• • Great Benefits

Work life balance is an increasingly important factor when looking for a new job. Certain benefits offered by companies help the employee maintain this balance. School bus drivers can often take advantage of paid holidays and other benefits.

• • No Need for a Four-Year Degree

To launch your new career as a school bus driver, you don’t need to spend four years going back to college. School bus drivers instead have to go through a training program and obtain their CDL license. This type of program can usually be completed in about 8 weeks, a huge cost savings! Often day and evening training is available, and no prior bus driving experience is required to start.

• • Good Pay

A career driving a bus can earn you up to $44,000 per year. There are usually extra earning opportunities that can increase this amount. Many companies offer opportunities for picking up extra hours and the ability to receive employee benefits from the school. Bus drivers commonly take on other work within the school like substitute teaching to make extra income.

• • Affordable Training

School bus drivers are considered essential employees and their job is an important one. Many school districts will cover their drivers’ bus training programs to ensure their staff is well trained. A quality training program includes general driving practices and vehicle maintenance along with important safety rules and emergency procedures.
