The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is making it easier for you to get a license to drive a school bus. The Wisconsin DOT will be implementing a temporary waiver that will no longer make it mandatory for drivers to test on the “under the hood” part of the test until March 31, 2022. Drivers that obtain their CDL through this waiver will only be eligible to drive school buses rather than being able to drive other large vehicles that require a CDL license. The DOT also sent out a recruitment letter to approximately 1,000 former drivers encouraging them to reinstate and look at opportunities in their area, citing that many school bus companies have started offering incentives, increased wages, and offered signing bonuses to help fix the shortage.
