Bus Driver Trainee

: Parkway School District Transportation
07.2025 - 09.2025

I applied and was accepted to reacquire my CDL license though a vigorous training regimen that included all the written and skill tests required by the state of Missouri. After obtaining my CDL during my first few runs, stress related medical issues led to my dismissal from Parkway. I am under a doctor's care and believe that I would thrive driving in a school bus in a smaller school district, such as Affton. Also, Affton is much closer to my home witch would relieve me of the stress of fighting I-64 traffic four times a day.
