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 eat and drive

Asked by Dj about 7 years ago

Why do bus drivers get so cranky? Some being flat out nasty. While other drivers are always nice and rarely if ever raise their voice. Then other drivers have almost no interaction with students?

Asked by Randal about 7 years ago

Some people just aren't morning people, other people just don't like people. Sometimes these people are forced to get a job doing something they don't care to do. Personally, a job is what you make it.
