork and I peed in a cup but I didn't do full medical. They said they will call me within 3 months to do it been past three months.
