WannaBeMTA12 Posted February 4, 2014 Share #2676 Posted February 4, 2014 Not sure if I'm posting this right but bus #2440 Picture is sideways as I can't figure out how to fix it on NY phone. That's the horn. Left directional. High beam. Right directional. Now as far as the speakeasy and emergency button those are in the usually place the same as the local busses Wow. That's interesting. Yes Ur in a prevost I see the steering wheel adjustment button above. Well fellas. Training is canceled 2morro because of this storm, returning thursday and we're making up the day on Saturday. . And 2morro was day 7! That blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Young+ Posted February 4, 2014 Share #2682 Posted February 4, 2014 Wow tough luck. I start monday and might be a huge storm sunday into monday so Feb 10 people might be in same boat. I don't think so, because according to previous posts, we do not do any driving on February 10th, it's just paperwork, videos, assignments, distribution of passes and that's it. In addition, if you look at the 10-day forecast on weather.com, as of 5:15 PM it's going to be dry Tuesday and Wednesday, with a 40% chance of either rain or snow on February 13th, so we might be impacted by that... F all that. Tomorrow was day 7. And my superintendent is going on vacation thursday.....so I ain't even Gunna have him for my day 7 evaluation....I already figured thus guy out and learned his way..... Ouch! Good luck WannaBe!

Correct. Be prepared to spend 6 hours filling out 5 pieces of paper with the same info. Then lunch. Then outdated safety videos. Then hand out passes and depot assignments.

If your day 7 is in the city . less traffic for you ... Good luck. And for the guys that don't make it on 7 don't stress it a lot of people make it on 9 like myself.

Yesterdays storm wasn't on the 7 day forecast until 24-36 hours prior. How often does mass transit completely shut down over a snowstorm? There have only been two times this happened - for Hurricanes. In addition, I just heard on the TV that the weekend snowstorm is not going to come all at one time like the others. Finally, in inclement weather, MTA employees are required to go to work anyway, right? Even if this means sitting around in the depot and playing cards with co-workers or reading a book, right?

Rm3271 Posted February 5, 2014 Share #2694 Posted February 5, 2014 Fellas, TA will not be shutting down! LOL! As an operator you MUST report, no matter what! Just listen to the media how they stress to everyone to use mass transit. There's plenty of chains for the buses... And driving with them suck cause you are told not to exceed 20mph and the noise... You go home with a headache! Now they might reschedule the orientation class if it gets really bad. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tone 718 Posted February 5, 2014 Share #2696 Posted February 5, 2014 In the meanwhile Ur line training. That's what my superintendent says How many times do they give you to past dmv road test? If you passed day 7, or 8 and 9? because it looks like I still gotta wait for new list number because mta screwed up and they haven't sent the new list numbers to dcas yet. So that gives me time to get my cdl license this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you qualify on days 7 and 9, you have two chances to pass te DMV road test. You must pay twice though. If you qualify on day 10, you have one chance.

So that gives me time to get my cdl license this month. From reading prior posts, if you passed training on days 7 or 9 you get two times. If you pass training on day 10 you get 1 try. I would have gotten my CDL, however the college term ended the week before Christmas. The same week they called me for a second drug test and they wanted me back on December 31st for medical and possibly final processing. Now, if I knew I was going to be placed on medical hold, which took close a month to clear , then I would have gotten the CDL with all of the free time I had. However, like someone else said to me several times, you can't look back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
