I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Montauk Bus (Manorville, NY) in June 2017
Interview
I filled out an application in the dispatch office. It was a basic application. They asked for a copy of my drivers license and that was it.
About a week later I received a call to come in for an in person interview with the Safety Department. I already had my Class B license so I was able to cut through a lot of stuff. I was given paperwork to get my fingerprints (background check) as well as my DOT physical (yes, you need to get another one beyond the one for your license). It didn't cost me anything and I was able to get it done within a few days.
About 2 weeks later I was given a summer school run and that was that. I now have a regular school year route and I couldn't be happier.

When you are hired and after your 19a physical, they tell your starting salary, the few perks and tell you what kind of health insurance you can buy. Then they give you a run/route which is a split day which make the day sometimes go into 6:00pm which is too late for some. They give you a company manual. They tell you what docter to go to for the physical

Question 1
Most of us were experienced so we knew the ropes but they always ask about the hours, like coming in at 6pm. They told you about the background and drug test.
