Alltown Bus Service | A Beacon Mobility Company
Serving Skokie and the Surrounding Community
Every Ride Matters. Every Driver Matters.

Looking for a rewarding job with excellent pay, a flexible schedule, and the opportunity to make a difference every day?

Alltown Bus Service is hiring School Bus Drivers in Skokie, Illinois.

And this isn't your typical part-time job.

School Bus Drivers Earn $25$35 Per Hour Based on Experience.

That's an exceptional earning opportunity for a part-time position and experienced professional drivers can bring valuable skills and experience to the Alltown team.

If you've never driven a school bus before, that's okay.

Paid CDL training is available for qualified applicants.

We'll provide the training and support you need to become a professional School Bus Driver.

You bring your reliability, responsibility, patience, and commitment to safety.

We'll help you learn the rest.

Whether you're an experienced commercial driver, a parent returning to the workforce, a retiree looking for meaningful part-time work, a military veteran, a college student, or simply someone looking for a better work-life balance, Alltown Bus Service may be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Why Drivers Choose Alltown Bus Service
  • $25$35 Per Hour Based on Experience
  • Paid CDL Training
  • Flexible Part-Time Schedule
  • Home Every Day
  • Meaningful Work
  • A Career With Purpose
  • More Than a Job...A Better Lifestyle
  • No CDL? We'll Help You Get One.

Imagine starting your workday knowing where you're going. You safely transport students to school. Then you have time for the rest of your life.

Maybe you're raising a family. Maybe you're working another job. Maybe you're retired and want to stay active. Maybe you're attending college. Maybe you're looking for a second career. Or maybe you're simply tired of working a job that takes over your entire day.

School bus driving can provide something increasingly difficult to find: Meaningful work and time for your life outside of work.

You'll know your routes. You'll get to know your students. You'll become a familiar and trusted face in the community. And when your route is finished, you're home.

One of the biggest misconceptions about becoming a School Bus Driver is that you need to already have a Commercial Driver's License. You don't.

Paid CDL training is available for qualified applicants. We'll help you learn the skills and safety procedures necessary to become a professional School Bus Driver.

You don't need years of commercial driving experience. You need a valid driver's license. A safe driving record. A commitment to safety. A willingness to learn. Patience and professionalism. A desire to make a difference. We'll help with the rest.

What You'll Do

Safely transport students to and from school and school-related activities. Follow established routes and schedules. Perform required pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections. Conduct required child safety checks. Maintain a clean, safe, and properly functioning school bus. Follow applicable transportation and safety requirements. Communicate professionally with students, parents, teachers, school administrators, and fellow employees. Maintain a safe, respectful environment on the bus. Report vehicle or safety concerns promptly. Represent Alltown Bus Service with professionalism, courtesy, and pride. Because Every Ride Matters.

What We're Looking For

You don't have to be a professional driver to join our team. We're looking for people who are:

  • Dependable
  • Safety-minded
  • Patient
  • Responsible
  • Professional
  • Friendly
  • Comfortable working with children
  • Able to follow established procedures
  • Committed to excellent service
  • Willing to learn

A valid driver's license and safe driving record are required.

Qualified applicants must be able to meet applicable CDL, physical, background check, drug screening, and other employment requirements.

CDL experience is preferred but not required. Paid CDL training is available for qualified applicants.

Why Experienced Drivers Should Take a Look

If you’re currently driving a bus, truck, shuttle, paratransit vehicle, delivery vehicle, or other commercial vehicle, you may already have many of the skills needed to succeed as a School Bus Driver.

And with earning potential of $25$35 per hour based on experience, Alltown Bus Service provides an opportunity to put those professional driving skills to work while enjoying a local school transportation schedule.

Instead of long-haul routes... You’re home every day. Instead of constantly changing destinations... You know your community. Instead of spending your entire day behind the wheel... You have time for the rest of your life. Instead of simply delivering a product... You’re helping deliver a future.

A Career Built Around Your Life

School bus driving can be an excellent fit for people who want meaningful employment without a traditional 40-hour workweek. Depending on your assigned route and school schedule, this opportunity may be ideal for:

  • Parents
  • Retirees
  • College students
  • Military spouses
  • Second-income households
  • Part-time workers
  • People transitioning careers
  • Anyone seeking a better work-life balance

You can earn meaningful income while still having time for the people and activities that matter most.

Safety Comes First

At Alltown Bus Service, safety isn’t simply a requirement. It’s our responsibility. Parents trust us with what matters most to them. That's why our drivers receive training and ongoing support designed to help them safely transport students every day. We take that responsibility seriously. Because every student deserves a safe ride to school. And every family deserves to know their child is in good hands.
