Profile: Durham School Services

Durham School Services is a full service student transportation provider, committed to getting students to school safe, on time, and ready to learn. Along with our sister company in Canada, Stock Transportation, we have teams of experts in every area of student transportation spread across North America. As a national company, we have a wealth of resources available to our customers, and still maintain an unmatched level of local support.

We provide customer focused transportation services including home-to-school, special needs, and field trip transportation, as well as summer and charter trips for districts and organizations across the United States. By partnering with Durham, school districts from the West Coast to the East have experienced increased service and cost efficiencies, safety and training excellence, and access to a wealth of national resources. We are available to discuss your transportation needs and can be reached through the channels listed on the contact us tab. 

At Durham School Services, our number one priority is the safety of the students we transport and work tirelessly to ensure the peace of mind of those who have entrusted their children to us. Safety, above all, is the cornerstone on which we build everything; we are dedicated to ensuring children arrive to school safely and on-time so they can make the most of their school day…every day. 

At Durham School Services, everything we do is graded on the performance of our front line—our drivers. We heavily invest resources in driver recruitment and training because good drivers are so hard to find.

We expect all drivers to meet stringent selection criteria, which includes drug testing, background checks and an extensive interview process. In fact, only one in five candidates is qualified to drive a Durham School Services route.

The search for the right drivers is paramount to our success because the best drivers = the safest kids. If you think you’ve got what it takes and are interested in the benefits listed below, contact us today!

CULTURE Durham School Services isn't just another bus company. There is a culture that permeates everything we do and how we do business. Our efforts are concentrated among those school districts that view their transportation contract as a partnership. And we know our employees are the key to our future, so we give them every opportunity to develop and utilize their strengths.

You can really tell the difference if you visit a Durham School Services Customer Service Center. You'll see how employees interact with one another, depend on each other as a team, and respect the experience each has to offer.

You'll see smiles and laughter, easygoing attitudes, and the strongest desire to care for your students—"their kids"—as if they were their own. This dedication can be seen in the way drivers give their time to the children, both as a bus driver and as a community volunteer…or by those selfless individuals who care for the special education children they serve year after year...or by the thousands of former school district employees who now work for Durham and tell us how much more they enjoy their jobs.

You'll see thorough attention to detail in every aspect of the job, from drivers who check the buses over just once more before beginning their routes to dispatchers who must make route adjustments at a moment's notice.

Safety...quality...teamwork...partnerships. You've heard all these words before. But over the last 50 years, we've demonstrated to our customers that, to us, those aren't just words—they're the Durham difference.
