Information On School Bus Driver Jobs?

Every day of the school year, thousands of buses head out each morning and afternoon to deliver their precious cargo of children to the various schools across the nation. The drivers of these buses are usually in high demand by school systems, and thus paid well. In addition, many school systems try to lure in potential drivers by offering them full benefits, even when they only have to work a part-time schedule. Additionally, in some areas where the demand for school drivers is particularly high, school districts will even allow drivers to bring their own children on the bus runs so that the driver doesn’t have to worry about babysitting costs while working. According to the United States Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics the national mean hourly salary in May of 2009 for a school bus driver was $13.49 per hour, with the highest mean hourly salary of $21.01 being paid in Salinas, California. The study also revealed that over 450,000 school bus drivers were employed in the United States. School bus driving hours vary and the flexibility to work more or less hours is very attractive to many potential drivers. Some school bus drivers only work morning and afternoon runs to bring and take home children from schools. Other drivers will work full-time schedules by providing transportation for field trips, after school activities, or evening high school games, and other such activities. A person who is interested in becoming a school bus driver should check the classified section of his local newspaper for bus driver openings or with the school districts themselves. Since potential school bus drivers will be working with children, they will need to be able to pass a background check. They should also have a clean driving record. The school system will usually offer on-the-job training, which will include everything from learning how to drive the bus, to handling student behavior, to learning how to do pre-trip safety checks on the vehicles. Depending on the locality, the driver will probably have to obtain a special driver’s license. For instance, in Arizona, a school bus driver needs to obtain a Class A or B license.

Do you go to a drivers test on a school bus?

Almost certainly not. The examiners do not provide a vehicle for you to take the test in; you have to bring your own, which means you either have to drive it there (assuming you have a permit allowing you to) or get someone else to drive it there for you (in which case you might as well get a ride from them as well). The only reasonable circumstance I can think of in which you might ride a school bus to a driver's test is if you were using your parent's (or a friend's) car, and they needed it during the day but were meeting you at the license office after school, and your school allowed you to ride the school bus to somewhere other than your home.

How to Become a Bus or Commercial Vehicle Driver?

Bus drivers, whether driving a school bus or working for a local or national transit company, or drivers of vehicles that transport a lot of people, are heavy vehicles or carry hazardous materials, are required to have a special Commercial Drivers License (CDL) (taxi drivers or limo drivers need a chauffeur’s license). Each state has its own requirements for obtaining a CDL; you can see the requirements for specific states here. Most employers will expect their drivers to have a high school diploma or GED. In general terms, in order to qualify for a CDL, you must:be 18 or olderhave a clean driving recordhave a valid medical certificate (renewed every two years) stating that you are fit to drivepass a written testpass a road testpass a skills testpass a drug testIf you’re driving a school bus, in additional to the abilities and aptitudes of a transit bus driver, it’s extremely helpful to genuine like children, and have an aptitude for dealing with them.Some states offer commercial vehicle and/ or bus driving training via the state DMV; other states require you to pass certified training at a state-approved school.

Transit agencies often hire someone who already has a regular driver’s license and a clean record, then coordinate the training and obtaining a CDL as part of their employee hiring. Many states also require additional training for transit bus and school bus drivers.School bus drivers will also have to pass a criminal records check, and are often required to take additional safety education courses as well as pass first aid and CPR exams. Many states have a continuing education requirement for school bus drivers, and conduct regular safety inspections and observations of school bus drivers.Long-haul truck drivers and drivers of other heavy vehicles must also have a CDL. Employers typically require that drivers either earn a training certificate at a private truck-driving school or a program at a community college. These training programs combine class room and and road training and typically take 3 to 6 months, and are usually followed by several months of additional on-the-job training. Your local community college is a good place to start, but there are also programs offered by places like The Professional Truck Driving Institutethat offer professional training for truck drivers and lists schools with certifies truck driving courses.
