In most cases, tour and charter
coach operators are full-time employees of a bus
company, and may be part of a union. You will
generally work on a days-on/days-off schedule,
allowing for required rest between trips. You
will work a combination of days and nights, weekdays
and weekends. You will also be expected to work
on some statutory holidays. In many cases, a single
trip will last more than a week.
Benefits generally include medical, drug, and
dental plans for full-time employees; on-the-job
training; and uniform provision. Meals and overnight
accommodations are also covered when you are on
extended trips. Some progressive companies offer
additional benefits, like travel passes for family
members and fitness memberships for their operators.
