Shuttle Driver

Shuttle Driver

We are seeking shuttle drivers to work overnights in Rochester, NY. We operate passenger vehicles which do not require a CDL - however, if you have a CDL you get paid extra and are encouraged to apply! Non-CDL drivers earn $21/hour to start. Applicants who already have a CDL (w/ P endorsement) earn $25/hour to start. VPA offers weekly payroll - get a check, direct deposit, or a pay card each week!

Currently, we are seeking drivers who can work part time 10:30pm-5:30am. These positions will operate 7 days, and we are seeking staff who are interested in working 2, 3, or 5 nights per week. Friday and Saturday nights will be needed. A FT role can be created with other hours if so desired.

The role involves using software similar to on-demand ride share services, but using a company-owned vehicle, so no wear and tear on your own! We are transporting students of a local college in a safe ride program.
