CDL Driver Instructor & Safety Trainer - Motorcoach

Starr Bus Charter & Tours is hiring a CDL Driving Instructor & Safety Trainer — $65K–$75K, Fairless Hills, PA. Train the next generation of professional motorcoach drivers at a 3rd-generation, family-owned company serving the Mid-Atlantic since 1947.

Starr Bus Charter & Tours has been family-owned since 1947. Our reputation for safe, reliable motorcoach service across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York comes down to one thing: our drivers. We’re looking for a CDL Instructor & Driver Safety Trainer to turn new hires into confident, professional motorcoach operators and keep our experienced drivers sharp.

You’ll lead classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training, run road evaluations and skills assessments, and coach drivers through refresher and corrective training when needed. If you’ve spent years behind the wheel and you’re the person newer drivers naturally turn to for advice, this is a chance to make that your full-time job. Teachers and corporate trainers who hold a CDL and have commercial driving experience are welcome too.

This is a full-time, year-round position, Monday through Friday [hours], with occasional early mornings, evenings, or weekends. You’ll report to [title].

WHO WILL THRIVE IN THIS ROLE

• Leads by example, on and off the road
