Exam # 4615 - April 1st to April 30th, 2024

Exam # 4616 - May 1st to May 31st, 2024

Exam # 4617 - June 1st to June 30th, 2024

While the Notice of Examination can be viewed here, which includes information on how to apply online, if you need more information in regards to having a Commercial Driver License (CDL) or a Commercial Learner Permit (CLP), click here. Just note that, unlike the Bus Operator Positions for MTA Bus Company and/or MaBSTOA, you need to have your CDL or CLP by the time of appointment, compared to when you submit your online application for the position.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Happy Posting!!

Hello all, I’ve had my class A CDL with passenger endorsement for over 10 years. Does this help speed up the hiring process or is it strictly based on your written test score?

It is initially based on your written test score. However, providing you have no disqualifying restrictions, such as "N1" or "N2," what's good is that, once you pass the 10-Day training session, you do NOT have to take the CDL road test, since you already accomplished that in your lifetime. Even if you took the CDL road test under the "old" format which was about an hour in change with the engine compartment closed, what's good is that you do NOT have to take the revised 2 & 1/2 hour CDL road test, which now includes an inspection of the engine compartment.

(If you need a list of the restrictions, check out the bottom of the second page of this PDF document.)
