Noflexdont Posted February 10, 2011 Share #176 Posted February 10, 2011 SO how have you done with driving test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dre Posted February 10, 2011 Share #177 Posted February 10, 2011 I know a guy who's nephew was in training from the 5025 list and quit because he was getting similar hours like you have. He had a connection at Pioneer school bus and went there instead. Can you imagine? Why did he even take the BO test? Anyway, I'd love the 1630 shift. You miss school kids and go home to a normal (somewhat) night sleep and have the next day to do what you need to before going back..I guess these days we take the shift they give us when it comes. School Bus is OK but doing this for 10 years, time to move on . Pioneer bus bus company is all good a 1181 ATU union, drivers make the same as MTA divers after 5 yrs. $29.98 per hr.

sjdmt Posted February 12, 2011 Share #178 Posted February 12, 2011 while i was talking my cdl lessons on a school bus i had to getbacked up once while making a left on troutman st coming from woodward ave. There was a snapple truck double parked near the corner making a delivery to a deli. Sjdmt: I read on here that you are better off telling the instructor that you don't think you can complete the turn which is better then jumping the curb, etc. Sounds like you are getting the hang of it, you can only get better.:tup: thank you and yes i passed the mtata training now i have to do the dmv test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locomotion69 Posted February 12, 2011 Share #180 Posted February 12, 2011 thank you and yes i passed the mtata training now i have to do the dmv testWHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN? DO THEY HAVE A OPENING AT YOUR DEPOT BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE I LIKE TO GO FOR MY YEARS? Congrats! You had us wondering there for awhile. You get 2 tries with the DMV road test, but you should be all right. Make sure you put Fresh Pond as your number 1 choice. Depot selection is based on your list number and any available slots at the depots. With your list number I am afraid is going to be one of the last ones to pick.

Noflexdont Posted February 13, 2011 Share #182 Posted February 13, 2011 Come to the Pond, i know there is always open work runs here.Now you will be doing line training and you see the real job. Your going to train with some old timers who thinks when someone don't pay the fare that they are stealing from there pockets. Just let it slide it not your money. Congrats now just to pass the DMV test and one year probation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noflexdont Posted February 14, 2011 Share #184 Posted February 14, 2011 When i Pick i check to see if i have to make a relief or not. I pick where i don't have to make reliefs( hate waiting for Buses,LOL) always Pull Outs. I usually clear 1:05am to 1:20am depending on the day.
