romeo1982 Posted September 16, 2013 Share #751 Posted September 16, 2013 Does anyone know if they started hiring from this exam yet? if so, do you think they will get to every person on this exam for just half since there is about 20000 people on this list.

RoyalChubsta Posted September 26, 2013 Share #753 Posted September 26, 2013 I also just got my letter to the BOSS exam for 10/12. I completely had forgotten about this, that's how long it's been. What I don't recall is if i NEED to have my cdl permit when appointed or my reg lic is ok. Also, I'm confused about the exact cdl endorsements that I need. Can anyone help? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64cavemen Posted September 27, 2013 Share #756 Posted September 27, 2013 I have a class A cdl with airbrakes of course and passengers endorsement. I was on a manhattan bus talking to the driver and he says that you need the permit even if you have the proper license. I don't know about this. Does anyone have a clue?

I was on a manhattan bus talking to the driver and he says that you need the permit even if you have the proper license. I don't know about this. Does anyone have a clue? If you currently possess a Class A CDL License with the proper endorsements then you don't need the permit. The permit are for those that don't have a CDL they may start with the permit which is the prerequisite for the MTA. However, if you don't have the proper endorsements but still have a Class A CDL is not sufficient for MTA appointment. Make sure you have the airbrakes, passengers and Core Knowledge. Since you already have the license you already have the endorsements. Don't worry about it, you have the proper license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks guys! This BOSS exam been going on since last year I have taken it and never got called for my medical. Just received an offer this year and nothing else. This is an old exam MTA is still trying to make money from. Good luck to all. for the CDL just go to the dmv get the book and study it pass the written test air brakes, passenger and core knowledge get the permit, sit and wait to be called. the cdl permit is good for 2 years. The MTA will train you and allow you to use the bus for the road test. Best way to get licensed through the MTA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted September 28, 2013 Share #760 Posted September 28, 2013 I report oct.12th. List number in the 14,000s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64cavemen Posted September 29, 2013 Share #761 Posted September 29, 2013 October 12th BOSS exam is for the remaining candidates who have not yet taken the exam for the 2301. MTA did mention that they were going to establish a/the list on September 9th. I guess since it's in random order they are probably getting a head start with the list from the first 11, 000 plus candidates that already have been tested and qualify. With these numbers they have plenty of time to add the candidates who have higher list numbers later on. Once again... GOOD LUCK TO ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ogrecnfd Posted October 2, 2013 Share #765 Posted October 2, 2013 I have a CDL Class B. I still need to acquire my passenger endorsement. I went to the DMV and acquired my permit. My question to you all, is a permit sufficient enough to get hired, Or do I have to obtain my endorsement on my own. I ask because the DMV requires for me to take another road test. I do not have readily access to a school bus or such. Renting one tends to be costly. I’m just curious if it was needed. Times are tough and any dollar saved go’s a very long way.

A permit is sufficient for the job and MTA will lend the bus for your road test. Here is what you need. A valid drivers license without restrictions and clean. Class B license if you already have the airbrakes just get the passenger endorsement. Bus drivers for MTA requirement is Class B License with core knowledge, airbrakes and passenger endorsements. Since you already have Class B license just get the passenger endorsements is all you need because you already have airbrakes and core knowledge all you need is the passenger and good luck brother.

RoyalChubsta Posted October 4, 2013 Share #768 Posted October 4, 2013 Just out of curiosity . when you pass your road test with the MTA training does the fee for the cdl license come out our pocket or does the mta cover that? I heard the cdl bps lic runs anywhere between 1250-1850? is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who ever told u that probably was giving u the price if u had to go to a driving school for bus training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't MTA tell you where to get the uniforms? At least you will be working for MTA Bus Company and have your pension and free bus pass. That also goes for your family as well. That's great news. Good luck on the training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
