White guy about 5"6,black hair,wore sunglasses. Mean look on his face. Yes,you are allowed to wait for another examiner if you want.

We are in October now,so it shouldn't take long to get a road test appointment. Summer is the busiest time. What kind of bus driving job? school bus or coach bus?

Dug up Wannabe's cdl road test rant from June,lol:

i'm so pissed i failed my road test in maspeth today. the examiner was the most angry and miserable person i have ever met in my life, if anyone is taking there test in Maspeth and there examiner is a short white dude with gold chains around his neck and dark sunglasses with short dark hair and a 80's guido mullet just tell him you don't want to take the test with him and you would like to wait for the next examiner. there was six of us at the test site that had him as the examiner, all six of us failed within the first three minutes of the driving test, he failed me cause i didn't let the car that was about 60yrds down the block pass me before i made a right turn. i wanted to hit him over the head with the wheel chocks.

Default Union cards / member id

Has anyone from the August class received some sort of card or id from the union? I was wondering if they were going to mail anything out to us? I know that certain guys were already members of the teamsters and were exempt from dues as long as they presented their card.

Also has anyone filled a prescription and mailed it in to the union? I have a card filled out by both the pharmacist and myself but I do not know if I have to attach a receipt for the medicine.

All of your help is greatly appreciated.

I know 20 retired last month. I counted recently. As for the other months I dont know and I really dont think i can be posting that kind of information. But as the other poster said about 20 guys a month retire. Alot of them tend to retire in the spring. Esp after a good snow year. Cause they make their snow money and start thinking "man I made a butt load of money this winter!! Do i really want to stay here for another hot summer when i can just retire? Maybe it is time...."

you can go down both blocks there is garage doors on both sides of the building and there is a parking lot by the salt dome at the end of the block.
