School & student transport jobs
Driving kids: the premium screening niche.
Platforms and districts pay a premium for drivers who can pass fingerprint checks and show caregiving experience, because the supply of qualified drivers is small. Set schedules (school bell times) make it the most predictable gig in driving.

What to know
The screening IS the moat
Fingerprinting, caregiving history, stricter vehicle rules. Clearing it puts you in a small, better-paid pool.
Bell schedules = predictable income
Morning and afternoon windows, same routes, recurring families. Pairs perfectly with midday delivery.
Districts hire directly too
Beyond apps, school districts and NEMT brokers post W2 and contract routes — watch the listings here.
