Think back to when you were in school. Do you remember your bus driver?
Maybe they greeted you with a smile every morning. Maybe they kept the bus calm with a firm but kind tone. Maybe they waited that extra moment at your stop when you were running late. Whatever it was, they made an impression—so much so that you still remember them today.
That’s the kind of impact a school bus driver can have. And that’s the kind of impact you can make by becoming a school bus driver with Lamers Bus Lines.
Whether you’re retired, semi-retired, a stay-at-home parent, or simply want a job that fits into your lifestyle, driving a school bus with Lamers offers meaningful work, flexible hours, and a chance to be a steady, positive influence in a child’s day.
1. Make a Difference Every Day
As a school bus driver, you’re more than just a driver—you’re a trusted presence in the lives of the students you transport. You’re the first smile they see in the morning and the last “have a good night” they hear in the afternoon. By getting kids to school safely, on time, and ready to learn, you’re playing an important role in their day and their future.
2. Flexible, Family-Friendly Hours
Driving a school bus works perfectly for people who want part-time hours with a consistent schedule. Routes typically run in the early morning and mid-afternoon, leaving your midday and evenings free. Many of our drivers use that time to pursue hobbies, care for family, or even work a second job.
3. No Experience? No Problem.
Lamers Bus Lines provides paid training for all new school bus drivers. Our expert trainers will help you get your CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) and walk you through every step so you’re confident behind the wheel. We’re looking for people with a good driving record and a positive attitude—you bring the people skills, we’ll teach the bus skills.
4. Competitive Pay and Bonuses
We know your time and commitment are valuable. That’s why Lamers offers competitive wages, and safety and attendance incentives. The more dependable you are, the more you can earn.
5. A Supportive, Local Team
At Lamers, you’re not just an employee number—you’re part of a team. Our company is family-owned, and we take pride in supporting our drivers with helpful dispatchers, maintenance teams, and managers who care. You’ll work with people who understand your community because they’re part of it, too.
6. Drive with Pride
Our buses are safe, well-maintained, and equipped with the tools you need to do your job well. And let’s be honest: there’s something special about driving that big yellow bus and knowing you’re trusted with something so important.
