CDL School Bus Driver

Job Description

Drivers are the most important employees in our company. Without them, we would not have a service to provide. They are more than “just a driver”; they transport our future generations to and from school with a positive attitude, a cheerful greeting, and respect – all while maintaining a safe and timely bus ride. Each driver is a part of the family we’ve created and view each day as another opportunity to serve the community.

Confidentiality is a serious matter which includes child and family privacy. Drivers must understand the importance of respecting privacy for students and their families.

Interior cleanliness of the bus is a driver’s responsibility. A regular standard is the bus swept and/or dust mopped daily, and garbage dumped after each a.m. route.

Fueling the vehicle is required at locations using authorized card locks or bulk fuel systems.

Daily attendance for assigned daily duties is required.

Driver is responsible to be knowledgeable of the rules and regulations to maintain qualified school bus driver’s license in Pennsylvania.
