Motorcoach Operator | Tour Bus Driver

You've earned your CDL. Now put it to work somewhere worth driving.

At Timi's Tours, our Motorcoach Operators don't just move people from point A to point B, they're the reason guests come back. You'll travel to premier destinations across the country, represent a company that's genuinely proud of its team, and do it all behind the wheel of a modern, well-maintained coach.

We're a small, family-owned operation, and that means you're never just a driver number. Management knows your name, dispatch has your back 24/7/365, and when you need time at home, we work with you to make it happen.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll operate luxury motorcoaches on a wide variety of runs, including:

Airport transfers and corporate travel

Day tours and multi-day excursions

Sports team transportation (collegiate, minor league, and high school)

Weddings, private charters, and special events

Every trip is different. That variety is part of what makes this job worth doing.

The Equipment

We operate a modern, late-model fleet; clean, safe, and well-maintained, every time. We take pride in what we put on the road, and we expect our operators to as well.

Our fleet:

• Full-size: Prevost H3-45, Prevost X3-45, and MCI J4500
• Mid-size: MCI J3500
• Mini-coach: Temsa TS30

Our average fleet age is 2.5 years. We maintain every unit at our own in-house shops, and when something goes wrong on the road, our maintenance team is available 24/7; including mobile road service trucks that come to you.

You won't be stranded, and you won't be handed keys to something you're embarrassed to pull up in.

Schedule & Availability

Full-Time operators typically work 3–4 days per week, with the opportunity to pick up more when you want it.

Part-Time operators have the flexibility to accept or decline trips with no penalty. Work when it fits your life.
