(Free White Paper) The Driver Shortage Playbook

How student transportation fleets are hiring, retaining and adapting. (This content is brought to you by Zonar.)

Student transportation fleets have a new take on an age-old problem: driver shortages. Millions of CDL holders are out there, so filling seats isn’t as big of an issue as filling seats with safe, reliable drivers who meet performance expectations. Retaining them isn’t easy, either.

How can a school fleet navigate this new world of driver shortage and retention problems? As you read this Driver Shortage Playbook, you’ll learn why traditional school bus driver recruitment strategies are no longer effective and how today’s fleets are adapting.

  • Understand why financial incentives and fast hiring practices fail.
  • Find out why a focus on quality over quantity benefits you both.
  • Take away practical strategies for expanding your talent pool.
  • Why career pathing for school fleet drivers is so important.
  • And other ways to improve retention, safety, reliability and compliance.
