A red light camera infraction is different...yes...you do pay it off yourself and I believe it obviously stays on your record....When you see your GS for it, ask him/her and tell him/her that you're on the Dispatcher list.....hopefully it should help! Good luck

Hey Guys! Congrats on those that passed and good luck on those waiting.

I just caught my first violation ever yesterday. red light!

 

I wonder what damage will this cause. i am on this list number and very close to be called if so now. :(

 

Advise, don't let the line stress you. I let two days of customers arguing because they were waiting for more than an hour get to me. YES, I am one of those who cares for the line. Is my neighborhood, my mom, wife and children use it.

 

Praying for you bro!!!

Ok guys. Sorry for not being as active. 
I was pulled to the office. The GS gave me an RP. Is my first negative remark on my file. 
I went to the Sup of support after and was told I am still good for promotion. 
I can advise the rest of us waiting, to do as I am doing now, back to day 7 of training days. Sucks I needed a hiccup to realize it. 
 

Also, anyone that can share materials for this upcoming exam, please share it with me. I am taking it and need to A’s it. 
I will really appreciate it.

Is there a Formula we have to study regarding the pay? 

Learning pay is kinda a thing of the past. Computers do everything. Its good to know for personal purpose but last test there was no math. Test before that had basic math. Just saying that it should not be a big focus.

Read all the Bulletins, Directives, Rules & Regulations Dept of Buses "The Rule Book" - ((Ask your depot GS Support for that book)), 19A rules, and Code of Conduct,  Ask a Post Dispatchers questions about tricks and tips on road operations. 

The math part is a hit or miss, So far both SLD exams had no math. If there is one, learn recaps.

The last two recent exams were into two sections. "Job abilities, and General Knowledge" 

Good luck.

Records is being pulled up. Mac scheduled from Monday. Class starts from April 2.  List goes to 172. 15 TA and 15 MTA. What else I am missing???

If it’s 15 TA then It will go up to 176 because last one to get called was 161

I swear I was just doing the math before reading your response. And thats crazy. That means that from 162 up everyone qualified. Thats kinda unusual to hit 15 straight.
