Hopefully you're alright.....AC looks likes it's getting slammed!

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

I didn't know Surburban had any 10 speeds. I know Community and Suburban had thosr 26xxx series orignally and then I thought they transferred them all to Shortline. You learn something new everyday!
I have a love/hate relationship with the Js. I love the turning radius and baggage space but hate the mirrors and that wallowy ride. I do my best to stay away from them at Peter Pan. The 'Hools are nice, I drove them at DATTCO....they can be a handful in the wind (the Js are bad in the wind too!) but I liked those buses.
So now they are doing training in Elizabeth....before everybody was going to Paramus. But that yard in Elizabeth is huge so maybe that's the best place. In anycase the ShortLine guys don't stay long anyway.
If you ever see a Peter Pan D4505 with the sign saying "RED SOX" that's me!
See ya out there!

Don't worry we all are nervous in the bus lane. Having oncoming bus traffic moving at 45+mph makes for an interesting morning. Not to mention when traffic comes to a dead stop and you are moving at 30....I've scared myself a couple of times!
I have my official interview with ShortLine on the 19th. I did talk to one of the dispatchers for a couple minutes when I dropped off my application and he said training should be easy since I've been driving so long. He thinks I'll only be in Paramus for a week or two before coming to Mahwah to do line training. Plus I decided to be nosy last week and rode up to Monticello and back. Those D4500s with the 10 speed semi-automatic transmission are great!
How Suburban work? The only reason why I wouldn't go there is that I don't really want to do charters. If I could just do the commuters then I wouldn't mind that at all.

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

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

I figured as much. I did hear something about that but I thought it was state employees not NJT. Guess I gotta look for a cheap place in Jersey!
