How Can We Help?

Whether you are a school district or a charter school looking for a partner to help with your transportation needs, or someone who is looking for an opportunity to work for a company where you can make a difference in the lives of children every day - give us a call! Let’s see what we can do together.

  • Student transportation is a “split shift” schedule with morning and afternoon routes to get kids to and from school. The number of hours varies depending on the route. Drivers average 5-7 hours per day. We only transport students when schools are in session, so drivers have breaks during the year (Christmas, spring, and summer).

  • As a student transportation “contractor,” we offer higher hourly pay than many other jobs, but we do not provide healthcare benefits. Our drivers now qualify for unemployment benefits during breaks, and the ESST state program allows drivers to accrue hours that can be used for paid time off during the year. Any unused hours are paid out to the employee in early January.

  • Yes, we have a terrific training program that selects qualified candidates, helps them acquire the necessary permits, and then thoroughly trains the candidate on all aspects of conducting daily Pre-Trip Inspections, driving a school bus, and student management techniques for working with children.
