B/O 4600 Hiring Process

[cardoxavi]

So just to be clear the A3 restriction is ok when they call you or send you the employment letter. I was gonna take a day off to go get a physical to remove it.

[busdriver3333]

Ok i have an A3 restriction on my cdl permit and just scheduled an appointment with my doc who is registered under dot for a medical certificate on saturday. Hes charging $100 cash. After that I can take it to the dmv monday and pay $17.50 without taking the test over right? I just want to make sure i complete everything right before i have to appear. Thanx guys for all the he

lol 100, there is a place in jfk airport charges 50. from what i understand about a3 is that u cant operate CMV out of state how ever the government agency r exempt from this restriction. so mta r fine?

[Invzo1019]

I don't get it. Don't you get your medical certificate through MTA during the hiring process? I have my CDL B license with A3 restriction. Selected "Excepted Interstate" when I went to the DMV to ammend my drivers license to a class B cdl.

When you go through the hiring process, one of the TA physicians will check you out for a bunch of other things besides what they do for the medical certificate...in the end, if you're good, you don't get anything, which is good. If you do get a "medical hold," then that's something else, which is not good...

 

Youngnycsubwayfan thank you...but how do i get a medical certificate?

If you're getting it for this, don't worry about it. If you're still curious, send me a PM (Private Message) and I'll elaborate there.

 

My friend who went through the hiring process said the A3 restriction was fine...

can someone confirm this?

Yes, it's fine...

 

Yeah it's true I had a3 restriction on my cdl permit too when I did my medical back in January

Thank you!!

 

The A3 restriction just means you have to drive within the NY state so a DOT Medical is not required. Now if you have the DOT medical then you can choose the option to drive in any state. But you have to renew your medical every 2 years. The A3 restriction is not a problem.

Thank you!!

Yes! Don't worry about it!

[busdriver3333]

can someone explain what do they mean by "on outstanding certification"? does that mean i on the next hiring batch?

[Invzo1019]

What's your list number bus driver 333?

[busdriver3333]

What's your list number bus driver 333?

58*

[justdre88]

My list number is 281 and i called today. It also said outstanding certification

[Invzo1019]

Hey just dre. I am 21x. A little before you but most likely we will be called together. Seems like they call 200 at a time. When would you think we would be called for processing?

[justdre88]

I have no idea bro but more than likely very soon if they called people already. And i believe in earlier posts there was someone who was list number 190 and got called for this friday.

[Invzo1019]

lol sort of hoping they don't call until June. I have a cdl road test scheduled in May. Was hoping to get the cdl license before going to training. Oh well.

[justdre88]

Yeah i only have my permit and going to do a few lessons at a driving school to get some type of experience. I should been taking lessons but I dod not think they would start calling now

[Invzo1019]

Yea same here man. I actually just signed up with a driving school last week. They told me the earliest available road test from DMV is in May. Ugh lol.

Non exempted interstate is the one you should get. You must get a dot physical first from a dot qualifying doctor. It's like 75 bucks for the physical. If you do not get the dot physical before getting the permit u will have an A3 restriction which will prevent you from getting the mta job.

For all the people who received the employment paperwork in the mail..... Did you guys also receive a phone call from the mta letting u know they sent you the paperwork and also of the date you are to go down to Livingston st

 

I finally received my letter, however, I cannot take off from work as I am needed and can get in trouble for doing so. I will call and see if I can reschedule and whether or not a specific situation I had gotten into means I have to wait three years.

 

No phone call was received.

OK If you live in New Jersey and drive for the MTA Nyct or Mabstoa you will need the DOT Medical certificate I know from experience.

Ive got a question guys. I'm filling out the motor vehicle license information and it asks if I have any serious moving violations, it doesn't give a time frame (within 3 years etc). Now I know Ive had moving violations a very long time ago but don't remember the dates or years. I pulled my driving abstract online and it shows nothing? what do I write down here? It states that we will be "thoroughly investigated" and that if we lie we will be disqualified. I don't have any need to lie but I don't remember a speeding violation from 12 years ago?

[justdre88]

I was looking at past posts but cant seem to find it. Someone here posted a driving typ of cheat sheet for mta buses. I believe it had the heights limits on it...can someone repost that? Thank you. I believe it would be helpful info for those who are getting called

[justdre88]

I have a question. I know the MTA requires you to have a license for at least 3 years. Im 28 and have had my permit and driving since a teenager but finally got my license once I was car shopping (had no need to have a drivers license before then) right now i've had a full drivers license for a year and a half....could i be disqualified for not have my full license for 3 years? My license number is the same as my permit so will that cound as having a drivong record

By the way i found the page with that cheat sheet. http://www.nyctransitforums.com/forums/topic/34980-bus-operator-exam-2613-questions/page-421?do=findComment&comment=791650

First, you posted the link for the cheat sheets without giving me credit whatsoever? That's nice. I do plan on posting those 'cheat sheets' in this topic/thread, I just need to play around with a new concept in order not to make the webpage as big.

 

As far as the answer to your question: Yes, you can initially be disqualified. Like I said to someone else, the best is to initially go down there to tell them that you are interested, and, in another year and a half, you can go down there again to take the drug test and to start the process. I would not simply mail them the letter back, because if you do, that means that you are not interested in the position, which is not the case.

Lol sorry bro yes it was your post. Totally didnt look at the name sorry about that

[mct9891]

Does anyone know the vision requirement? 

Do you need to have a certain uncorrected vision in order to get the job?

Apology accepted. Like I said, give me time with posting those "cheat sheets" on this thread/topic.

20/40, whether you wear glasses or not.

Young NYC subway fan. Would an entry level separation from the military dq someone? It's not a dishonorable discharge. He was in the military for only 2 weeks. Again it's not a dishonorable discharge that he has just an entry level separation which is basically equivalent to not even being in the military

[mleads310]

hey youngnycfan, maybe you can help me out with a previous question I posted,

. I'm filling out the motor vehicle license information and it asks if I have any serious moving violations, it doesn't give a time frame (within 3 years etc). Now I know Ive had moving violations a very long time ago but don't remember the dates or years. I pulled my driving abstract online and it shows nothing? what do I write down here? It states that we will be "thoroughly investigated" and that if we lie we will be disqualified. I don't have any need to lie but I don't remember a speeding violation from 12 years ago?

 

 

 

Maybe you can help me out with a question from earlier:

[mct9891]

Young,

 

So as long as I'm at least 20/40 with glasses I'm fine?
