Are you able to pass a full background check, including criminal history and drug screening?

Due to the nature of the work, most bus driver positions require rigorous background checks. These checks include criminal, drug, driving, and sometimes even alcohol testing. Assure the hiring authority that you are willing to take any test required, and that you will pass these tests with flying colors. If you believe that there will be an issue with any of these tests or background checks, it is up to you to be completely transparent and honest.

"I am willing to take any test that you require of me to be eligible for this bus driver position. I will disclose that I have a misdemeanor charge from five years ago; however, the charges will not impact my work or the level of responsibility that I bring to this job."
