Highest number I personally know was low 190s. Believe if you call DCAS they can tell you what was the last number called.

Low 190's called in to do the drug test?

It all depends on what transit needs at the time you guys come in im hearing theres going to be a couple of yard gangs which means it will be day time spots, also the reason for the hiring i was told was there wasn’t enough bodies overnight so anything can happen working for transit.... theres talks of a mass pick happening in june 

You heard they wanted an X amount or?

Ok that’s good to know, So realistically I won’t be making this first class than. My list number is 12x

If you got the email for medical then you'll be sworn in the same day. Medical and Final processing are the same day thing.

Whenever you guys go in for medical and swearing in, if someone could find out how big the class is I'm really curious. One of my friends with the list number in the early 100's seems to have made it in also so, I'm just wondering how many people they plan on putting in May 3rd.

If what was stated is true in the article they're short at least 357 bus operators... They need to do some serious hiring.

Well 180 Livingston is currently still a skeleton crew. Majority of HR is still working from home on most days and you have to factor in with covid restrictions, and hiring for other titles will only cause this issue to prolong for the foreseeable future. Hiring will go on but, much slower from what it seems.

They are in the process of hiring additional bus operators. There should be a new class going in around early May if what I heard was true.

Hey guys, so I just recieved the Employment Operations Canvass and I was instructed to fill it out and sumbit it back to the instructed email. While reading the instructions on the email I noticed that it asks to send a picture of your CDL with no restrictions. I noticed that I have a No manual trans CMV restriction. Will this hold me back? What should I do? Thank you.

You're good, all buses are automatic.

Thank you for clarifying! I got an email telling me about the prescreening next Monday; do you know how long it goes for? I usually work a closing shift that day at my current job and I’d like to know if I have to take the day off to do the screening. 

If you don't mind me asking what your list number range is in. And now due to limited capacity issues you should be in an out within 3 - 4 hours MAX. 

My boy with a list number in the early 100s got an email to come down to 180 on Friday to continue the hiring process and drug testing.

It's up to you at the end of the day but, I'd recommend finishing the 1 year as a Bus Operator that way you can go back to that title if you aren't a fan of Track. At the end of the day the decision is yours.

Should i be worried because I’ve been reading this forum and I’m noticing that some people are getting emailed back to make corrections on their paperwork and some unfortunately to inform them they will no longer be considered. I submitted my paperwork on time but have yet to receive anything back not even a confirmation that they received my documents. I just don’t want to get left out due to missing or incorrect documents. If any body has any info please inform me thank you.

Nah you're good. If you didn't get a response that means they got it and you're good.

Hey guys i just got a email stating they won’t continue the hiring process with me because of pending tickets? I have 2 upcoming court dates for traffic moving violations one red light and electrical device. Any suggestions? I’m kinda devastated 

You gotta take care of the tickets, are you able to plead and pay?

Hey everyone, thank you for the advice on turns.

Does anyone know if you pass qualification day but end up failing the DMV road test, does that mean you still have to wait 5 years?

Would the 1 and 3 rule still apply if you pass qualification day but fail the DMV road test?

Thanks

I've known operators that got a second or third chance to do the DMV road test but, yes if you fail a certain number of road tests then they'll terminate you. I don't know about them using the 1 in 3 rule on you for future careers. 

I got an email today from an Associate Staff Analyst saying she got my application and I needed to amend something for her in it. So they do have all of our stuff and it looks like they have someone reviewing it.

Ehh. I want to wait and see what the investigation brings forth before screaming corruption at it's finest. Transit loves throwing all of us under the bus real quick before gathering all the facts.

Also congrats to whoever gets called. I remember things took about a month to get hired. 
 

From what I remember they called me and told me to come in for a drug test with 2 days notice, so start getting clean now.
 

After the drug test was done I got an email about two weeks later telling me come back in with my papers. 
 

I started work 14 days after that appointment.

Bit off topic, are y'all picking at least? Cause every other MOW department is picking from what I've heard.

I Sent it all in the other day. Will we receive a response so we know that they got it?

Nah, whenever they're ready to continue with the process they'll starting scheduling people for the drug test portion.

Oh wow... thank you for the information. I'm in the 7**s. It's moving. Thanks again. How do you check the number they up to? Also, I know no way of predicting , but how long would you guess the next wave gets called.??

Depends on how the first 500 do on pre-employment, drug test, medical. Depends on how big the classes are and how many classes they plan on putting in. Tomorrow is the deadline for the first 500 to send in their pre-employment packets so we'll see what the other people post. I'm in the 29x area so not too far from the middle.

Is there anyway to track what number has been contacted.  I'm just trying to track what list number has been contacted and judge how long till I possibly get called.  I Ned something to base off cause I have to relocate and don't want to jump the gun or be too late. Any info helps , thanks and congrats to all.

The first 500 numbers have been sent pre-employment emails.

I thought no license was needed for track worker. 

But if you have a license they gotta run it anyway.

After responding to the email for pre employment back in January, I get an email today saying I failed to report for labs. I never received any call or email telling me to come in, nothing in my junk mail folder either. This is crazy. Now I’m considering whether I should wait to be contacted for track worker since I’m in the mid 500’s and the list is moving, or restore my name to the bus operator list.

Did you try calling HR?

Does the motor vehicle license information involving points and date of violatings have to be filled out? Or is that only for the bus operator people filling it out ?

 

also for the 49 CFR drug and alcohol testing for dot. Does that apply for us too? Or do we leave it empty? 

Yes, you have to fill out the license portion of the pre-employment section. They also request a copy of your drivers license on top of that.

If you worked for a DOT monitored employee that requires annual urine samples then you should fill out that portion, if you haven't then you don't need to touch it.
