Goose54  Thank you  for sharing your experience. I'm sorry you didn't make it but don't give up. Did they tell you when you can come back and  try again. 

Goose54 I'm sorry to hear you didn't pass. Could you tell us how you did  from day 1-10 what did you do wrong  if you don't  mind to share with us. Also did they tell you that you could come back after sometime.

Good to hear you maid it. Tell us how was your 7days. and anyone hear from Tim. Welcome to the family good luck with everything. and remember no overtime yet pass that year.

straker211,

It sounds like he wasn't ready for day 7. He went on for one more day of training. well he made it. and good luck to all. when making a turn keep about 4ft away from park cars. Before making a turn plan it in your head line up the hand rail or your bumper.watch your rear. don't give any gas when making a turn. If your making a left turn and their is 3 lanes take the 2nd left lane so you have more space to make a turn.

Nice to hear your doing well. keep up the work and don't be nervous. when day 7 is here. just think about driving the bus. if you need help with parking let me know. good luck and keep us updated with your training

No overtime get sleep keep your head up and NO speeding stay safe. after the year. then make extra. but right now just do what you have to do. MTA BUS is staring 20.38 hr. GOOD LUCK ALL TAKE CARE;)

good luck I see you pass eveything do you know where your going.

Whenever possible stop the bus 3 feet before the bus stop sign.parallel to the curb, 6 inches to 1 foot from the curb. When pulling into a stop to fast you might hit the curb or you might not line up the bus right and rub the curb which is the same thing when turning. try not to hit the curb on Day 7.

Noflexdont,

Good stuff. it's good to see people helping the new classes out. I just want to point out a few more things cover your break and always slow down when making a turn. when turning hold both hands on the wheel and push and pull.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE NEW CLASSES

Tim,

good luck and hope to see you on the other side

Well you just got your permit they like people like you that don't have bad driving habits with a big vehicle. also you will learn fast on how MTA wants you to drive that bus. just remember get alot of rest and take your time with turns and look in your mirrors all 3 of them. also when you pull away watch your rear and left side. And when you close the front door make sure it's close before you pull away. watch your trainer he might stick his hand out when you close the door and you might be looking in your left mirror then pull away with his hand in the door. so watch the door. also keep your hands on the wheel don't drive the bus like a car 2 hands one on the left side one on the right side. also when you go under a overpass make sure you call out 10.6 14ft or better. this means your bus is 10.6 and the over pass is 14ft or better. GOOD LUCK

Yes they do. they want see what you know and some people in your group might not have their CDL B.

Are you going for training and want to know what goes on from day 1-10 just ask. And good luck to all
