**For faster consideration, be sure to fill out ALL information on your application completely and accurately, including:

  • Work history for the past 5 years with reasons why you left previous employers

  • Out-of-state DMV record if you have held a license outside of Oregon in the past 10 years

  • Ability to work any shift at any Portland area location in inclement weather. (Schedules are determined by seniority and new hires typically start on a graveyard shift and in inclement weather.)

    CDL Information:

    We encourage candidates who do not have a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to apply. Upon hire, you will need to obtain a commercial learner permit before your first day of work. When you start work, we will guide you through the entire paid training process to obtain your CDL.

    Why It Matters:

    A CDL permit is your permission to drive our fleet. You’ll need it to move buses around our yard or rescue stranded buses in the field.
