Applicants are urged to ride the train to Lindbergh Station across the street from the headquarters.
Potential drivers must be at least 21 years old, bring a resume with a valid email address and phone number, and have a valid CDL driver’s license or permit with passenger endorsement. Applicants must also bring a high school diploma, GED or higher degree.

Greenwood started her position July 3.
