Storer-Transportation

Great place to work. The culture and co-workers are great! However, the wages are really bad here! Depending on what side of Storer you work at depends on your wages. I am not sure what Storer pays their drivers for the Google accounts but for the Apple accounts it's horrible. You will either need to have another part time job, or be retired receiving social security in order to make a living driving for Storer. On top of the low wages, you only drive 3 days a week Tuesday through Thursday. Sounds great right? However, you only recieve a paycheck every two weeks and if a holiday hits on any of thoughs 3 days you work, you lose a full day of wages which means you eat into your pay cycle! The buses are in good shape. Well maintained. The management are very nice and approachable. Turn over rate is very high for drivers. There one day, gone the next. This is because of their pay, and the length of time to recieve a low wage page check of 6 days every two weeks. Thoughs that stay is due in part because they have couples who drive for storer helping compensate the loss of wages on the days you don't work. You will need a SPAB certificate which they will help you get, however it's a lot of regulation for such a horrible paying position. Other then this, it's a good place to work if the 3 days on and 4 days off is your thing and money isn't an issue!

My typical work day at Storer is leave the yard at 5:45am pick up all students take all of them to school, then go pick up others students after their dropped off at 8:00 am. Make students are being safe and not causing a threat to others or themselves. Get back to work at 9:15am. Have a break from 9:15am to 1:15pm. Take a different set of students pick them up from school and safely get them home. What I learned working at storer is every child is unpredictable these students need a little more direction and stability. They are just like every other child only they can act out in a unusual behavior over the slightest thing. The best thing to do is stay calm and maintain a positive attitude. The hardest part about my job is the split shift. I don't care for a split shift because I am more of a get the job done in one full shift kind of person. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing the students every day and communicating with them.

Work-life balance at Storer Transportation is great.  With the split shifts you have personal time to take care of business,  and weekends for family.

Overall
My experience working at Storer Transportation is great.  I love my coworkers.

Working with Special Needs people was the best. The other drivers were very supportive and helped often.  The owner flaunts his "toys".. ie -helicopter, while not allowing the drivers a decent wage.  The company has a contract with the county and the contract should specify the drivers get a better wage.  Radios & busses are used equipment and the radios are hard to understand and the busses have last minute issues which changes the driver's scheduling. Drivers have a lot of responsibilities, cleaning, maintaining bus & special equipment, safe driving, safety of passengers, meeting scheduling and dealing with family members/caretakers and the safety dept. 

This company leaves a lot to be desired. The training was good very thorough. You always have to be watching your back. Office management will stab you in the back any chance they get. They will lie about you. The mechanics will even lie about you. Anybody that gets the chance to will throw you under the bus. In their handbook they say they have the right to search your vehicle even when it's not on their property that's BS. At the Santa Clarita facility it's okay for management to be late but God forbid don't you be late. Always watch your back with management don't trust any of them. Management, trainers and mechanics make mistakes in order to cover their butts they blame stuff on drivers. Watch out for this company.

A typical day involved managing chaos due to lack of support from leadership. I learned resilience and problem-solving under pressure. Management was incompetent, fostering a toxic culture with favoritism and micromanagement. The hardest part was dealing with the persistent hostility and lack of resources. The most enjoyable part was collaborating with colleagues who shared a commitment to getting the job done despite the dysfunction.

Their hours and communication with people are really good like working for Store

The work environment is great and how they communicate with their employees

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Coming back in the morning shift and going back in the afternoon. It worked out perfect for me and I’d like those hours.

Working at Storer Transportation is a pleasure; for me, I really enjoy the clients.  Typically I wish for a easy day but in some cases that may not be possible depending on the mood of an individual.  My co-workers are great and we support each other whenever possible.  The hardest part of the job is not allowing yourself to get attached to a client simply because you may not be assigned to the same schools or clients' from year to year.  What I have learned is the different techniques for working with the Special Education Students varies, of course everyone's needs aren't the same.

This is a great company to work for as long as they are fully staffed which hasn’t been the case lately making  it a tense place to work for at times with ever changing routes, some (not all) grumpy bosses from having to cover bus routes... it’s a great “for now” job but there is little to no ability to grow here. However its so rewarding to be able to get to know the children and adults we transport, I've learned so much and am very grateful to have gotten this experience! It definitely opens your eyes to a whole new world and I’m so grateful to all bus drivers out there!!
