A Commercial Driver's License (CDL) is not required to apply. The company will provide training for those who need a CDL.
"Potential drivers must understand the importance of driving a school bus and make safety their core value. They must be able to pass the company's extensive background checks, drug and alcohol tests, and rigorous training program, which includes in-classroom, behind-the-wheel and safety training for new drivers," according to First Student.
