Look for a school that trains people for a CDL (Commercial Drivers License). However, if you can pass the written test on your own (study books available online for about $100), many school districts will train you (and pay while you are learning) so that you can pass the written portion of the test. By the way, you should be physically fit enough to be able to get under the bus for daily inspections. You will also need to pass a physical and should not be a diabetic on insulin.

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. In addition, many employers and school districts offer their own training. School districts and employers may also require additional, regular drug tests. 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.
