ShortLine has been great for me. The money is here for the taking if you want it. However there are a couple things that may deter you, we are moving to Chester,NY sometime in the spring. They are building a huge facility able to park 100+ buses inside! As we know right now, Mahwah will close but that may change. Plus you have some time invested at NJT, dude I would stay and get your pension (only 401k here at ShortLine), plus our benefits pale in compared to NJTs. I would see if you could get a transfer somewhere....I'm thinking about going to one of those tests that NJT is giving out to see if they will take me. If I could get Wayne,Oradell or Washington Twp I would really have to think about jumping.
And BTW, I thought it was just me that thought that the new drivers are dumb! I didn't want be like ViaG8 but I ride the 161 to/from work and the new people are horrible. Always late, never have change and they all drive like they are afraid of the bus! And that's BS that they are trying to hold you responsible for the trainee coming up short.....that's why I handle the cash when I have a newbie, I'm not hearing shit about being short.
