OH Pre Service Pre Trip Insp Thomas C2 Conventional ...... I did this by myself, unsteady in spots

Pre Service pre trip has not changed, you have to mention all of this for your certificate. CDL is where you would mention less than what I'm showing here. I have actually missed the axle seal on the drivers side rear.

Cool video on explaining how the pre-trip inspection works. I have big questions for you how to become a school bus driver in ohio also how does the training process work how long is the training for classroom training and behind the wheel training also how long is the background check process is. Do they pays for cdl Learners permit and cdl Learners and how many times can you take the test and if a person fail will they pay for it again? My second question is can people have options to work with instructor individually one on one training for example behind the will wheel and pre trip inspection how long does that last with training due to i remember I went to Driving School i had a amazing opportunity to work with instructor individually one on one a month later i end up passing on the first try getting my driver's license hopefully that will be the same thing with training on a school bus due to that definitely help me a lot with 101 training. Also how to find school bus District in Ohio area due to I can't even find any it's very hard but i heard their requirements is a little bit strict on people have to have their driver's license for at least 3 years but thank God i have a clean background record with no points on my license I wonder when is the best time to start to apply for school bus companies can it be in August or September or October? Hopefully you can answer all my questions I will definitely appreciate this for sure 👍

Hi!! First you have to aply to a district and go through the interview process. If they want to hire you, that district will set you up with the classroom portion (theory) which is 15 hours = 5 days, 3 hrs per day. They will also have their OBI (On Board/Bus Instructor) do your training .... BTW, Pre Trip and manueverability (Road & Range). The hands on training depends on you = how well you pick up on the pre trip, driving, pick ups and drop offs, RRs and maneuvers. It is typically 30 - 40 hours. You will need a background check, drug test and physical. The background check could take up to 30 days prior. The physical and drug test are set up by the district. Not all districts will pay for or reimburse for Background, permit, test or license, but some do. Check with the district that you are applying to. OBIs are assigned by the district and must be paid by that district. OBIs are not allowed to take payment from a trainee / student, therefore they must work or subcontract for that district. You may get one on one with an OBI, just depends on how many people apply. Try a Google searh for school districts in Ohio, there are over 700 ... I did a search and thats what I got as a result. Wikipedia and greatschools.org could be a good start. You can apply now, many OBIs will train though the Summer. There are also contractors such as Petermann and Community Bus that hire, train and employ drivers. Some districts use contractors and they would let you know if that was the case. I hope I've answered your questions, and if I may ask, where are you at in Ohio?
