For 2302 my friend that is training right now list # is 140 something.  What’s yours?

Yes and my first testing day is Wednesday which is 7th day.   You have 7,9 & 10th day to be qualified.  Then if you got qualified and don’t have CDL license, then you go to East Chester for training for the license, then off to DMV road test.

They didn’t say. I guess I have to find out when I go in. They just gave my number for the part time list.

Part time?  What exam  number is that?

Maybe you should choose 2302 which I believe is full time .

It will be great if you know your list number. Hope you’re fully vaccinated so you will not be held back,  it’s difficult to get back to them sometimes.  They told us in orientation every 2 weeks they’re hiring 100 people for the rest of the year

100 people for the rest of the year? And what about those us that are waiting for a reschedule????

It’s 1301. I’m definitely going for the full time. But I was going through the motions because part time called me first.

I think he said 100 people every two weeks and keep that hiring pattern up for the rest of the year. So essentially 200 people a month.

If you know your list number it will be easier.  In that way you can let them know they skipped your number or why.  Then they have to put you in.  Sometime when you get held back for any reason it seems like they forget you or you just have to get back to them to be put back on the list.  My friend had that issue and they called him in ASAP once they realized they had past his number.

Ok.  You can let them know which one you preferred.  And as soon as that OA & TA exams come out make sure you guys who with MTA Bus takes it.

TA will be a better shot.  You have more options in Depots and if there was to lay off operators, they’ll have to find a civil service position for you.  That’s what we were told in class.

Final processing is when you are officially hired and are given a date to start the 7-day training course. You will get your pass on orientation day. Your badge you receive after you have completed training and are finally ready to go off on your own (graduation).

I seriously think that this exam, they going to place you in Spring-Creek depo based on the description. Will that be the case? If so March exam will be a better option.

I just took the test on 2/2/22. Should I wait for them to tell me my score or is it better to call them and ask. If so, when would it be appropriate to do so?

One day. That's if you got all id's documents, covid shots, clean record. Etc. Then is drug test screening. However That's what takes long be there for all day depending how many people showed up. Bring lunch and water because, is not like you can hold it for 12 hrs. I came out at 7:45 pm from a 12 pm appointment. Then is wait to be call for day 2 physical -could take a week or 2 or a month- pass the physical examination....but wait if you pass the physical and is over a month you migth have to do the drug screening again. Then you will get the offer letter to start your training. @BOO3

1 day for now.  First day is paperwork and drug testing.  If your appointment is 6:30am that means you’re getting out early.  The earliest you get on line over there is better chance of getting out early,
