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 time does bus 13 arrive?

Asked by Jamie over 5 years ago

Some time between Monday through Friday.

Do you think being bus driver is easy money or a hard job?

Asked by Charotte over 5 years ago

Fairly easy overall. The hard part is dealing with the behavior issues.

My driver tells us about how he used to be in all these crash demolition derby’s that’s how he learned to drive a bus and he has photos all over the bus. Should I be worried? Uhh there’s some traffic JUMP where at school. Just ram some cars no biggie

Asked by Rylee about 5 years ago

Nah if he shows issues like being unsafe in actual driving then bring it to someone's attention.

My personal opinion is that this depends on the district. Places with little to no cases should open as normal, with some problems have normal with extra precautions, for bad areas implement staggered schedules, harder hit hybrid, and extreme online&

Asked by Mark over 5 years ago

Is reality TV here to stay?

Hi, so I hear all the time “my district (or company or both) has unreasonable expectations we have to meet that’s why we have no drivers because they fire them or everyone quits. I understand having high expectations. What is the fine line between high and unreasnable expetations?

Asked by Sam over 5 years ago

Most people don't want to do hard work. Or pass a drug test.

Are they doing this in your district too? Could I potentially win a suit? So, if a staff member refuses to force a child to wear a mask etc they get reprimanded and eventually fired if not immediately. I don’t think this is right.

Asked by Wade over 5 years ago

You don't think its right they fired the staff member? In many states they don't need a reason to fire a person.

One more ONE MORE i know you got a lot. Do some people ever use the free CDL training to then quit and find another job say trucking, city bus driving, coach driving, working for another district, etc?

Asked by I’m not pooping almost 5 years ago

Yes that happens all the time
