Job Description
We are service providers for Everdriven, a company that provides transportation for kids with special needs.
We have contracts with different school districts and they send us the kids that need the service and we hire drivers to service the routes.
Our drivers, using their own cars, pick up the kids at their homes and drive them to school in the morning and then back home in the afternoon.
To start the process, the only thing the school districts require are:
1. Pennsylvania Driver licence;
2. SSN;
3. A vehicle. Any car is ok, vans are not needed as most of the routes have only one kid.
Then, there is a vetting process that includes a drug test, online courses, fingerprinting, background check, physical exam and motor vehicle records;
As soon as the candidates finish their vetting processes, they become eligible and can take any route that is offered.
The minimum payment in the Pittsburgh area is $38.51 or $40.06 per trip (some school districts in this area have a higher minimum rate). So if a driver has only one route, he makes around $80 a day driving around half-an-hour a day; if the driver wants a second route, he makes around $160 a day; if he has three routes, around $240.
Routes in Pittsburgh take 15-20 minutes on average. So having one route, means driving for around 30-40 minutes a day.
This minimum rate covers any routes from 1 to 12 miles. If you are assigned a longer route (that means more than 12 miles), the district pays you for the extra miles. Some districts pay the minimum rate up to the 16th mile.
We pay every Friday through ADP. Eligible drivers download an app where they have all the information needed: name of the kid, schedule, addresses, and etc.
Drivers have permanent routes. When they choose a route, this route is assigned to them until at least the end of the school year whichs means from Monday through Friday you would be driving the same kid with the same schedule.
