    Calling this a scam is misleading and unfair to drivers who are just trying to provide for their families. If school districts need more drivers then they need to set competitive wages to attract new drivers.

      The district should be honest about the job and let current and past driver comment on the job

    I bet you the administration that’s setting these lower wages wouldn’t drive them unruly kids around for such low pay.

    I did the exact thing... Took training, got my license and moved on right after I passed my test. Now I'm making the most money I've ever made.

    Current bus driver and not happy with the pay, admin changes your hours as they please, you don’t have steady hours, kids don’t get disciplined, you mean nothing

    Nobody has your back, kids are horrible, disrespectful, the parents are horrible and the admin at some of these schools are the worst. This isn't a scam its people who want to come home to their family without feeling like they're the villain or not doing their jobs right. Why not go for the better pay and a peace of mind?! You guys are rude for calling this a scam in the beginning. It's humans doing what's best for them and their well being. I'm sure those higher ups in their office not getting on busses driving bad kids around

    most school bus company send drivers home without pay and they find other jobs and never return

    Yep I’ve seen it happen at my district as soon as a candidate received their CDL with school bus and passengers endorsement they bounce. They pay for the items total cost 45 bucks but the training cost thousands.

    I drive school buses for a few months, the annual pay was a whopping 17k, now I drive coach buses which requires the same amount of licensing (technically, even less because you don’t have to have a school bus endorsement) and make around $60k. It’s no wonder you can’t keep school bus drivers 😂.

    The school bus driver is under low poor salary $19k for homeless, retired police/fireman/teacher/veteran military and employees have 2nd job.

    But you’d never see a news agency investigating how many 6 figure administrator jobs these school systems have. Because those are of dire importance.
    Maybe eliminate some of that part of your budget, then maybe you could pay bus drivers a competitive wage.
    But then again, why bother fixing a broken bureaucracy ? Us taxpayers can just pay more and bail them out from their inefficient practices.

    The CDL regulations are rediculous. It's impossible to obey them all. Some are even dangerous causing the driver to take their eyes off the road, wanting them to constantly look at the mirrors, the gauges. So much responsibility for so little pay. The pre trip inspection they want you to do is rediculous also. Bus drivers are not mechanics. They don't want you to get a second job along with it because they want you to always be available for field trips. Some don't want to do anything to any kid that causes trouble on the bus like they would if that kid was causing trouble in the classroom.

    Easily making 6 figures? I highly doubt that.

      Why would they bother to get lost in details, when they can just scratch the surface enough to stir the outrage ?
