Moore Public Schools raised the hourly rate of pay for its bus drivers to $17 and driver hopefuls can receive paid training as they work toward passing their Class B CDL License.
Drivers will work a minimum of six (6) hours per day or 181 days per year. Many drivers experience the benefits of working a split shift in which the hours are approximately from 6:15 to 9:15 a.m. and 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Drivers who are full-time have health benefits and the option of state-paid retirement.
During the training process, MPS provides study materials to prepare drivers to pass their written test. If passed, a CDL Permit is issued and drivers must then complete classroom training and behind-the-wheel training. After all exams are successfully passed, drivers earn their Class B CDL with (P)assenger and (S)chool Bus endorsements.
Some additional benefits are:
- 14 days of paid leave per school year
- Drivers receive year-around pay
- Drivers only work on days when school is in session
- Paid training
- Summers and weekends off
- Drivers are off during school holidays
- There is continuous training for MPS drivers
- Excellent work culture
