As a Motor Coach Driver for Progressive Travel, you will be entrusted with providing safe, reliable and comfortable transportation for passengers, ensuring timely arrivals and departures. This role requires professionalism, exceptional driving skills and a commitment to customer satisfaction. You’ll represent our company by maintaining a positive attitude and delivering top-notch service. With decades of experience in the passenger transportation industry, we know what it takes to be a great driver. If you value safety, have a positive outlook and are passionate about serving others, this could be the ideal opportunity for you!
Key Responsibilities:
Safe Driving: Safety is a top priority. Our exemplary safety record speaks for itself, and we only hire drivers committed to maintaining high safety standards.
Health & Fitness: You must pass a physical exam sanctioned by the state of Wisconsin and the U.S. Department of Transportation. Your health is critical for both your safety and the safety of your passengers. Additionally, you will be required to load and unload 50+ pieces of luggage quickly and may handle equipment trailers towed behind the coach.
Customer Service: A kind, caring and considerate attitude is essential. Drivers with a “servant attitude” typically have excellent driving records. If you possess these qualities, you already have what it takes to be an outstanding coach driver.
What we're looking for:
No Experience Necessary: We don’t require prior professional driving experience—we will train you! Using our “building blocks” methodology, you’ll advance step-by-step to become a skilled coach driver. You won’t be thrown into high-pressure situations before you’re fully prepared.
Training Provided: If you’ve never driven anything larger than your car, that’s okay! We’ll help you get your CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) and train you to handle a motor coach.
Experienced Drivers Welcome: If you’ve driven professionally before, adapting to our company culture will be straightforward. Even if you have a background in trucking, the motor coach industry presents unique challenges, like handling “freight” that talks back and sticking to a structured, tightly managed schedule. If you’re comfortable with a minute-by-minute itinerary, this role may be a great fit.
School Bus Drivers: If you have experience driving school buses, the motor coach industry could be your next career step. While both roles involve transporting passengers, coach driving includes long-distance travel, varied destinations, and an all-hours schedule. If you’re okay with being away for multiple days (and your family is too!), you’ll fit right in.
