Student Bus Driver Information Thank you for your interest in our job positions Transportation Services owns and operates 40 transit coaches and 13 smaller buses 363 days a year to provide in excess of 4 million rides. We offer service 22 hours per day in the Fall and Winter, and contract cab service for the balance of the 24-hour day. We primarily serve University student and staff populations by regular routes, but we also do a lot of charter work for departments like Athletics, Engineering, Biology and Events. Because driving a commercial vehicle is a safety-sensitive job, all new hires are required to pass a physical and drug screen. These tests are done at our expense through an outside clinic.
Drivers are also part of the pool for random drug tests that are ongoing throughout employment.
This job is one for which your off-duty behavior can directly affect your employment. Along those same lines, it is important that those we hire have good driving records. We will research Michigan drivers' records, but applicants from other states must provide their own driving record documents. This is most easily done by contacting your auto insurance agent in your home state. They can access the record and provide a copy usually at no cost to you.
