Shared units, studios and RV spots," offered in "various types and locations, based on availability." No pets and no meals are included. You must already hold a CDL Class B with passenger and air brake endorsements, pass a DOT physical, background check and drug and alcohol test, and be able to work 8 to 10 hour shifts including weekends and holidays. The agency encourages applying by October 9, 2026, and the posting stays open until filled. Applications go through Core Transit's own careers page, which links to its Paylocity applicant portal. Freshness evidence: the listing shows Posted Date September 24, 2026 on CoolWorks; the employer's careers page could not be read for an independent date because its Paylocity board is JavaScript-only, and Core Transit reposts this seasonal opening each winter, so treat the date as moderate rather than hard evidence.
