youngblaze Posted September 13, 2011 Share #51 Posted September 13, 2011 So are you saying that Seal has to go down to 180 Livingston Stto get this straightened out? prgordo #820 got the call for the medical in only 2-3 days after he took the drug test. It seems like they are skipping numbers because this has happened to others on the 8006 list before. You are right though, he has to stay on top of this. Not sure if he gets taken off the list if he never got notified to come in for the medical or for thee 2nd drug test. You think you have a chance for the next class(9/26) blaze? If I were him I would. Ideally if my situation was like prgordo's who received the call the very next day I feel as though I would be able to make it into the next class as I have not had any medical issues in the past. However, only time will tell if I will be contacted to join the 9/26 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handling his dads estate isn't that simple, even more so since it's not in NY. He is on the conductor list with a very good chance of getting called early next year. We don't know if his name will be removed from the list or not. Is it really true that you are removed from the list for not showing up for the 2nd drug test or for the medical if you never received the notice and or call? From what I understand is that once you start the pre employment process you can't stop it for whatever reason, that you have to continue it.....

prgordo Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share #65 Posted September 27, 2011 Sleeping ? ummmmmmmm no Hey guys Day 1 at Zerega Woke up at 5:45 am Left at 6:00 am only 25 min drive Found parking half a block away We commenced at 7:00 sharp all paperwork / 1 hr lunch / ID metrocard find out training depot ( I report to Quill at 9:00 am ) short video /day over :tup: * Paperwork felt like a do over application, everything you put before you will put again . I realized I had more criminal violations then I thought I did (loitering, red light camera ), last chance to be honest, I was denied Dual employment no biggie I told them I wont leave other job until I pass 6 weeks here.

Locomotion69 Posted September 27, 2011 Share #66 Posted September 27, 2011 So much for those people who said parking is hard to find around there. I got confused, 7:00am is the report time for day 1 at Zerega. 6:00am is for training, but it can start as late as 10:00am if I remember correctly. 6:00am-2:00pm, 9:00-5:00pm, 10:00-6:00pm. They are throwing you right into the city, that can work to your advantage. How many were there in the class today? How many from the 8006 list? Would you know the highest list # there from the 8006? thanks and good luck tomorrow. I hope you aren't driving into Quill tomorrow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prgordo Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share #67 Posted September 27, 2011 Dont get me wrong I got lucky with the parking alot of cars at that time you got sanitation / zerega / school bus company. I wont drive into the city its 20 min train ride from BK i was hoping to use ID but they said it wont work and my station theres no agent to flash. a lil nervous I never drove a bus before, I just got my Permit when they sent me Letter for interview. P.S for those with just a permit you have to pay for the Road test and you need the reciept when the training starts I had to get mines today at DMV after orientation. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngblaze Posted September 27, 2011 Share #68 Posted September 27, 2011 hey, I too have that fear but it has somewhat died down a bit. After watching a few B/O's at work I have the feeling that if we just take it slow and don't do anything stupid (i.e speeding, abrupt braking, changing lanes without looking, mounting the curb etc...) We should be fine come qualification day. From what I've been reading I get the feeling they want to see that we can maintain control of vehicle and most importantly execute what we have learned exactly how we were taught to....I guess we gotta open up our ears, humble our ego's and take it one step at a time (haha you would think I qualified already lol, hope this helps boost your confidence it definitely just did for me lol). Oh and haha quill my mom lives right across the street when ever I'm there I get a nice roof top view of the depot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbr40 Posted September 27, 2011 Share #69 Posted September 27, 2011 my friend got sworn in today. the only thing he was debating on do he get to choose the depot he want to work for or they pick it for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard of nice ocean or riverfront views, but a roof top view of a bus depot? doesn't get any better then that, lol. They say the driving is the easy part of the job, but for us hopefully soon to be B/O's it's our main concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
