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.
There are too many to list.
Having to see a kid go through hard times and not being able to do much about it.
Write them up and turn them into the administration. Generally i try to handle problems before they get out of control though.
I believe the federal law is 14 to 16 hours on the clock 8 hours mandatory off the clock. This is generally for truckers and other long haul drivers. School bus drivers don't usually have to adhere to that federal law.
Consider this. A trip might be 10 hours long but only involves 4 hours worth of drive time (drive there and back) the remaining 6 hours are the activity time for the group you took to the destination.
Radio program/music director
Do radio stations have to pay royalties to artists to play their songs?
Border Patrol Agent
Do you ever feel sorry for the illegals you catch trying to cross the border?
Movie Theater Employee
Why is movie theater food so overpriced?
No. Whether you can transport him or not should have no bearing on whether he is eligible for school bus transportation. We have many kids who ride mornings only or afternoons only.
A lot of learning. I had to think outside the box and then learn on a steep learning curve to manage students.
If yelling was a reason to lose a job, I'd have been fired a long time ago.
