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.

What do you look like?

Asked by Andy about 6 years ago

A human.

What do you think of FFRF nut jobs who say public school bus drivers and even city transit can’t play sermons or religious music because of separation of church or state. Also, reports of school teachers and staff taking Bibles for this reason or andNot letting kids

Asked by Mike almost 6 years ago

Well given its a public school we have to be sensitive about the potential difficulty for kids having different religions. We also live in a snowflake society.

Should we sue if we are forced to wear masks and get wrote up for daring to speak out against it? Health conditions we don’t have to wear them. We barely get paid anything and are already tested horriblely they want to fire drivers or make them want

Asked by Sherry almost 6 years ago

I wouldn't sue but find other work

I also heard drivers have a five minute max time they can wait. Is that so and that seems like a long time. Why not just come back and circle or just leave their butt

Asked by Jon about 6 years ago

It depends on the district policy. I usually leave kids if they're late.

HAHAHA. Someone asked why buses drive so fast?! Their like the slowest on the roads slower then even semi trucks. Do they even drive over 40 miles per hour? Hell their don’t even usually go the speed limit. A better question is why do they go so slow

Asked by Ryab about 6 years ago

Buses generally are governed at a maximum speed of 60 to 65 mph. By federal law we cannot exceed 55 mph but most drivers will attempt to go the speed limit or at least keep with the flow of traffic.

Do you trust young drivers and aides (18-25) And what about drivers and aides 65+? What do you think?

Asked by Trevor about 6 years ago

Yes as long as they're properly trained and pass all the requirements.

Hello ma’m what do you think about MANDATING (not recommending or under certain conditions) masks in schools where social distancing can’t be bla bla bla. I personally don’t think it’s right but what do you think? Should schools even reopen?

Asked by Molleigh almost 6 years ago

Mandating is fine but the school district needs to acknowledge that enforcement of something like that can disrupt the education process.
