What you need to drive with RTP:
- At least 21 years old
- Have a Passenger class C license OR a CDL (CDL is not required)
- Be a safe driver who will pass background checks, a DOT physical and drug screening
- Be able to dedicate 24 hrs/week (three 8-hour shifts). Additional hours may be available.
Are other positions available?
If you’re excited at the idea of joining our team but feel that driving vans isn’t for you, you may be interested in our volunteer driving positions. Occasionally we may have other positions available, so be sure to follow us on Facebook to hear the latest and greatest!
Clients come first here. So many of them are grateful for what we do. They have no other way to get to their appointments or shopping.
Hi. I’m Dot. I’ve been with RTP for 27 years. It has been a great place to work. The bosses are compassionate. Everyone works well together. We do have extensive training, like CPR, safety training, defensive driving and many more sessions on various things. The drivers are a great bunch to work with and they help one another. As a driver, I’ve had clients from 2 months old to 98 years old! And it’s been a lot of fun. The clients are really cheerful and have wonderful stories to tell. The safety of our riders is the top priority for me. I’ve had a great career at RTP!”
