I tested positive, had to do 30 days to provide the report, after the 30 days the sleep doctor writes the clearance letter and you take it to 149 to get cleared from the medical hold, FYI after the 30 days continue to use the machine, the doctors at 149 might need to see that your still using it -

Let me ask you, is the practical mistake free? Meaning if you ace the important parts(door cutouts, terminal departures, improper zones) and miss some steps like announcements, will they fail you? -

No matter what the outcome is, STAY POSITIVE! You will be IN! Believe me! I worried the entire time because of this sleep apnea situation, now I’m in school car, studying way ahead of the practical and exams, learning and retaining the info! YOU GOT THIS! -

I was down there physically at 180 on February 2nd and was told the list has been extended for a whole year, one of the workers who appoints people to the position of C/R told me that, that information came from the “queen mother of conductors” whoever that lady is lol -

Got you, I was planning on taking the train instead of driving anyway, but I will be taking extensive notes and focusing and because of my height(6’3) I heard it will be way easier to climb the train lol -

Got hired today for the march 4th class! My advice to anyone wondering “why no email?” Or “why so long” GO DOWN THERE!!! They are literally sitting on paperwork!!! FYI they are moving from 180 so they are packing boxes of paperwork, so you know it’s going to be a lot “missing paperwork” DONT BE NERVOUS! GO DOWN! I went on 2-2-24 to inquire about a drug test I took on 1-5-24 and they sent the email the same day on 2-2-24 telling me to come down today for the medical and got cleared! Good luck too all and thank you to this thread and great advice throughout these months! God bless you all! -

Your friend should go to 180 Livingston and inquire, it’s good that the list has been extended for a year but those folks at 180 like to “sit on paperwork” -

Exam 6601 Conductor 6601 Hiring Process
MikeBonds replied to whatisacup's topic in Transit Employment
Really hard to say when it comes to transit, for example I took my first drug test on 9-18-23 and was called for medical on 9-22-23 for the class starting 9-25-23, this time around I took my drug test over on 1-5-24 with no response back to take the medical, but honestly if you done hear from them this week to come in then it’s a wrap for that upcoming class smh -
