B/O 4600 Hiring Process

[Teegrid67]

My bad

Even if you have a high list number you still have hope. Keep your head up.

[Teegrid67]

hmm, how? If someone passed with a 80 but their list number is in the 10,000s how would they possibly be called?

how? They will get called after the people with low list numbers fail out somewhere in the processing. Thats how

when would you guys suggest getting the CDL permit and license by? trying to figure out a schedule...

 

Speaking personally, if you think you got 0-1 wrong (or entitled to credits which will put your score to a 98.33 -> 115++) (- realistically there shouldn't be too many with those over 100), you should get the CDL permit as soon as possible at your leisure/convenience, but my suggestion no later than the end of June. If you got two wrong you'll have additional time. 

 

If you have the time and are able to, pursue the CDL license through a driving school and aim for completion towards the end of July or end of August (you'll probably have more time if you got 2 or more wrong). You should be safe even if you fail your first CDL road test, but definitely don't rely on that. I would suggest, if you don't drive a car regularly get at least 10 lessons with a few close to the road test date. If you drive regularly play it by ear, but keep in mind your bad habits might affect how you perform.

Well, I went to Ferrari Driving School (http://www.ferraridrivingschool.com/) for my CDL. They do have several packages available. If I was you, do some research. Depending on where you live, there are several driving schools out there for you to look into. If you live in Queens, like me, you can look into driving schools located in NYC and Nassau County. If you live in the Bronx, you could look into schools in Westchester.

There is no NYC Residency Credit for this exam.

 

For Veterans credit reach out the the Examinations Unit as soon as possible because you need to get this information to them before they establish the list.

Wondering when we would recieve our final answer results. I really hope they start the processing for this exam at least by fall.

Greyhound is wearing me out on the extraboard. But working for greyhound is very good experience.

Hopefully soon! Unfortunately, I haven't seen much movement on the 2613 list. The only update I can provide is that one NYCTF member in the 2700's did a second drug test and no other members from 2800's and above have had any further movement. I would check out the last three pages of that thread as two former Greyhound operators have shared their experiences with us.

 

I am not going to make any predictions other than by the end of the year we should hear something.

 

To change your picture profile go to the top right and drop down the menu click, My Settings and you should see the Change Photo option.

Ty 161 I appreciate your reponse

[MHGQ04]

3196 was the last hired ????????????

[161 New York]

3196 was the last hired

 

This list number 3,196 appears to be for the OA Exam 3101 according to Qboro14's post.

 

Per YoungNYCSubwayfan, for the May 2015 update, the last appointed for TA Exam 2613 was 2,684 out of the 3,617 total candidates. However all remaining candidates are no longer on outstanding certification (so in theory they are "looking" at those remaining candidates). We shall see if that number moved at all, but it remained the same since April.

just received vmail from nyct. the list will be established in 9 months...(

Edited June 5, 2015 by blackzima

[MHGQ04]

9 months tho??

[161 New York]

Voice-mail and e-mail received too.

 

Realistically, that equates to March - April 2016. That is a very long time and like many longer than we would have anticipated. 

 

In any event, I do appreciate the TA providing us with an update.

 

Regarding our friends in Exam 2613, I am guessing a lot of people are reinstating and that retirements/ general turnover is low. I am guessing this was largely unexpected on the TA's behalf due to the initial speed with the examinations.

 

For the folks who got one wrong, including myself, realistically August 2016 at the very earliest. 

 

For those of you who received permits: I would suggest pursuing your licences at your leisure. (I just passed my road test today! - though I may stay in the corporate world for now ) You can renew your permit once. Those who haven't received their permits have time.

 

Good Luck & Stay in Touch Everyone!!
