School Bus Driver Trainee (Paid CDL Training) | No CDL Required | Earn While You Train

Launch a Career That Makes a Difference

Safe & Secure Transportation LLC is actively hiring motivated, dependable, and compassionate individuals to become professional School Bus Drivers. No CDL is required to apply.

If accepted into our training program, we pay 100% of the cost of obtaining your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), including the required Passenger (P) and School Bus (S) endorsements.

Why Join Safe & Secure Transportation? ✅ 100% Company-Paid CDL Training for qualified applicants ✅ Earn a Paycheck While You Train
; start immediately as a Bus Aide/Bus Attendant while completing your CDL training. You’ll gain valuable hands-on experience working with students and begin earning income from your first day. ✅ Guaranteed Career Path
Once you successfully obtain your CDL, you’ll transition into a School Bus Driver position with increased earnings and long-term career opportunities. ✅ Meaningful Work
Every day you’ll make a real difference by safely transporting students, including many with special needs, helping them begin and end each school day safely.

Who We’re Looking For We are building a team of professionals—not just filling positions.

We’re looking for individuals who are:

● Hardworking ● Compassionate ● Honest ● Ethical ● Reliable ● Professional ● Safety-focused ● Punctual ● Team-oriented

This position is ideal for applicants seeking a long-term career and who are available to work at least 30 hours per week, with many opportunities to work 40+ hours per week. If you’re simply looking for an occasional part-time job, this position probably isn’t the right fit.

Responsibilities As part of our paid training program, you will learn to: ● Successfully complete our CDL School Bus Driver Training Program ● Obtain your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with Passenger (P) and School Bus (S) endorsements ● Safely transport students to and from school and educational programs ● Learn assigned routes, schedules, and student pickup/drop-off procedures ● Perform required pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections ● Maintain a safe, positive, and professional environment on the bus ● Communicate effectively with parents, school personnel, dispatchers, and fellow team members ● Complete required transportation documentation accurately ● Follow all federal, state, and company safety regulations Weekly Classroom & Field Training is Mandatory

Minimum Qualifications ● Must be 21 years of age or older ● Valid New Jersey Driver’s License ● Clean driving record ● Ability to pass: ● Criminal background investigation ● Drug screening ● DOT physical examination ● Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) review ● Strong attendance and punctuality ● Excellent communication skills ● Ability to remain calm under pressure ● Commitment to providing exceptional customer service and student care

Previous experience working with children, education, healthcare, transportation, customer service, or caregiving is a plus—but not required. We will train the right candidate.

Why Safe & Secure Transportation? Safe & Secure Transportation LLC is one of Northern New Jersey’s trusted providers of specialized student transportation services. Every day, we safely transport students to schools throughout the region while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, safety, and compassion.

Our culture is built around three core principles:

Safety First. Integrity Always. People Matter. When you join our team, you’re joining a family that invests in your success through comprehensive training, supportive leadership, and opportunities for long-term career growth. We believe great drivers aren’t born—they’re developed. If you’re looking for a career where your work truly matters, we’d love to meet you.

Apply today and start getting paid while we help you earn your CDL and build a rewarding career in student transportation.

We look forward to welcoming you to the family!
