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 do when students trash your bus?

Asked by 56 about 7 years ago

Make them clean it up.

Can you really get fined by the FCC if you make unsolicited messages, cuss, or make weird noises on the CB. I know it can be a nuisance but I heard someone can be fined. Is that true?

Asked by Mrs. Crabtree almost 7 years ago

Honestly, I've never heard of that. We joke all the time on the radio and cut up and have a good time. Sometimes adding a little humor to the day is the only way we survive.

Whoops sorry I asked so many questions I did not think it went through

Asked by Kimberly over 6 years ago

That's okay!

Also, are you participating in the thing where they use school buses to help provide breakfast and lunches?

Asked by 02983457 about 6 years ago

Not at the moment. We are offering drive thru breakfast lunch services 2 days a week here but if this continues we will probably look at other options.

Can you eat and drive

Asked by Dj almost 7 years ago

Yes, though generally if I have to eat and drive I choose easy stuff like chicken nuggets or something that isn't messy and I can deal without having much on it.

What is so special about the back of the bus

Asked by Daniel almost 7 years ago

Nothing. Kids think its a privilege but we see everything that happens.

Do bus drivers ever have to stop at weight stations?

Asked by Ron almost 7 years ago

Generally no.
