Drawn from the 3 open postings on this page. The ones that come up across several employers are near the top.
Why do you want to drive a school bus, and what does it mean to you to be trusted with kids every day?
What they are checking: Whether they understand the responsibility of transporting children and are motivated by more than the schedule.
No experience is needed, but you'll train for your CLP and CDL. How do you feel about studying and testing for a license?
What they are checking: Whether they will commit to the training and testing required to drive safely and legally.
A student keeps standing up and moving around while you're driving. What do you do?
What they are checking: Whether they put safety first and pull over or address it calmly instead of driving distracted.
Why do you think a pre-trip inspection matters, even on a bus you drove yesterday?
What they are checking: Whether they see inspections as real safety checks rather than paperwork to rush through.
It's snowing hard and the roads are slick on your morning route. How do you drive differently?
What they are checking: Whether they adjust speed, following distance, and stopping to weather conditions with children on board.
You get to the end of your route and do your post-trip walk. Why does that walk matter so much?
What they are checking: Whether they understand child checks prevent a student from being left alone on a parked bus.
A parent is upset at the bus stop because you arrived late. How do you handle it?
What they are checking: Whether they stay calm and polite with parents and report issues instead of arguing at the stop.
This job has split shifts in the morning and afternoon. How will that fit into your day?
What they are checking: Whether they can reliably show up for both routes, since kids depend on consistent service.
