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. Over the years, we've demonstrated to our customers that, to us, those aren't just words—they're the Durham difference.
