Female, 37

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.

Thanks for answering. I want to make it clear I just wanted a opinion and am not trying to convince or argue anything. But I would put the fairness on which trip is longer. Thanks again.

That's a good idea actually. Sadly, coaches do not see it this way and neither do the bureaucrats in the school board offices. They do what they want to do.

The little image in the middle of the first question. Is that you?

Asked by Zz over 6 years ago

Asked by Gorgia almost 6 years ago

It's a truthful article. There's a lot to consider in laying off bus drivers and having contracted companies in limbo.

i’ve dropped a couple of things on this bus and when i dropped something on the floor today because i kicked off my seat when i was trying to sleep...is she allowed to legally take away my personal item because i dropped it

Asked by shay over 6 years ago

We can take items away if they are causing a problem, but generally we aren't allowed to keep the items, they have to be claimed by a parent. That being said, don't argue, apologize, and let the driver keep said item for the time being. When you go to get off the bus, ask the driver for the item back and see what the driver says.

Or would that cause them to loose more brain cells

Asked by Honnie over 6 years ago

They already have limited brain cells.

Have you ever spotted Big Foot?

Asked by Yetti over 6 years ago

Nope but many of my highschoolers could compare.

Does the driver get to choose his or her route and stop times? Or does it distract/company do that?

Asked by Really man over 6 years ago

It depends on the district's policy and practices what routes are what.
