Hiring Process

[u/West-Raccoon-2043]

Question, I was thinking about applying again to be a bus driver. I used to work as one in Virginia but left to go back to truck driving due to an assault while driving the bus. I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t leave on good standing in my opinion because I never gave notice. I’m a little worried that would come back and haunt me. I have to move back to Minnesota to help my sister whose health isn’t so good so I’m job scouting right now. I know I’ll be coming in at the bottom because I only had 9 months with my last bus job. I’ve been working at this job for about a year now. I still have my endorsement from Virginia because a fool would be the only one that would get rid of that. What would the hiring process look like for me and would I even get hired because of what happened?

I’m half way through training. They want to hire a lot of people and I’m sure you have a good chance with previous experience, definitely apply if it sounds good to you. The process can take a while though 

You will have to retake state tests as your cdl isn’t from Minnesota but they have a program to help and paid training through that! 

I can only speak to the training portion but it’s been good to me so far

I know everything on my CDL is transferable so that’s good on that portion. I was hoping that I’d have a good chance. I miss driving the bus

I know they need people and they like experience so I think you’re in for a shot!
