I've been driving a school bus for the school district I live in since October of last year...coincidentally about the same time I got interested in driving OTR. It's worked out very well for me. The $$ aren't great but hey, I'm in Mississippi. I'm blessed in that the small (+/- $1000/month) income is adequate for me. I'm fully insured and can go to a free clinic at the high school in the neighboring city for minor issues. I'll be leaving this summer to begin life on the big highway but I do not regret for one second my decision to drive the big yeller.
Anyone with a CDL A or B who can get P/S endorsements and pass a background investigation can drive a school bus in many/most/all districts.
The kids can be a challenge but I've found that fairness, consistent enforcement of rules for behavior and a loving attitude can go a long way toward making the experience a good one.
If you're looking for options, either short-term or long-term, check it out!

Attention employers: We now require a valid DOT# for anyone wishing to post a driving position. If your job offer doesn't contain a DOT number, it will not get past moderation and will not appear in the forum. The other requirements in the sticky at the top of this section are still required as well. Thank you for understanding.
Driving a school bus: Not a bad option while you're waiting!
