What is weekend driving?

Weekend driving jobs are positions that involve transporting passengers or goods primarily during the weekends, often on a part-time or flexible basis. These roles include driving for ride-share services, delivery companies, or transporting goods for local businesses. Weekend driving jobs are ideal for people looking to earn extra income outside of their regular weekday commitments. Drivers typically need a valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and sometimes their own vehicle, depending on the employer.

What skills and qualifications are needed for weekend driving?

To thrive as a Weekend Driver, you typically need a valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and thorough knowledge of local traffic laws and routes. Familiarity with GPS navigation systems, ride-sharing or delivery apps, and basic vehicle maintenance are commonly required. Strong customer service skills, punctuality, and the ability to remain calm under pressure help drivers stand out. These skills ensure safe, efficient, and reliable transportation or delivery services, which are critical for customer satisfaction and professional success.

What are the typical work schedules and expectations for weekend driving?

Weekend driving roles often require flexibility, as shifts may start early in the morning or extend late into the evening, depending on demand. Drivers may be expected to handle higher passenger or delivery volumes during peak hours, such as Friday and Saturday nights. Communication with dispatchers or customers is key, and drivers should be prepared for variable traffic conditions. Regular vehicle checks and adherence to safety protocols are also important parts of the job. Team interaction varies, but drivers typically coordinate closely with support staff to ensure smooth operations.

About us

Coastline Academy is the largest and fastest growing driving school in the country. Since 2017 we've taught more than 250,000 students across seven states, backed by over 100,000 five-star reviews. We're on a mission to eradicate car crashes by teaching safe and confident drivers for life. We're people-first and technology-centric: online booking, digital lesson reports, transparent pricing, modern cars. 98% of our students rate their lesson five stars.

Become part of a team committed to creating safe, confident drivers for life.


About this role

You'll sit in the passenger seat of a Coastline car and teach people something they'll use every day for the rest of their lives. Most of your students are teenagers taking their first turn behind the wheel. Some are adults getting ready for a road test. All of them leave your car more capable than when they got in.

  • You teach in our car, not yours. Every Coastline vehicle is company-provided, clearly marked, fitted with a second instructor brake, and inspected by certified mechanics.
  • We pay for your certification. Our training team walks you through your state's driving instructor licensing requirements and provides the coursework. Training is paid.
  • Every lesson is recorded. Dashcams capture video and audio inside and outside the car for your safety and your student's.
  • Your schedule follows the students. Most of our students are in school, so demand concentrates in afternoons and weekends. A typical day is three two-hour lessons.


Your training 60 paid hours

  • 40 Hours Virtual Learning: Complete self-paced reading and interactive modules from home.
  • 20 Hours Hands-On Driving & Practical Mentorship: Shadow 10 hours live in-car lessons (five 2-hour lessons with students) and complete 10 hours of direct coaching with a Certified Trainer (two 5-hour sessions).


You'll never be conducting lessons alone in a car with a student until you're ready.


What you'll do

  • Teach the practical skills of driving, every aspect, from parking lots to freeway merges
  • Coach students on the rules of the road
  • Build confidence, not just competence
  • Take control of the vehicle when a situation calls for it
  • Document and report on each student's progress
  • Stay in close, timely communication with your supervisor and support team
  • Bring professionalism to every interaction with students and teammates
  • Show up for team meetings, updates, and ongoing development

Requirements

What you bring

  • A genuine passion for helping people learn
  • Patience. The ability to stay calm and steady while someone learns something hard
  • A strong safety mindset and sound judgment under pressure
  • Clear, direct communication and real coaching instinct
  • The focus to stay present for hours at a time
  • A valid driver's license in the state you want to work in
  • At least 5 years of licensed driving experience
  • High school diploma or GED equivalent
  • Ability to pass a background check, drug screen, and reference check. We're one of the only driving schools that runs independent background and drug screens on every employee


Physical Requirements

  • Sit for prolonged periods in a vehicle
  • See and hear clearly in all weather conditions
  • Bend, stoop, kneel, touch, and feel
  • Lift up to 25 pounds at times
