I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at First Student (Rockton, IL)
Interview
Received a phone call from this location’s hiring person. I had expressed interest in an online posting. This location is very short staffed. It has a union contract for drivers but pay is so low that the site must offer a bigger and bigger sign on bonus to get drivers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Very basic questions like can you tolerate complaining parents and rowdy kids?
Are you ok working in a union job?
They are desperate for drivers here as pay is low and turnover high.
They will do a phone interview first, and they will ask some question about why do you want to be a school bus driver and what is your advantages than other candidates.

No interview process, just sign up and pass the background drug and physical test, then fill out paperwork and start training which they’ll provide transportation for and multiple choice testing for your CDL
I applied online. I interviewed at First Student (Phoenix, AZ)
Interview
They are very short staffed right now, so as long as you meet the basic requirements you will be hired. I was not interviewed, I simply started the hiring process.
