Second, tell me about it...in addition to having a Superintendent (back in February 2014 out of the Flatbush Depot) who didn't wear his seat belt due to his weight, who made someone who had a permit drive over the Marine Parkway Bridge...

BreeddekalbL Posted July 3, 2018 Share #780 Posted July 3, 2018 I Have a question for hiring process when they want your abstract do they want you to bring a copy or will they pull your record from a system etc? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted July 3, 2018 Share #781 Posted July 3, 2018 You have to bring a full copy if you have an out of state license. They can pull NY abstracts from the computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can pull NY abstracts from the computer. Just to add my two cents: If you transferred your license from another state to either New York, New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania, regardless if it is a CDL or a regular Driver's License, MTA (both at 180 Livingston Street and Zerega Avenue) still want to see three years of driving experience. Therefore, make sure that when you report to either Livingston Street or Zerega, you have an abstract which is less than 30 days old from the previous state(s)!!

I really wld appreciate the help. When the MTA is training you, are u considered an employee @ that time? or when are u considered so? Also, do u get paid during that 7+wk training period? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are considered an employee the moment you get sworn in at 180 Livingston. All training is paid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that if you have your CDL from New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania - you're good to go!! However, if you have a regular license and plan on going into the training with a permit, then a New York State Driver's License is the only state that they will accept with a permit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean less than 30 days old? Your sounding a little confusing there A regular copy is fine. If you click here, this sample would suffice (except for all of the bad stuff within the past three years) with the Comissioner's signature, which comes automatically when you order it online. I don't know about other states, but you can order your New York State certified abstract online by clicking on this page. As far as less than 30 days old: Whenever I went to 180 Livingston Street and Zerega (back in 2014), I remember them saying that over and over again for all out-of-state licenses. They may have meant that they wanted an abstract less than 30 days old if you have a CDL from New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania, which is acceptable, however perhaps someone else from this site can clarify this for me...thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all coming from FLA So a regular copy is fine? In printing an abstract from them it would be best to have it done 2 days before I come up to visit 180 Livingston? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second, remember two terms: pivot point and reference point. The pivot point is the object the rear tire "pivots" around when making the turn. The reference point is the thing you "refer" to when making the turn. For the standard 90 degree right turn, your reference point is the vertical bar to either the curb or the left rear bumper of the car which is parked adjacent and initially perpendicular to you. Make sure you also keep your four feet on your right side as well. The easiest way to do this is to put yourself over the white dotted line. As a result of you doing this, not only will you have the space to make a wide turn, but you won't have to worry about this since this is one of the things you always have to do. I would encourage you to look at and print the 5th and 6th pages of the handouts. If the handouts are too small, you can copy and paste the image into Microsoft Word, make the images bigger by pulling the corners and print them out. Good luck!!
