The family-owned and full-service transportation company rolls out expanded initiatives for interested drivers.
SOUTH FALLSBURG, N.Y. (July 26, 2018) – Rolling V Bus Corp., a Catskill Region-based school bus transportation company, recently launched an expanded recruitment effort for school bus drivers in preparation for the 2018-2019 academic year.
Since 2016, school bus operators nationwide have been experiencing a shortage of drivers, leading to decreased bus routes in a school district and increased frustrations among resident parents.

In addition to providing fair pay, holiday pay, benefits and retirement programs, Rolling V recently expanded its employee initiatives to include:
- English language training program: A training program offered in conjunction with Sullivan County BOCES to assist people with understanding and communicating in English, with the goal of being employed by Rolling V.
