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.

Thank you for answering! Okay I have one more question about the weight stations. Is there any reason a bus would be required to go through them? I mean any that you know of at all even if t is exceptionally rare?

Depends on the state you live in.

Hey what do you think is the weirdest thing a kid has ever brought on your bus?

Asked by Ozark about 7 years ago

Acorns and he called them nuts.

What are some common myths about being a bus driver?

Asked by Don about 7 years ago

That every bus has air conditioning. That it's an easy job to make 50 to 100 kids sit down.

I heard a bus driver one time brake a kids E cigarette. Is that illegal?

Asked by Samantha about 7 years ago

Tobacco products are forbidden on school property. Buses are school property. If a kid has an e-cig, its illegal. That being said, generally I would confiscate it and turn it in to administration. I've also been known to look the other way on certain runs when it's strictly highschool kids if they have dip or other items as long as they don't make a scene with it or are obnoxious about it. Basically don't blow a smoke cloud on my bus or you will get caught.

What’s your Iq

Asked by Big Jim over 6 years ago

Probably more than yours is.

Is it illegal for a bus driver to BLAST country music because she did not like the rap. I get that someone should not turn up their music when she says “TURN THAT HORSESHIT MUSIC OFF” (she was cussing) but then everyone has to suffer.

Asked by Tina over 7 years ago

No its not illegal. Rude yes. Illegal no. Also turn that horseshit off.

At least it’s not like those motor coaches. They never follow even the speed limit.

Asked by Ruth almost 7 years ago

Motorcoaches are a different kind of bus and they have different standards.
