They got vey into list numbers in the September class because a lot of potential candidates did not yet have there CDL Therefore they were passed over for September 11. I was in the low 700's. And took my CDL training in 6/08 with DSNY. This last round of hiring was 350 people and they need around 800 lost numbers to fill those 350 spots. So it has kept with trend of just over a 2-1 ratio. If another 100 get hired figure they will get into the high 1700's low 1800's area. But everyone who wants this job. Make sure you have your CDL when they call. It may be your ticket to jumping the line.

I,m 36 years old I have been a class A driver for 15 years currently make over 1,500 a week take home.If I am called gonna be a hard choice,but I do want that pension and lifetime bennys,so that low pay for the first few years wont hurt that bad.And for others who do not have savings be frugel and car pool as much as you can,because toll and gas is gonna be a mother fffffffff.Good luck to everyone who is waiting on the list

you make 1500 a week take home? and you would consider leaving that for dsny? If I was making that I dont think I'd leave it. but then again I don't know your situation, how many hrs you work, if you're OTR or if you have any benefits but thats 78000 a year take home!

This current list in active until 2014 according to that shop steward so anyone in the low 2000's still has a good chance to get hired with 1.5years remaining.

I went on a dcas website and it said the list was extended to feb 2014 that makes it 2.5 years more.Who knows what #s it can reach,thats good news for people in the 2 and 3 thousands

I work 50hrs per.I work for a company out of Edison, and i live in tottenville S.I ten min away.no benefits no pention thats why i make that amount.The company leaves it up to you to secure your future,My good friend who has 9 years on made 112,000 this year he makes truck everyday and gets one of those easy sundays once a month.That sounds like good money also

Yea . Personally I would go with the sanitation . But just because I prefer a secure job with the benefits compared to a private company which isnt guarenteed with no benefits. but also depending on your expenses now. It is a pretty big pay cut! but in the long run its better. good luck. what number are you? im like in the high 2200s. I personally am in a union job now . the pay isnt great but its a flexible and easy job. So if I get called into sanitation I will try my best to juggle both jobs.
