School Bus Driver Job Description School bus drivers pick up students at stops along established routes and drop them off at school. They may also transport students and faculty to special events, such as field trips or sporting events. School bus drivers are typically employed Full-time during the school year, often working split shifts in the mornings and afternoons. They may fulfill other duties at the school in their extra time, taking on part-time work as janitors. Duties School bus drivers must be attentive to traffic and weather conditions while staying on schedule and ensuring the safety of passengers. They must ensure that their vehicles are operating properly each day by testing brakes, tires and other components. Drivers are also responsible for maintaining a safe environment within the bus by enforcing rules of conduct and responding to emergencies. They must keep track of the amount of fuel used, number of students transported and miles driven, which they typically report to supervisors each week. School Bus Driver Requirements Training School bus drivers are not required to hold college degrees; however, they typically must complete formal training programs to serve in the occupation. Training programs generally consist of both didactic and practical instruction. They learn basic federal and state rules and regulations, as well as clerical and customer service skills. Trainees also complete driving exercises, such as turning, parking and controlling the bus. They may practice driving routes under the supervision of qualified bus drivers.

Earning a CDL entails passage of knowledge and skills tests regulated by the federal government. Drivers may also be subject to background checks, physicals and random drug screenings. Endorsements Along with a CDL, school bus drivers are required to earn first a passenger endorsement and then a school bus endorsement. These endorsements, mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, can be obtained through a candidate's state licensing agency. Obtaining these endorsements entails passage of driving tests and written exams that cover applicable topics, such as loading and unloading children, emergency procedures and state and federal regulations.
