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.

Can you see the E-mail and username of people asking questions or does it just show the screen name at the top like Raven?

Asked by Raven almost 7 years ago

It just shows me the name of the person who asked the question. It sends me an email notification saying someone asked a question. I don't see anymore than the question itself and the name you chose like in this case its Raven

Why does school have to start so early? I mean if they have to they could just end later, right?

Is it illegal for a bus driver to take a phone away all over a stupid ringer? If she is a sub and not even the regular driver and she hears it and take it away because it’s a distraction. She not wanting to miss the light but still gets up and took it

No not illegal.

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 about 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!

So okay there is this bus driver who only lets us sit triple as a last resort. I understand the safety concerns but thats not the weird part. She said its weird for two guys or two girls to have their butts touching.

Asked by Confused over 6 years ago

Some drivers have old fashioned rules but it doesn't mean that they are wrong. Generally though to avoid harassment or problems I will sit boys with boys and girls with girls.
