Transit Operator - Job Change - Advice needed

[TypeRNammer]

Community shuttle is a decent gig too at TransLink, top wage of $35.22 an hour

You start off as a casual though, so you don't get a seniority number until future bidding on the next schedule.

We also have depot clerk dispatch positions that pay $42 an hour top wage

A long time ago when I was managing sponsorship events for car dealers, we used to hire this company all the time (I forget what they were called) but they were a family-run small business. Basically, all they did was drive cars to and from dealerships and the port.

All you need is a fleet policy of transporter plates, a mini van to shuttle drivers around, and a bunch of retired people.

The hardest part is scheduling the drivers and the shuttles I imagine.

Food for thought if we win the lotto and can retire early.

There are transport businesses that hire retired people with class 1 to deliver semi trucks/RV/Buses all over north america. Too big to ship via rail I guess

42$/hr for dispatch is insane.

This chick i d̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ banged 12+ years ago, was making 18$/hr up north as dispatch. (Min wage was 9$ at the time i think), so she was rolling in money for someone fresh out of highschool.

It's a mix of administration and dispatch.

They are bus driver's first point of contact for general inquiries, booking off, checking work assignments.

Besides those things, they also take care of time keeping, logging incident reports from operators, do roll call for over time, assigning daily work for operators for the next day.

That's just off the top of my head
