When I went on the Linden Yard tour this past Saturday (I was in the afternoon group wearing the "Cardozo Soccer" jacket), I asked the Superintendent about that and he said that if you have the license (which I happen to have), you might be able to get a job within the Fleet Division right out of class...we shall see...

Which CDL class do you need to get into the Fleet Division?

Ideally, you want the Class A CDL,  so you can drive both the tractor trailers and the single units, such as the box trucks. If you get the Class B CDL, you will be confined to the single units and not the tractor trailers. More information can be obtained here & here.

Of course there are. I believe they are trying to make sure there are at least 2500-300 Track workers on hand (don’t take my word to be gospel). Currently there’s about 2000-2100 Track employees out there. 

The new influx of employees will mostly be sent to cleaning gangs as that’s what’s been pushed as one of the major causes of delays.

No I’m a New Yorker, I was think of getting a B but the A seems like the way to go.

What's your list number? I'm in the 1900s been waiting since august for medical 

[+Young+]

So I just got back from Livingston Street. I got there by 7 AM, successfully took a drug test and I was out by 10 AM (ish). My list # is 28**.

For those folks, members and guests, who got "false" letters in September and have not went to Livingston Street, I would do so ASAP. As long as you have one of those letters, you're still good. I also wouldn't bother to waste my time going to DCAS to get your name restored on the list. Go straight to Livingston Street and see what happens.

Also, make sure you run off a copy of your pre-employment application before you hand it in. This and your CPD-B have to match. If not, you will get grilled in final processing (trust me).

Now if they give you a hard time in which there are no Track Worker vacancies available, I would explain that the mail at your residence is messed up. If they still give you a hard time, I would ask to speak to Ms. Patricia A. Lodge, the Vice President of Human Resources, or Ms. Emma Marie Rivera, the Executive Vice President of HR.

Hopefully one of these days they'll get their act together...

Yeah I'm gonna have to, I called ms Robinson last week and she told me they weren't up to my number yet, so this is very odd. I did receive and email on oct 11 not to come in because I received the 2nd canvas in the mail for pre employment process and was told I would be contacted in 2-3 weeks. Going on 4 weeks now so I think I needa go down there asap

I agree. And if they give you a hard time, ask to speak to one of those ladies. That should say something itself.

Good luck...

Hi guys, i went in August for the drug test and recieved an email on october 11 that in 2-3 weeks i will be called for the medical. Its now  November 7th. Ive tried calling leaving voicemails and emails for Mrs. Robinson with no answer till yesterday where all she wrote was shes out of the office to call a Mr. Moran in which she gave me the wrong phone number for.  Needless to say i found the correct number and left a few messages with no response. Is there anyone else having an issue and is there someonexelse i could call. My list number is 22**.

First of all, make sure you hide the last digit or two of your list number in order to hide your identity. Keep in mind that anyone can view this site as a guest.

Second, depending on how bad you want this job, I would go back down in person and ask them what's going on. The situation is so messed up and I think they're focusing on whoever has been in their office lately compared to other folks. Even @Queens718, whose list number is in the 2600's, went down on Friday 10/27, which is less than two weeks ago for the first drug test and he's going in for the medical exam tomorrow. Even myself, with a list number in the 2800's, went down to Livingston Street today to find out what my story was, and surprisingly, they let me take a drug test with the "false" letter that I got in September.

I even tried to call DCAS the past two days for an update and guess what I got - nothing. That should say something itself...

Sounding like everything is screwed up down there its probably so much going on to handle i would do exactly what @+Young+ did and go down and see what the story is if you received a letter before and nothing happen weeks down the line 

[Chris127]

Is it safe to say that they are in the 2000’s now?? Because they system on dcas only saying 1600.

Al though I’m like 40 numbers ahead of you I had to take my drug test few days after you as my mail never showed up, hoping to get email for medical soon and don’t get the run around calling ms.robinson again
