Hutchinson School District Families,
It was truly a pleasure over the years transporting your kids to and from school each and every day. Unfortunately we were not awarded the contract and will no longer be providing the transportation for your families going forward.

Starting July 1st, if you have any busing questions or concerns please reach out to your school district and they will guide you in the right direction.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
Hutchinson Bus Line

Hutchinson School District Families, Students and Community Members,

The Hutchinson School District is currently working on a new transportation contract for the next five years. Hutchinson Bus Line, which has been your local school bus company for the past 12 years, has submitted a low-cost quote for the contract and we hope to be your bus company for many years to come. The Hicks family has been in the school bus industry for more than 75 years, in school districts including Litchfield, Hutchinson, Elk River, Rogers, Zimmerman, Big Lake and Buffalo and we have brought all that vast experience to you and the families in Hutchinson.

Your support for Hutch Bus is important to the entire Hutchinson Bus family including drivers, managers and staff who are your neighbors and friends. We hope that all of us at Hutch Bus can continue to provide uninterrupted transportation services to you and your families as we have since 2013, when the Linder family retired after two generations of school bus service.

To date, we are aware of four quotations from high-quality providers (including Hutch Bus) which have been received by the district and all were rejected for being over the school’s transportation budget. Of those four, Hutch Bus was only slightly over the school board’s budget figures and provided the lowest quote, with the others 10% to 40% higher. Our quote is based on 12 years of experience providing uninterrupted transportation services to Hutchinson families. If Hutch Bus is awarded the contract, you can be assured Hutchinson families will continue to experience safe and reliable transportation to and from school and extra-curricular activities.

The district school board, under advisement from their consultant, is now directly seeking lower-cost quotes from other transportation providers. The school board may be making a final decision at their next scheduled meeting April 2nd.

Thank you all for your past, present and future support! We are here to serve you, safely and efficiently. And a huge thank you to our outstanding school bus drivers, excellent managers and incredibly talented mechanics and support staff.

Drivers, if you’re considering a bus driving carrier, and you’re already a CDL holder, you’re most of the way to becoming a school bus driver!, Minnesota has now updated licensing requirements. CDL holders will no longer need to retake commercial driving tests already held by prospective applicants! Drivers with a CDL will only need to take the school bus & Passenger test to become fully licensed. If an applicant holds a CDL but does not have an air brake endorsement, the applicant will need to test for air brakes. Remember, all training is paid and provided by Hutchinson Bus Line.
Just stop on by or give us a call at 320-234-0888 and we will answer all your questions.
