Our Drivers

The Guardian Bus Company only hires the best-trained drivers

We see the students we transport as our own, so we’re dedicated to recruiting and retaining only the best-trained drivers and matrons in the industry. There’s no greater responsibility than transporting the minds of our future, which is why we provide uncompromised care in staffing only those worthy of the task.

Our mantra is “Safety Makes Sense” and we never forget it!

Our extensive employee training programs and processes work to support our commitment to total safety. These core values are diligently carried out, from our drivers to our corporate managers. Examples of this include our:

  • Rigorous hiring process
  • Thorough employee background checks
  • Ongoing school bus safety training
  • Daily bus safety inspections and child check policies
  • Investment GPS technology
  • Preventive bus maintenance programs

Guardian fully understands the value of employing and retaining only the most qualified and accountable employees.

We treat our employees like family because that’s what they are to us. This includes competitive pay and benefits, along with a respectful and inclusive work environment. This is why the best-trained drivers in the business work for The Guardian Bus Company.

Our rigorous process of identifying and screening applicants ensures only the best are hired. This process consists of collecting extensive background information and structured personal interviews, which are conducted to filter out any less-than-excellent candidates.

We believe that recruiting qualified, responsible drivers is a critical element in providing parents with the safest possible form of student transportation. We strictly promote safe driving practices by recognizing accident-free driving, perfect attendance and workplace safety.

My daughter was just asking me the other day if she was riding the Guardian bus next year?, and the year after that?, and the year after that?! I told her as long as we had a Guardian bus, she would be riding it. I asked her why she was asking, not sure if it was a positive or negative in her mind and her response was, `I like to ride the Guardian bus with my friends’. There, you heard it!
