    1. Shifts range from 5-8hrs. Some drivers also choose to do double shifts for additional hours. Please go to the OPPORTUNITIES tab, scroll down to "Shuttle Drivers" and click the button for scheduling to view all available shifts and times. If you want to request overlapping shifts on the same day, please email shuttles@thememorialtournament.com with your request, as the system will not let you register for these. Committee Chairs can make the changes for you. 

Are breaks allowed during driving shifts?

Yes.  These will be coordinated with the supervisors on duty.  Do not leave without permission as shuttles are always operating.  Meal and restroom breaks will be rotated through all the shuttles over the course of the shift.

What is the uniform policy?

  • A White T-Shirt with the Memorial Tournament Logo will be provided (A polo does not need to be purchased unless you are volunteering for another committee that requires it).
  • Men may wear khaki (tan) long pants and closed toe shoes. 
  • Ladies may wear khaki (tan) slacks, capri pants, shorts, or skorts and closed toe shoes.  Shorts and skorts must be walking length or just above the knee.
  • Hats and visors should have the current, presented by Workday logo or no logo. 
  • Jackets must have the current, presented by Workday logo or no logo.
  • Remember, only uniform pieces with the current logo should be worn during your volunteer shifts.

 

 

Do shuttle drivers earn an hourly wage?

Yes! After registering at https://volunteers.thememorialtournament.com/ , you must “apply” online at mvgc.org to get on file for payroll.

  • Scroll down and click on "CAREERS".
  • Click on "Job Openings"
  • Select Shuttle Drivers and follow the instructions until application is completed.
  • Not completing this step will delay payment being sent.
  • You will clock in and out of each shift. Timesheets will be verified before being submitted for final approval.

How do I donate my wage to an organization of my choice?

  • When you register and create your profile at https://volunteers.thememorialtournament.com/ , please make sure to select “shuttle driver” as your volunteer type so you get on the appropriate committee list.
  • As you complete your online profile, you have the option to select an organization listed under “Please track my hours towards the following organization”. If one you wish to donate to is not listed, please contact the administrators at shuttles@thememorialtournament.com to get it added to the list.
  • A check will be sent to your organization following tournament week. A W9 MUST be submitted for your organization of choice (only one needs to be submitted if multiple people are from the same organization).

How do we check in on the day we work?  Where do we receive keys to the van on the day we work?

Shuttle Drivers check in at the shuttle headquarters located in the RV Lot off of Crossgate Drive. Look for the office trailer labeled "Shuttle Headquarters".  A shuttle supervisor will be there to check you in.  

How will I know the route I am driving? Are directions provided?

You will be assigned to a route by your supervisor for each shift you drive. A map book with directions is provided in each shuttle vehicle, as well as on the volunteer registration portal under volunteer resources, shuttle drivers. While you are assigned to one route, occasionally, you may be asked to assist on another route based on volume needs.

Is there a minimum age to drive a shuttle van?

Yes. All shuttle drivers must be a minimum of 25 years of age with a valid drivers license. No Junior Volunteers or anyone younger than 25,  even with a valid license, will be allowed to drive a van. This is treated similarly to renting a car.

What information is needed for a shuttle driver being paid vs donating their earnings to an organization of their choice?

All shuttle drivers, regardless of how payment is being handled, need to have an up-to-date license (clean record) on file along with a signed waiver. Waivers can be found under volunteer resources, shuttle drivers on the registration portal. Both documents can be sent via email to shuttles@thememorialtournament.com. Copies of driver's licenses can be made at credential distribution ( Date TBD) if that is preferred. Additional information needed for paid shuttle drivers includes "applying" online at mvgc.org (instructions under volunteer resources, shuttle drivers). You will be contacted to provided your Social Security number over the phone or copies can be made at credential distribution. Additional information for drivers donating their pay to an organization of their choice includes having 1 W9 on file per group. To ensure payment is sent to the correct individual or organization, please make sure your online profile under Please track my hours towards the following organization reflects where you want payment to go (Hired for directly paid drivers or the organization you choose). If you wish to send payment to an organization not listed, please contact the committee chairs at shuttles@thememorialtournament.com
