8185 Belvedere Ave, Sacramento, CA 95826 About the role SEC Transportation — North provides non-emergency transportation for adults with developmental disabilities in the Sacramento region. Our drivers get people to their day programs safely and on time. This is steady, route-based work with a consistent group of riders. You will see the same passengers each day, and they will know your name. The drivers who build long careers here are the ones who value that relationship. We are hiring 3-5 experienced drivers now. Schedule — please read this part carefully This is a split shift, Monday through Friday. We'd rather tell you now than have you find out in week two: Morning route: start between 6:30-7:00 AM, finish between 8:30-10:00 AM Midday break: unpaid, typically 2.5-4 hours — your time Afternoon route: start between 12:30-2:00 PM, finish between 3:30-6:00 PM Exact start and end times depend on your assigned route and stay consistent once you're placed. A split shift isn't for everyone. It works well for drivers who want their mornings and afternoons committed but their middays free — parents with school-age kids, students, semi-retired drivers, or anyone with a standing midday commitment. If you need eight straight hours, this isn't the right fit and we'd rather you know before you apply.
