  1. It feels better having the support of the fellow members here. I'm looking to take the M15SBS sometime this week to get an idea of driving conditions in Manhattan traffic with a bus. I'm sure the el pillar training comes in handy. lol
  2. Thanks, Vlad D. Approximately when, during line training, will you be called back to Zerega for the road test? I understand line training is about 2-3 weeks, but I guess that depends on your depot. I was told that you're trained at least 1 day on each line; so for a depot such as Ulmer Park with 6 local lines, line training would be 6 days. Is this safe to assume?
  3. A quick question, and it might've been covered before but needs clarification for those without their CDL - the qualification day [7]: is the day of your road test with DMV, or is this a general test from MTA's instructors? I ask because I have a relative who qualified years ago, and had to wait til during her line training to go back to Zerega for her DMV road test. I have exactly 2 weeks til I start training (see 5025 thread for additional updates).
  4. Upcoming active filing dates - http://mta.info/nyct/hr/appexam.htm Traffic Checker (MaBSTOA); 2101; August 3 - 17, 2011
  5. It's too hot for 3 people in the back seat these days.
  6. I'm more of a chinese and jamaican food type person, though I've fell back a bit on it because it's generally "not too healthy". It's more of a once in every 3 months type meal now. There's nothing wrong with 'cheating' every now and then -- 3 month intervals is sufficient. However, McDonalds used to be my favorite destination with 2 cheeseburgers and 10-pc chicken mcnuggets as 'the main meal', but that was a while ago.
  7. Very mature of you, rr4567. :tup: [now, back on-topic]
  8. Random thought: hate it when someone quotes a huge post for no reason, just to respond with one sentence. Really, guy? *sarcasm*
  9. In accordance to transit bx has already posted- you officially 'have' the job when you past the Zerega classes in the Bronx.
  10. I have three friends who are bus operators who also forewarned about doing overtime on probation.
