    I don’t need it I already have a CDL but I think the farm should be exempt

    Farms are exempt from everything .

    until a few years ago in my state , agriculture was exempt from every regulation
    The DOT couldn’t even inspect their trucks
    Until log truck drivers with no CDL and with no brakes and started killing people frequently .

    Wow

    in my state the 320 hour community college CDL class is $1,600 and only rich people pay that . Nearly everyone gets it for free under some welfare handout program .

    I’d be recruiting school bus drivers ….
    I’m sure every school system will get their accreditation to train their own drivers soon if they haven’t all ready

    most schools are begging for bus drivers , and they offer medical insurance and retirement pension for the full timers .

    party bus sounds like weekends , and schools are closed weekends .

    Who would want to haul any of these kids nowadays?

    I remember our driver would do crap like slam the brakes if it got out of hand

    And a 4th grade teacher who would throw chalk erasers ( remember those? ) at any kid out of line

    Nope!!
    Can’t do that anymore

    Use to be cheaper from what I understand, but since new requirements they have a corner on the market.

    That’s why we sent our kids to a private school

    discipline is not an issue
    If the kid causes problems frequently , they simply get expelled .

    You can do the classroom training online. For buses there is a road training section you can't get around.
