-10 fails to keep right.

-10 poor judgement approaching intersection or curve.

-15 fails to yield right of way

-15 railroad tracks,poor observation

Reason for Disqualification : Dangerous Action

60 points deducted. Passing is no more than 50 points.
Speaking from experience.....I took the road test the other day.....I realize that all the things we peactice....Like air brakes, inspection, driving, turns, hazzards, school zones....It all is different on the test....I think maybe you should have passed Van...They should understand that they expect people to do everything by the book on the test...But people driving buses and trucks drive unsafely and dangerous all the time.....We're on the road with thousands of cars.....We have to interact with them....

Default CDL Class

I spoke to FBF and the cld classes is starting next week. I really dont know how they can be hiring more after what I read in the paper last week. They plan on laying off 609 san men, 3,872 cops, 500 firemen. The city needs money and I dont see another way of getting it. I was told the city has a hire to fire plan. They hire a new class just to lay them off. I dont know how true this is but I think it sucks. Many people quite jobs to take this job.
I hope that there are no layoffs since I just started in 06 and might be part of the layoff. Does anyone know if city time from other agencies count when they do layoffs. I know if you worked for police, fire, or mta that counts but what about other agencies. Thanks.

I heard classes were starting April 28th...I can't see them starting next week when orientation is running throughout the next few weeks.....As far as layoffs, I hope it's not true for you, and for some of us waiting to get hired....

Lets hope congestion pricing gets defeated by the state legislature next Monday,April 7th.

I hope I am wrong and they do hire another couple of classes. Also hope you come to my district, I want more people to have below. Being able to choose your shift is very important, also being able to make truck is very important too.
