Dzak Posted June 8, 2014 Share #276 Posted June 8, 2014 Can anyone help me out with figuring out where to get all my clothing for work on SIRTOA as a car maintainer Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk This is the sheet that was given to me for the dress code. I am a bit confused as to what kind of boots to get as there are so many specs. Can anyone point me in the right direction? or where I can purchase them from? The pants are pretty self explanatory which I'm assuming a pair of dickie dark blue or black will do? Any advice would really help me out. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyolik2 Posted June 8, 2014 Share #277 Posted June 8, 2014 go to Sears. i bought my work pants there yesterday. if you go to the SI mall, where the mens clothing is, there is a corner with work/safety clothing. they have water/dirt/grease repellent pants. $25 each. then in the shoes dept, there are safety shoes. water proof, 600v rated. http://www.sears.com/search=safety%20shoes&Black?filter=Color&catalogId=12605&previousSort=ORIGINAL_SORT_ORDER&viewItems=50&storeId=10153&levels=Clothing%2C+Shoes+%26+Jewelry_Shoes there will be on the tongue saying meets blah blah safety rating. i know for CI's we are given out shoes, but had to come in boots before we got them.

romeo1982 Posted June 8, 2014 Share #278 Posted June 8, 2014 Yes that is true..we all got out boots on Thursday but had to travel to college point barn! It was like a 2 hour train ride! Anyway, I'm done with the first week of training. Two more weeks to go!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romeo1982 Posted June 10, 2014 Share #280 Posted June 10, 2014 So in on my second week of training and it's been pretty easy! I have two more weeks to go and it's mostly all overviews of many things! I can't wait to pick a location but I was told that there is going to be new picks in July again! Good luck to all the future car inspector out there applying!!!

lyolik2 Posted June 10, 2014 Share #281 Posted June 10, 2014 dont trust what they say about pick in july. they've been promising it for over a year. learn to take things in one year and let them out the other, especially when its the union promising things. its pure politics.

romeo1982 Posted June 10, 2014 Share #282 Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks for the advice. Mr. Wong is pretty cool man. Kinda funny and good instructor. He's one that really knows how to teach propulsion! A little hard to understand but good teacher Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyolik2 Posted June 10, 2014 Share #283 Posted June 10, 2014 yes, P. Wong, P stands for propulsion. when you take the final test in the cabin of the operator, you will have to repeat everything he taught you about switching, the positions, series, switching to parallel. the regenerative braking, snow brake, friction brake.

Dzak Posted June 10, 2014 Share #284 Posted June 10, 2014 I'm still waiting for a call for my practical. They called me mid May and said to wait for a call or letter and that the practical is going to be somewhere in June Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzak Posted June 14, 2014 Share #285 Posted June 14, 2014 I was told that for the orientation I can dress normal and that I don't have to follow the dress code, is this true? Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyolik2 Posted June 14, 2014 Share #286 Posted June 14, 2014 dzak, you showed the paper with the dress code. said no jeans, wear cargo pants and a plain shirt with no logos, and safety shoes. its sirtoa, for mta we could wear anything we wanted first day, even sneakers and jeans.

Dzak Posted June 15, 2014 Share #291 Posted June 15, 2014 So I was digging through my closet and found a pair of my dewalt boots. They have the following label affixed to them - upload imagem It doesn't say z41 on them but it says atsm f2413-05, I looked it up and that seems to be the new standard.

Dzak Posted June 19, 2014 Share #293 Posted June 19, 2014 So i got a phone call from nyct yesterday saying that they are changing my start date from 6/23 to 6/30. I was so caught of guard i didn't even think to ask why, on top of everything i could barely make out what the lady was saying. All she explained is that SIRTOA called them and said to change my start date to 6/30. I find this very weird and i tried calling her back but to no avail (will try again today). Any one have any ideas as to why they changed it? i figured possible because of payroll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo1982 Posted June 20, 2014 Share #294 Posted June 20, 2014 It's can be any reason. They do what they want without cause. It's only a week later so your good.

Dzak Posted June 29, 2014 Share #299 Posted June 29, 2014 For the guys that had the orientation at 130 Livingston. On the sheet it says to report at 8am sharp for Monday and Tuesdaybut it doesn't say how long the day is or anything else. Does anyone know do they keep us the whole day there or is it shortened? How does it work? And what do they go over? Not that it's a problem or anything but would like to know what to expect.

lyolik2 Posted June 29, 2014 Share #300 Posted June 29, 2014 its a full work day, for which you get paid. therefore its 8-4 both days. you get your bathroom breaks and a lunch break around 12-1. its mostly HR and union stuff. they go over salary, vacation, time keeping, where to call, union stuff, where to go for help, who to talk to, how to stay out of trouble, life insurance, medical insurance, pension. dont sign up for anything except medical insurance, their life insurance is 3x more expensive than what you get get outside. look like a the push to buy timekeeping during vaca in florida. same thing, they will push you to sign up for everything: disability insurance, union donations, life insurance.
