i sent the app in this week....so I'm hoping I hear something soon. the hard part is gonna be getting PP to let me take a leave of absence in the summer. Talking w/Master Khem I've pretty much decided that if I get in that I will try for Oradell and if not then Wayne or Howell. I was talking to a Howell guy and he said it would be less than a year to full time there but the people on the 139 like to complain and that torpedoes some of P/Ts. I'll let you know when I hear back from them

Thanks Jason

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

Just a quick couple questions about Oradell.

Do you guys mostly work splits or "straight-8s"?

Are the runs interlined with you running a couple different lines in one day or all day on one line?

How are they with the P/Ts...do they usually work them to the 30 hr limit or not so much.

Sorry for the questions, I'm just trying to get a couple things straight!

Again thanks for the info. I've kinda made up my mind that I'm gonna go for it....the worse the could say is no. More than likely I will try to get Oradell. In the meantime if you see a Peter Pan bus during the PM rush @ the Lincoln Tunnel with "RED SOX" signed up, that's me. I do that to aggravate the Port Authority cops!

Thanks for the info man!

The B/O I ride back to NY on the 129 said the same thing, to stay away from the Meadowlands. I'm would like to try for Oradell or Wayne....I've heard questionable things about Howell. I'm gonna send in my application and see what they say to me.

Thanks Again,

Jason

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!

Hey man!

I am putting in a application for NJT P/T B/O. I was just wondering how that whole deal works. I'm trying to get into the Meadowlands, Wayne,Howell or Oradell. Do the P/Ts have a set run or all they all over the place. Also any idea how long it takes until they move up to F/T....30 hours a week is kinda low,paywise. Any info you can pass along would be great!

Thanks again,

Jason-BZGuy

Thanks 553!

I'm gonna put in the app and see what they say. I'm kinda worried about the P/T part....30 hours a week seems kinda low to me, paywise. Plus after riding home on the 129 with the Meadowlands guys I don't know if I can do that whole cash fare/fare zone thing. But I'll see what they say.

Thanks again!

Hey 553,

I'm filling out my application for NJT. Do you know what the PT B/O rate is?

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

Hey Brian,

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be a NYC driver starting May 2nd. I bid NY-1 730am NY-Prov w/ a 100p turn back...so maybe I'll see you around Secaucus!

Jason

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

Hey, I saw that you work in Yonkers. You don't drive 3382 do you? Whoever does was my running partner down 5th av awhile ago when I had a NYC run. But then again all you Yonkers guys can move so I give my props to you!

Hey whats up, Joe

Did you end up going to JFK or are you waiting for TA to call back?
