Introduction

Illini Shuttle operates between Champaign and Chicago Airports and Suburbs. We've been operating airport shuttle service since October, 2004.

Here's a short video showing an important part of the job: Typical Campus Pick-Up

We're growing, and we need you on our team!

Features

Driving for Illini Shuttle has several benefits over other driving jobs:

• Most of our work is done at a time when you're normally awake.
• Our trips start and end in Champaign, so you'll be home virtually every night.
• Our shuttles ride like cars, so you won't have to put your internal organs back where they belong at the end of a run - like you might after driving a truck.
• Our trips go to the same airports and suburban malls each week, so you're not always trying to find your way to an unfamiliar place.
• Our shuttles are clean and well-maintained.

Compensation & Benefits

We are currently hiring full-time Mini-Bus/Shuttle drivers. Choose from one of two compensation plans:

Salaried: You'll drive five trips to Chicago area each week, generally on a 4 days on/2 days off schedule. Trips average about 9-10 hours. Salary is $35,000/year. A monthy insurance allowance of $200 is provided.

Hourly: You'll drive five or six trips to Chicago area each week (you choose whether you are a five day driver or six day driver). You'll typically work the same days each week, and specific trip assignments are known about 3 days in advance. Wage is $14.00/hr initially and $14.50 after 10 months of excellent service. All time is straight time. A $200/month health insurance allowance (to pay for insurance you purchase) is provided for employee after 8 weeks of service.

Training is paid at minimum wage and takes about 40 hours. Health insurance begins after eight week probationary period.

Hourly and Salaried employees both get one week of paid vacation after one year of employment.

Drivers with strong communication skills who demonstrate enthusiasm, commitment, and who are safe and reliable may be invited to do additional non-driving work, such as supervising loadings, training new drivers, etc.
