Cache County School District, anchored by Logan, is the ninth-largest district in Utah, with about 20,286 students across 25 schools. More than 12,000 of them ride a bus every day on a fleet of 150 buses, driven by roughly 153 drivers out of a Transportation Department of about 200 staff. The department also buses Logan City School District students. Turnover keeps hiring steady: the district brought on 34 new drivers in the year to, replacing 34 departures.
Cache County hires School Bus Drivers without a CDL. Its hiring page says new drivers must obtain or possess a Class B CDL and that assistance can be provided, and the department trains from zero. The district has not published the training length or whether trainee hours are paid, so confirm that before you plan around it. Drivers work a fixed split shift of about 6 hours a day. This page covers the process, the pay scale, and what to ask.

How to become a School Bus Driver in Cache County
The path in order. The guide expands every step with the exact forms, links, and figures for Cache County School District.
Confirm you meet Utah's age and driving-record standard
Utah law sets 21 as the minimum age to drive any School Bus, older than the CDL's own minimum of 18. There is no state years-of-experience rule, but the driving-record standard is strict: no more than two moving violations or two accidents, or a combination of the two, in the past 24 months. A high school diploma or GED is preferred.
Apply through the hiring page or Red Rover
Start at the Transportation hiring page on ccsdut.org and submit the application form, or apply through the district's Red Rover board at jobs.redroverk12.com/org/CCSD. You can also apply in person at 1500 North 800 West in Logan. Search for "Bus Driver" and certify your driving and employment history accurately.
Interview with Transportation
Call (435) 792-7640 for hiring questions, or reach the district Bus Trainer at (435) 792-7626. Confirm the shift, which the hiring page lists as 6:00-9:30 a.m. and 2:00-4:30 p.m., and ask the questions the district has not published: the current hourly rate, whether trainee time is paid, and the next training class start.
Clear the screenings after your offer
After a conditional offer you complete a nationwide fingerprint-based criminal check through the FBI and the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification, with ongoing monitoring afterward. The hiring page also requires a federal background check including the FMCSA Clearinghouse and a pre-employment drug and alcohol test, plus a DOT physical and the annual Physical Assessment Test that the Utah State Board of Education recommends. Ask who pays.
Earn your Class B CDL and Utah School Bus Driver Certification
Cache County trains from zero and provides CDL assistance. You need the Class B with Passenger and School Bus endorsements, plus Utah's own School Bus Driver Certification. Entry training includes federal entry-level driver training and ends with Class B, School Bus, and Passenger certificates. Training length and trainee pay are not published, so get those answers before you commit.
Start your route and keep your certification current
New drivers ride routes with trainers until they know their assignment, then drive solo. Utah certification requires 10 continuing-education credits every year and recertification every five years with 50 credits. Activity and field trips pay $28.00 per hour as an extra-trip rate, separate from route pay.

Cache County School District bus driver questions
Do I need a CDL to apply to drive for Cache County School District?
No. The district's hiring page says new drivers must obtain or possess a Class B CDL and that assistance can be provided, and the Transportation Department trains from zero. You still need the Class B with Passenger and School Bus endorsements and Utah's School Bus Driver Certification before you transport students. Ask Transportation at (435) 792-7640 about training length and trainee pay.
How much do Cache County School Bus Drivers make?
Drivers are paid on Lane 10 of the classified wage schedule, which runs from $22.15 per hour at step 1 to $33.26 at step 10 in the latest published schedule (FY2023-24). Pay has moved since then, so confirm the current figure with HR or Transportation. Extra activity trips pay $28.00 per hour. No sign-on, retention, or referral bonus is published.

The hiring page lists a fixed split shift of 6:00-9:30 a.m. and 2:00-4:30 p.m., about 6 hours a day, on a 9-month, roughly 180-day school-year calendar. Summers, holidays, and school breaks are off, and there are no weekends or late-night shifts on regular routes. Benefits eligibility for split-shift drivers is not confirmed, so ask HR before you assume health coverage.
What's the free CDL study guide?
For a limited time, every district guide comes bundled with a free study guide for your state's CDL Passenger and School Bus endorsements — the two written tests you'll take. It covers exactly what's on those tests so you can pass the first time, at no extra cost.
