Express Bus Operator Posted March 17, 2015 Share #751 Posted March 17, 2015 Day 5 went ok. Not happy about myself i made few mistakes that i should be aware of but i got satisfactory. Guys its a lot to take it. In my group one guy i guess couldn't handle pressure and didnt show up today. Best adwice listen listen and listen what superintendent tells you. Remember he is your way to getting job. If u do way he tells u to u be ok. Hey Gucio84 I'm not sure if you have mention it yet, But whats your list number? it doesn't have to be the full thing.

Depending on your company this may be very difficult to do or may not even be an option. This would not have been an option for my previous professional role within a very large company. For anyone who has yet to start the process, ensure you know any HR policies, or you have to make the decision and take a risk. Also, depending on your company and relationship with management, you may be able to negotiate that you can resign, but will come back if the job does not work out. Again, it's risky, but I know others who have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepurgameup Posted March 19, 2015 Share #764 Posted March 19, 2015 @gucio84. How hard was training. What advice can u give me in order to pass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucio84 Posted March 19, 2015 Share #765 Posted March 19, 2015 Training is not so hard. Best advice is to listen to superintendent. Listen everything he/she say. They will tell u everything. Most improtant thing is to understand reference point and pivot point. Also mirrors. Set it up correctly and check every 3-5 seconds. U be ok. Remember bus turning different than tour car so listen what superintendent will tell u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dainty2200 Posted March 19, 2015 Share #768 Posted March 19, 2015 Question for those who have to do road test. When doing your pre trip. Do you dumb your air valve so the door is on manual so you can push it open and close or do you do an interlock check. Just a little confused because im not sure if you dumb the valve then push the doors closed then when u talk about panel 1, 2 then you push the door open and say no obstruction or debris in stairwell.

Tazmaniac755 Posted March 19, 2015 Share #772 Posted March 19, 2015 From what I've read you still continue training after you qualify for the dmv road test but the road test isn't for a few weeks after qualifying so will they give you a day to go to the dmv to renew your permit if need be because mine runs out May 5th and I have to wait until the beginning of April to renew my permit due to being on a fixed income?
