Hey all, I am scheduled for medical/drug on Friday 9/15. I do not have my HS diploma ( I lost it) . I have been calling the last 2 days but no one answers or responded to my voicemail. Will a copy be acceptable? The most my former HS will give me is transcripts. Thanks in advance! 

Take what you have. A copy might be ok.

Ive been trying to get on to them for the pat few days to. Haven’t been answering,

maybe the best bet might be to walk with the copy and they may give u time to get the original 🤷🏽‍♀️

They’re very difficult to get on the phone. You’d be better off going in person. I used to try and call them MULTIPLE times and it just rings and rings and rings and rings…..

When did you email them? They sometimes take a while to email you back. No lie… I sent an email to LMACustomerService back in January and they emailed me back in June or July AFTER I was already hired & everything.

Did anyone give you an ETA of how long it’ll take to hear from them?

Nope not at all, back in May they said someone will reach out. That was it.

Your list number is pretty far back. Don't be surprised if you have to do a few more drug tests before reaching the medical portion.

If you have a copy of your high school diploma it should be fine but I’m not 100% sure. The only other way I know of is to contact the state itself for a duplicate but you wouldn’t be getting that by Friday. 

That may work. Or they may give you more time . But they definitely want the actual transcripts more than the Diploma itself. I ordered mines while i was waiting for medical & it took 6 weeks from Albany.

They need the original copy unfortunately. I had misplaced mine also and had brought a copy that they didn’t accept. I had to apply for a new one. Definitely  go. When I went I explained my situation. I was able to do my drug test and I applied for a new copy of my GED. I got it just in time for the medical portion.

I have a quick question. I just did my drug test this week. They’re having a class beginning the last week of September. What are the odds that they’ll call me for that class? this is my second time doing the drug test and will need to complete another medical as well because my first one expired. The problem is I may be going out of the country until the end of this month. The person I spoke to said they’re looking to fill slots for that class so it’s a possibility they’ll call me back. Last time, I waited about a month and a half for a call back.

If you can, I would complete the medical again and then tell them you wish to be considered for the following class if you have to go overseas.

I would stick around . Especially because i think they're putting out at least 2 more classes after this one. You dont wanna miss it.

Anyone know what list # they are up to? I don’t get why they have people doing OPA and drug testing when I did mine back in June and haven’t heard back

wouldnt be surprised if theyre still in the 8000s

[Blu24]

Story of my life 🤣😂😩. So yea, I’m leaving and won’t be here to do the medical 😐. I’m honestly not even canceling my trip especially since it’s a family emergency. I did email them to let them know. If I get in I get in and if I don’t then it wasn’t meant to be. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Zarric]

So as far as HS diploma, they said when I go back for Medical to bring a sealed,signed and stamped transcript. But drug test is done. List# 88xx.

I was mid 8000's and my class graduated two months ago so maybe late 8000's or early 9000's

I agree! I did my OPA in May. They took my 25 bucks which isn’t anything but still, why have ppl do all this and they know we won’t get called. It’s just wild, the list is probably going to expire soon because they have the new test coming out.

Agreed, why take our money for another waiting game. It’s crazy 

[Jericho]

Classes come and go. Y'all wouldn't be the first ones since this list came out where people took the OPA and hadn't heard anything for as long as two years.

CHILL.

What's up everyone, I came out of school car in July and been on the road ever since. It's a pretty cool job, wouldn't have seen my self being a conductor and def didn't thought they were going to get to my list number which was 77##, but they did. Stay positive and your time will come. I took my OPA in August 2022 and got called back for pre employment and drug test in Feb 2023 and medical in May 2023 and started class right after a few weeks. Trust me it takes time, I remember I was fighting with another veteran on here about opa results I kept asking about it and kept asking about what list number they were up too, they got tired of responding to me 🤣🤣, lmao.Now I am a conductor. Don't stress it, and stay positive your time will come if not there's another test coming out in Oct prepare your self for that.
