Technical Presentation
The interview process was very odd and not natural at all. The interviewer set a timer for questions and responses. I did not feel comfortable and felt there was no way to prepare for such an interview.

First, you submit your application online. Then, you need to bring your GED/Diploma and $25 for a background check to the Crittenden Drive location. After that, they'll set up an interview appointment for you. If your interview goes well (and you don't have anything concerning on your record), you're pretty much hired. The interviewer will send you back to the application room, where they'll give you the info needed to get your CDL permit. They also offer a free, unpaid training class to help you pass the computer test. Next, you'll go for your DOT physical, which they cover the cost for. Finally, you'll be scheduled for the training class to get your CDL license, which takes 15 days. Just keep a positive attitude, and everything should work out!

The hiring process is a bit long beginning with your regular application, fingerprinting, etc... This is followed by them calling you for an "interview". Everyone is essentially "hired" to come to the job training. The training class is great and JCPS gives you everything you need to pass the written exams. You will need to pass the States test, purchase a temporary learners permit to progress and be involved in the driver training which starts immediately when you begin training. Once you pass all of the written and driving tests (there are many!) don't think its over yet. Once you get your CDL B which gives you the legal right to drive the bus and take passengers they send you to a compoud near where you live. JCPS assigns you a training you "shadow" picking up/dropping off students and then you drive!
