There was a big crack down in all the districts some time ago with all those parking permits the sanmen were using.
Turned out they were all either fake or illegal to have. So good luck if you get caught with one.
Ybbobynot, do you still have yours?
yeah these are issued by dot and have a control number they also list where you are allowed to park and say something like not valid for on street parking other than location listed
Anyone!!!!!! Where r the safety stores in SI ? Also the dickie pants. Hunter green or olive green ? Thanks guys.
Hey... we on SI don't have safety stores... I found everything I needed at Home Depot
Also, I was told we, being on probation, should not wear the dickies for they are not official uniform pants and we can get written up for it. I just wasn't taking any chance for something so small so I only bought official uniform clothing.
186* starting cdl training tomorrow. What are the chances of making the November class?
Since you are in cdl training tomorrow there is a good chance that you will be in the november class. Why would they put you in cdl training if there wasnt a good chance for you to be in the november class. The city does a lot of things that dont make sense but i doubt it in this case.

There is no official uniform pants by brand, only by color.
Dickies come in 2 different shades of green. One shade is similar to what we wear so you are ok with them. Models usually has them and you can save 10%.
The other dickes are greener similar to our t-shirts and sweatshirts and have the reinforced knees and are looser fit. Those dickies you should not get since they are not official in color
Experienced SanMen… Will you please explain the difference between a section (loader) and a garage (driver)? What is the advantage/disadvantage of each?
unfortunately, that is something you will learn in time. it made no sense when it was mentioned at fbf and will be even more confusing when you actually see the board for the 1st time.
best person to ask is the supers clerk.

Garage(Driver)- Responsible for the truck, dumping of the truck on shift, can drive on any Route in the District based on his/ her seniority.
Section(Loader)- Responsible for the Route, tools( broom/ shovel). Bound to section you are assigned to and making the section based on your seniority & how many routes are being run on a given day.
Advantages/ disadvantages will vary person to person. Some people on the job don't prefer to drive, so being a loader is good. Some like to move about the district, so being a Driver helps. Hope this helps.
Hey guys question about the pants. I bought 2 pairs of dickies and one of the other brand, both suck! Anyone have any other brands that fit better? I know we need spruce green. Its not an easy color to find anywhere store or web. Any info would help!

The brookly bridge is on sale right now aswell... preference on driving has nothing to do with being a loader or driver. When i see you in district and im out of town as a driver im sure you will load the entire shift for me nabz...
