Landmark Bus

I enjoy driving the school bus and the responsibility of providing a safe environment for children going to school and coming home after school.

A typical day at work is examining my vehicle for safety and mechanical soundness and then ensuring that I am maintaining perfect attendance and being punctual everyday for my daily pickups and drop offs. This is extremely important for the obvious reasons that the children need to be at school before the bell and teaches them responsibility of being present and on time also.

I have learned that when you greet with a smile you usually get one back in return.

The management at Sinton are very professional and personable. They greet you by name and with over 400 drivers this is impressive and gives the feeling of being recognized.

My interaction with co-workers is limited since we are independent drivers. However, sometimes we have the opportunity to mingle in the company break room and at company events at different times of the year. We usually only know each other by our route numbers that we learn over the radio through dispatch.

The hardest part of the job is the low rate of pay and uncertainty of the amount of hours at the beginning of each year. We wait to see what route we are given and no opportunity to change unless we are aware of a route with more hours involved.

The most enjoyable part of this job is the driving of the bus, when I was younger I entertained the idea of driving a transport truck but life got in the way and I never was able to follow up on that dream.

Each and everyday has new experiences and challenges. The school children are all great and offer a fresh insight to everyday. Never boring.

I have learned so much as a Bus Operator. The care of so many lives I have on a bus a day, new responsibilities to my company, schools and parents. Safety, First Aid, defensive driving, 
diversity to deal with new situations on a daily basis . keeping driving schedules, and flexibility.

 Our management is superior to none, always there for us, keeping us on track, helping us when we run into difficult situations on the bus and driving. Have a great open door policy. Great team.

My co workers are pleasant, dependable and always ready to lend a hand.

The hardest part of the job is the challenge of the ever changing road conditions. For example Winter driving. Not knowing from day to day what to expect.

The most enjoyable thing about my job is the kids, young and teenager, their parents and teacher. The daily interaction is great.

At Sinton, I over came my fear to communicate with others, I established confidence on meeting new people and it felt great to know, to be trusted to drive the big yellow bus safely full of students everyday.
Winter was challenging to drive specially when we have a lot of snow.  With confidence and making sure the bus was circle check, I did not have a problem in the road, but winter was the hardest time of the year to  drive.
I really enjoy driving the students and going to trips.  Every year I met new student and visited new places.

I worked for Landmark in the Collingwood office, and really enjoyed my time there, they do in house training and I received my B license through them and shortly after obtained my Z license as well. The Cwood office does school bus and vans, and they also take care of the transit in Wasaga Beach, Clearview as well as Cwood... I am a bit of a over achiever so I was right into getting all the licenses and experience I could from them and I did. The office staff is amazing and helpful, it was sad for me to leave but I had to because of my elderly parents, I needed to move closer so that I could help out with their day to day living.

Sinton Landmark is a great company to work for.  It is ideal for those who wish to work part-time hours to supplement a family income, driving school buses.  There is thorough training with bus driving, first aid and everything needed to feel comfortable in this position. 
There is often also the opportunity to do charters, which can provide more hours working if wanted.

I have worked for Landmark for 3 years and can honestly say it is like a family. The manager is amazing always jumping in and helping when needed. The office staff are great. We get appreciation breakfasts and BBQ's. This year we get gift cards because we couldn't get together in person. Just all around thoughtful people, staff and company. The students I transport are amazing  and I look forward to coming to work each day. I am able to bring my child with me on the bus and can park at home. 

I really enjoyed working for Landmark. The staff and management were amazing. They guide you through every step. If you want a casual job, this is it. 

Drivers are to do a daily circle check of their vehicle. Then according to a route given by the board of education, drivers are to pick up children and take them to school, and at the end of the day pick them up after school and take them home. Management it would seem from one bus company to the next is all the same. They don't treat their drivers very well. The best part of the job was to have all the holidays and summers off.

I like working here. If there are issues with the bus, they are quick to get you another one or send out a rescue bus, if there are student issues, they are quick to help with that as well

The answer is simple! They do not care about their drivers. I worked here and know first hand they have no class, no ethics, no morals and will use you until there is nothing left to use and then boot with no severance or anything else for that matter for little or no reason real reason at all!

AND the pay is approx. $4.00 per hour less that other School Bus Operators.
