Current Events > Anyone here a bus driver or former bus driver? What's the job like?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What was the process of getting the job? Is it hard to learn everything including getting the liscense to drive a bus and also the routes? Any other info would be helpful

School bus driver here.

I went to a job fair that my company was putting on. Handed in a resume, they liked it, asked me for a proper interview.

Brought in my driving record, expanded on my work in automotive and customer service, they said cool, you're hired.

Provided all my training, and testing.

Learning the routes can be hard or difficult depending on how well you can remember your city. I got horribly lost my first day at work, but the next day and since then, I haven't had any problems that were inside my control to deal with.

Did they reassign you cause of the schools being closed?

My routes have been modified this year and we have hard limits on student counts.

A lot more parents are driving their kids to school now
