On-site interview, then offer was made, I was asked to do a DOT Physical and Drug test. I had to wait to start until the next Bus Operator training class started (4 weeks), and they received the results from my tests. They also sent me onboarding paperwork to complete. This all took about 3 weeks and the HR lady stayed in contact with me the whole time.
