• Bus Drivers Needed!

    Join the Blue Jay Team as a Bus Driver!

    We are actively seeking full-time and part-time bus drivers to join our team! No prior experience is required—just a passion for working with students and a flexible schedule. If you're interested in learning more about the hours or the position, please contact Tony Blackwell, Transportation Director for Marshfield R-I Schools, at (417) 859-2120, extension 9027.

    Benefits of Joining Our Team:

    • The district will reimburse you for the costs of obtaining a Class B Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with P & S Endorsements, provided you use the CDL to work for us.
    • We offer comprehensive training at no cost to you, other than your time.
    • Training sessions are available on weekends or during school hours.
    • Having a CDL offers career flexibility and can improve your driving skills.

    How the Process Works:

    1. Study and Pass the Exam:
      Using the MO Commercial Driver License Manual, you’ll study and take a multiple-choice exam at the DMV in Marshfield. The Transportation Department will provide you with the manual and let you know which sections to focus on.

    2. Receive Your Learner's Permit:
      After passing the exam, you will be issued a learner’s permit.

    3. Complete Online Training:
      You will then complete an online curriculum provided by the school district.

    4. Bus Training:
      Practice bus backing and driving skills on the district's training lot. Once you master these, you will move to driving on public roads in and around Marshfield.

    5. Schedule Your CDL Exam:
      Once you and the instructor feel you are ready, we will schedule your exam at the Strafford DMV testing site. Upon passing, you will be issued a temporary CDL.

    6. Take a Physical:
      The district will cover the cost of your required physical. You’ll be issued a form to submit at the DMV.

    7. Obtain Your CDL:
      Submit your physical form and temporary CDL at the DMV. Your new CDL will be mailed to you later.

    8. Driving Record Check:
      At the DMV, you will also need to pay for a copy of your current driving record.
