Good day -
It's a GHOST TOUR! We are Haunted San Diego Ghost Tours, and we are looking for a driver able to work nights with a CDL and a passenger endorsement. This is a fun job.
The Workload
This is a simple job for a tour company. You'll be driving a modified Chevy Eldorado Bus (seats 22). The host will be telling stories at the standy-line as you drive. 33% of the tour is driving, and the other 66% of the tour, you can enjoy downtime as you wait for the guest to do parts of the tour off the bus. Our drivers love the downtime; one plays games on their phone, another studies, and one even meditates. You can use it how you like as long as it is legal and you don't leave the bus unattended.
Hours, Pay, and Tips
You'll usually have a 7 pm and a 9 pm with occasional 11 pm tours on Friday/Saturday and rarely 5 pm tours. We may introduce day tours occasionally.
You'll get paid $70 per tour, which breaks down to $28 an hour or more for the average tour. A tour is 2.5 hours due to the setup of the bus and taking it back. However, the more tours you do, you gain an hour since you don't have to set up or take back the bus during those tours. For example, if you worked all three tours, you would be on from 6 pm until just after 1 am - which at $70 per tour (x3 = $210), you would average around $32.30 an hour.
You can and will get tips, sometimes excellent ones. Tips generally equal how personable you are with the guest. Tips don't always happen, but they definitely can and do. Our driver currently makes around $160 a week in tips.
Tips really can add up.
General Shift
A general shift looks something like this:
1. Go to the A-1 lot in Mission Valley and pick up the bus around 6 pm. Do your pre-trip (we have forms for you to work with).
2. Go to a little plaza in Old Town by 6:30. There you will meet the host and onboard the guest.
3. You'll then go from Old Town to Sherman Heights (Golden Hill) to downtown and then back to Old Town.
4. If there is a 9 pm tour, you return to the Old Town meeting location and repeat, same with if there is an 11 pm.
We are looking for people who have availability during the week and weekends. This is a fun job, and it is not a full-time job, a great source of supplemental income. We will work around your schedule (very flexible); you'll be driving in the evenings and at night.
Misc
You can choose to be a contractor (1099) or an employee, totally up to how you want to manage your taxes.
We love our employees and are very flexible. As long as you are available in the evening and night, we will work around your schedule and fit you in where you can fit. We operate year-round. During Summer and October, it will be all hands on deck so that you will be getting a lot of shifts then.
This is the perfect opportunity for a driver to have an additional source of good money while enjoying a relaxed job with some downtime.
If you are interested, please reply with your phone number and a good time to call you. To interview, you HAVE to have a CDL (Commercial, not Standard Driver's License) with a passenger endorsement when we talk to you.
We will start with a quick phone interview to make sure this is a job you'd like.
Appreciate it and you,
