Why you should be a Bus Driver

Why

Summers and holidays off (Paid for snow days)
Schedule is same as kids and grandkids (They grow up so fast)
Some scenic travel (we do live in a beautiful county)
Cruise around in a one of the coolest rides in town (That yellow is hard to beat)
Elite drop off spots (Can't get closer to the door, always first in line)
Be able to take your kids to school (Statistically you are 70 times safer on a school bus than in a car)
Extra work and income is available (field trips and athletic events, usually they let the driver in free)
Opportunity to serve the community (everybody waves usually with all fingers)
Help keep students safe everyday (Most highly regulated vehicle on the roads)
Build community connections (everybody loves a school bus)
Flexible Daily Schedules (outside of route times, ROMEO meals, doctors' appointments, and nap time)
Retirees can earn some extra income (Gotta have something to spend on grandkids, hot tubs and vacations)
Have a Driver Trainer on staff to help you get your license and keep it (Mrs. Popilek is amazing)
Mechanics on call for any bus issues (Great mechanics, faster than AAA)

What do I do? What do I get?

Routes are usually between 60 and 75 minutes (really wanted to say 6/7)
Passenger load usually between 40 and 70 students (Most buses can hold 74 to 90 passengers)
Pay dependent on years of experience usually between $85 and $95 a day (3 hrs a day $90 is $30 bucks an hour, not too bad)
Company Vehicle (School bus can be taken home if easier for a route)
Free Physical every year (DOT for license)
Great Co-Workers (You really should hear Derrick sing Wheels on the Bus)
