Your schedule

All fields required for an estimate. Pay is calculated per trip: a base rate for the base miles, plus a per-mile rate for miles beyond that, plus a lower per-mile rate past 25 miles.

Routes run every school day, Monday–Friday, you don't pick specific days. What you choose is how many routes you take, based on your availability and what's open in your district.

This range reflects a full school week (Monday–Friday) vs. a week with a school-calendar holiday or no-school day, and school holidays are not paid, since no routes run. Mileage is paid for each leg you drive: home→school and school→home.
⚠️ This is an estimate, not a guarantee Actual pay depends on the routes available in your area at the time you apply. Route A does not guarantee a specific income, number of routes, or schedule. Rate exceptions and unusual routes are handled case by case: contact our team for those situations. Figures shown are conservative estimates meant to give you a general idea, not a promise of earnings. This rate is not a reimbursement for gas or vehicle maintenance, as an independent contractor, those costs are your responsibility.
📍 Rates vary by school district Each school district sets its own per-mile rates, which is why pay can differ between markets even for similar routes. The amounts shown here are specific to your market's district.
