I hope so too...I sent in the app a couple of days ago. I'm trying to talk Peter Pan into giving me a LOA so I can do the training if I get in at NJT

I just saw a pic that they had a Nova on the 553 today......you must be bullshit! lol

I was down in A.C. yesterday. Those 507/508s are crazy packed.

I'll shoot in one day....I usually get back around 5pm. I saw two shiny new 4505s sitting there yesterday.

If I've correctly guessed your employer then I hope you are ok! I just heard about the accident on the thruway....bad deal for everybody involved!

Is that the "Freeman" guy everybody says is a douche? I keep hearing that the Meadowlands is suppose to have only 70-80 PTs but they really have 100+, so the PTs are only getting 15-20hrs. Honestly I hope this LOA comes through.....I really want this to happen, the guys from Oradell seem like a good bunch...I think I would be happy there!

Just a ?.....how did the A/C unit catch on fire?

Just wondering if you had your "trail by fire" yet? They 495 helix, Lincoln Tunnel and upstairs at the Port can be a bit much for newer drivers.

NJT wanted to hire me but Peter Pan won't give me a LOA, supposedly because we are short drivers. The guy at NJT that interviewed me said they would keep my application for six months and if I was able to get the time off to call him. He said he couldn't guarantee me a Oradell spot later in the year but he would try. Do you know if they will be needing more guys toward the end of the year?

No prob!

Oh ok, I'll remember that if I ever get to bid back onto a NY run!

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I ran away from Rockland. I had a 5 minute interview and they where ready to hire me....I didn't even fill out the application yet! Any place hires like that tends to be bad news, so I guess I'll stay at Peter Pan until either I get called for 2301 or NJT .

Sorry to bother you, but do you know if the guys who are in training with you that are going to Shortline, have their CDLs? 4-6 weeks sounds like a lot of "training" if you already have it. Hopefully everything is going well for you!

Thanks for the info. Do you know how long it's been taking folks to get F/T?....Oradell is one of my top choices to go too, I've heard that's a good garage to work out of!

Were you driving 8914 on Thursday? Saw a younger dude fighting his way into the Port...he had that " I'm new" look alot of us have when we are rookies.ok.

What kind of equipment are you guys using for training?

You guys short MCIs? I'm kinda shocked since it seems like NJT is snatching more and more MCIs from Academy.
