The Bus Driver
15 Years Experience
South, ..
Female, 37
I have been a bus driver since late 2006. I know the inside story, the scoop, the down low dirt of what it takes to be a bus driver, how to handle kids and adults, and how to survive on the "streets" so to speak. I used to have a blog, feel free to browse it or ask me a question here.
Highschool diploma and cdl certification is standard. Anything else is bonus and more than welcome.
Share Answer: 
No, thank goodness, though I have been involved in a few fender benders. Minor incidents, minimal damage.
Share Answer: 
It depends on the district. Most districts have rules about when and how early to pick up students.
Share Answer: 
Equivalent is experience. Most bus driving jobs and jobs today in general require a minimum of a highschool diploma. This should be industry standard across the board.

What's the most creative way you saw cartels getting drugs across the border?
No killing each other, no bloodshed, respect each other, quiet at railroad crossings, no screaming unless you're bleeding, injured, or dying. Keep the noise level at a respectable level. Other than that I'm flexible.
Share Answer: 
Truthfully.... next school year.
Share Answer: 
Yes. They should complain to the district and the bus barn. The driver is not at fault because of the way the district is forcing the overcrowding issues and refusal to accommodate time schedules at the schools. It also doesn't help when parents yell at the driver too. Take it higher and the driver might actually get some relief on the overcrowding.
