youngblaze Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share #76 Posted September 23, 2011 Finally mailed the letter this morning, decided against going in personon Monday because of the UN Assembly meeting...I lack motivation sometimes and when I am motivated.....it dies after awhile like a flame on a candle. Yes, I most likely would have been in next weeks class or the 10/10 one. I really didn't have a good reason not to report other then being unprepared. I just didn't think it would be that big of a deal to pass up a couple of classes. But the way it's been going they have been skipping numbers so it seems. :tup: hope you get a new letter for pre-employment soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion69 Posted September 23, 2011 Share #77 Posted September 23, 2011 :tup: hope you get a new letter for pre-employment soon! Whenever it comes, I will be ready this time around. Do you know what time the Macy's parking garage opens? It's around the corner from 180 Livingston St, I know there are outdoor lots all around there. I took the subway for the BOSS but that was during the middle of the day, much better option for me to drive so I can get there no later then 6:30am. I would get on at Queens Blvd/65th place on the BQE and get off at the Tillary St exit, left on Jay St, left on Livingston St. I checked the traffic cams between 5:30am-6:00am and traffic is light going in that direction(westbound) of the BQE. Taking the F train from 74th/Broadway to Hoyt/Schermerhorn St or taking the express to Queens Plaza and then the G would take way longer then driving in my case.

Unfortunately I dont, I took public transportation as I garage my car during the week being that I reside in Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very thankful for having a decent list number despite getting a 85 on the exam. Yes, I agree I want to take this all the way and not just go through the motions. This video is for all of us on the 8006 list. :tup::tup::tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really didn't have a good reason not to report other then being unprepared. I just didn't think it would be that big of a deal to pass up a couple of classes. 10/10? Unlikely. It takes about a good month before they actually place you into a class, assuming there's no delay in processing your paperwork and such. You also have to account for the time MTA requests information from DCAS, which is once a month, usually around the 15th. I'm banking on a class for you in November, maybe. It's just how the wheels turn in processing, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charcole Posted September 25, 2011 Share #83 Posted September 25, 2011 I got my letter to report to livingston street on 9/23 for my drug test. My List number is in the 1670's on 8006. They are moving through the list faster than I thought. Hopefully I only have to do this drug test once. I was excited to hear that your list number is in the 1670's but when I call they are lower in numbers.. keep me posted, I know u must have more info than I do..... thanks.......

It's just how the wheels turn in processing, ya know? What I meant to say was had I not taken myself off the list most likely I would have been in either one of those 2 classes.

charcole Posted September 30, 2011 Share #85 Posted September 30, 2011 Does anyone know what number they are up to for exam 8006? I have called but not sure how accurate they are. thank you for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charcole Posted October 2, 2011 Share #86 Posted October 2, 2011 Cool bro! I wish you the best of luck! Make sure to have all the documents requested i.e. Birth Certificate, Social Security and a New York State Commercial Driver License Permit Class B with Passenger endorsement and NO Air Brake restriction. Some one got sent home because they had a NJ permit...had it been the full license it would have been ok. Also, in regards to employment and list of residences only go as far back as when you got out of high school, I'm 22 so I listed everything back till I was 12 lol the lady at the front desk said that, that wasn't necessary. All in all make sure you bring the following with you on Friday: -License AND CDL-P (if you don't have the full license yet) -Birth Certificate -Social Security -Completed Pre-Employment Application & other forms that were mailed in the Pre-Interview invite... -Court Disposition (if applicable) -Official Accident Report (if applicable) Oh and make sure that all documents you bring are ORIGINALS, people were sent back home for that and lack of having the the permit or proper endorsements. Best of Luck:tup: hi all, I am new to this forum, and I have been reading alot about wjhat you guys are all going through, some sound very discouraging, I still have along way to go I am 2532, I cant wait, but I read that you also needed to bring a high school diploma? I myself never heard that, but is that true being that I have to dig that up... I just want to know thanks....B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being over-prepared is the preparation you can possibly have, for any interview. Policies change over time, so you never know what you'll need.

It's normal to be nervous in the beginning, but as time goes by you will feel more comfortable driving the bus, don't fear the bus, but respect it.

I wonder if prgordo's class matched or exceeded your class passing rate(31 out of 36). I believe today is day 10 for those who got extended.
