+Young+ Posted April 29, 2016 Share #1 Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) If so, you found the right thread/topic!! For about 18 months (March 2016 - September 2017), I worked for MV Transportation. Although they are known for doing "Access-A-Ride" within the 5 boroughs of New York City, they also operate the Queens College Shuttle, when classes are in session. Requirements: Class B CDL with a "P" endorsement and no N1 nor N2 restrictions. When I was there, the pay started out at $14/hour and when I left, I was getting $16.50/hour. For more information about the shuttle, click here. If you wish to view a picture of the bus they use, click here & here. Although they don't like to admit it, they do use Yellow "Reliant Transportation" School Buses as back ups, if necessary. If you wish to apply, call 718-526-2657/2871 during normal business hours and ask to speak to one of the managers. If you call and they say "Reliant Transportation," you have reached the correct party since they come out of Reliant Transportation's Queens facility, located off of Liberty Avenue in Jamaica.

SevenEleven Posted May 15, 2016 Share #2 Posted May 15, 2016 Like Young, I will be reaching out to anyone with a NY/NJ Class B CDL with Passenger and Air brake Endorsements (including those with a permit), if they are interesting in taking a Bus Operator position with Academy Bus. Academy Bus is the largest privately owned company on the East Coast providing numerous charter, university shuttle and other contracted services. I currently work out of Academy's Hoboken garage, (Hillside terminal to be exact) which is home to the company's headquarters, the central dispatch of charter operations, New York and Columbia University shuttles as well as some routes contracted to us by New Jersey Transit. Academy has garages all up and down the East Coast (Boston to Florida) with 5 garages located in New Jersey. If you are interested, send me a PM or drop a reply here and I'll reply with all the information you need to get started. I am close with one of the safety managers of the company, so we can get your application expedited so you can start ASAP. You will need to be at least 21 years of age, have 3 years of driving experience (under your regular license), at least a CDL Class B permit with the Passenger and Air Brake endorsements, a valid medical exam and a clean driving record. The Hillside terminal is also looking for dispatchers as well. A CDL is NOT required but is preferred. If you want to drop by in person to the garage, the address is located below. 1515 Jefferson Street (Lot #2) Hoboken, NJ 07030 (201) 420-7000 http://www.academybus.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share #3 Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) If you folks are still interested, the company has an Indeed posting which can be viewed by clicking here and on their company website by clicking here. As a reminder, with this job, there is no experience necessary!!!

SevenEleven Posted August 24, 2016 Share #4 Posted August 24, 2016 I've merged Young's thread with mines. You can contact either of us, if you're interested in a position. (Young for MV ; me for Academy) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacks27 Posted April 16, 2017 Share #5 Posted April 16, 2017 Hello guys I hope this can help any B/O candidate speaking from my experience Like others I frequented this forum to get updates for B/O exam list updates. I decided let me go ahead and obtain my Cdl before the MTA calls. Young had always posted valuable info about how the process works and ironically I took a job out in Queens driving college students along a fixed route. Long story short I discovered Young was one of my coworkers. He went out of his way to show me defensive driving techniques. Although I now operate a Hudson rail Link shuttle bus for Metro-North, I can tell any B/O candidate with only a CDL permit with confidence if possible to try and get the Cdl beforehand and to thank Young for all of his help out in Queens. If anyone is interested in a position operating the Metro-North shuttle bus up in the Bronx feel free to shoot me a PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Young+ Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) My apologies for bumping this thread, however I now work at Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC). As a result of the company experiencing a shortage of operators, which is expected to continue until further notice, the company is currently hiring part-time Bus Operators who have little to no experience driving a CDL vehicle. As long as you have a relatively clean abstract and you have a Class B CDL with a Passenger Endorsement, you're good!! Even if you have another full-time job, you can work this second job with no problem, providing it fits within your schedule. If you click here, you'll see that our current fleet consists of four Orions (3, 5, 6 & 7) and four New Flyers (8, 9, 10 & 11). Two of our New Flyer Buses are 2016; the other two are 2018. Yes, that is correct, you can drive practically a brand new bus within New York City, with little to no experience!! For more information, you can either send me a Private Message (PM) with a resume attached or you can email Cyril.Opperman@rioc.ny.gov or you can call (212) 832 4583 for more information.
