Tell me about it, I was personally crying for at least two days.

The only thing the MTA will mail you are your two paychecks and your W2. As far as a letter detailing your resignation, you get that from Zerega when you surrendered your pass. They do not contact you after 5 years for another opportunity. You have to apply for another exam and do the entire process over again.

Welcome to life my friend...

 

Bro Im still up in tears, and it’s been 2 weeks since I failed. Well thanks again man for taking the time to respond. Kudos!

It applies to those who have or have not applied for other examinations, regardless if it's for NYC Transit, MaBSTOA or MTA Bus Company, since it's all under the MTA.

That's what I did last summer when I got a notice in the mail informing me to report to Livingston Street last summer for a part-time position with MTA Bus Company. I asked the lady at the counter about the 5-year rule and, after confirming with her supervisor, she told me that such a rule does exist and, if I did take the drug test and physical and go for final processing, the first day I would have reported to Zerega was when they would stop me. Therefore, right there and then, I declined the offer and left, since I knew it would be a waste of time.

Therefore it's up to you. If you do go, I would definitely ask the representatives at Livingston Street about this, since the drug tests, physical, final processing, etc. would be a waste of time and money...

Thank you for your feedback. I had the hopes for a second chance. Especially considering that I paid for the B/O # 4105 application process and passed the Boss test. Failing the 10 day training earlier this month  was devasting.

Does the Mta mail you letter detailing your resignation? Also do they contact you after 5 years for possible work opportunities or do you have to apply for another exam and do the whole process again?

Thank you,

Thank you my number is in the 4500 to 4600. Do you know if they call you in order or randomly?

To my knowledge they suppose to call you in order. It’s kind of strange though because when I called last week, I called twice and spoke to 2 different people. One said 3400 and the other said they were up to 3600

I don't know what the rule is about that but if they say you are still in the running when you have your letter go down see what they say. 

Thanks for replying! Perhaps you shouldn’t decline the appointment just yet since they already  sent you a letter to report for the  pre-employment process for January 25th. Maybe you still have a shot tho.

So I got my letter in the mail today, with a list number of 41**, which is in between 4100 & 4200, with a report date of Thursday, January 25th to report to 180 Livingston Street. However, since I failed the B/O training session 4 years ago (February 2014), I have to wait 5 years (February 2019) to try again. Therefore, I'm going to decline the appointment, respectfully.

Good luck everyone!!

I also failed  the training recently but when I called they said that I was still in the running for B/O 4105. Do you think that 5 year rule only pertains to those that didn’t apply for other past exams? 

I’m currently working full time. I just wanted to obtain my license before I get called up for the pre-employment process. Thank you both for info.

Much appreciated👍🏼

Hey everyone,

Can somone please refer me to a reputable cdl training location within the 5 boroughs?

Thank you guys😊

if you don't show up your name will be removed and you'll have to restore it back. You have 3 chances until the list expires.[/

 

Ok cool. Last question, I promise. Do I have to check the decline box and sign on the pre employment letter and send it to Livingston?

Yes it was street drugs. It was my birthday last week and I was watching Scarface with my friiends and I did something that I shouldn't have. Yes I'm an idiot I know. So the way to postpone is to simply not show up? Or is it better to call them? Andonce I restore my number do I get a random number again? Thank you guys for patiently answering my questions, as I'm freaking out.

Hey everybody! This is my first time posting here. I received my pre employment letter last week to attend for appointment for this week. I'm worried that there's a slight chance that I might fail the drug screening. Should I be honest and just tell them if they ask me or should I just take my chances and just go for it? Also, if I fail Do I get a 2nd chance?
