Benefits and pay
Candidates who are hired as bus operators will receive a $4,000 signing bonus, paid training, including CDL training, and guidance through the permit process. Bus operator pay starts at $25.96 an hour and qualified candidates need to have a domestic driver’s license valid for at least two years.
