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.

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

Asked by Ozark over 6 years ago

Acorns and he called them nuts.

What make and model bus are you currently driving? Do you like the bus or is it some old crappy clunker

Asked by T-More almost 7 years ago

2016 bluebird vision with an air conditioner retrofitted.

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 almost 7 years ago

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

Thanks. Now if you where in a supervisory position would you allow buses to wait more then ten minutes? I think some places put a policy that buses are not able to wait over ten minutes. Why or why not?

Asked by Rodney over 6 years ago

Personally unless there was a good reason for a bus to be there early like they were meeting another bus to hold their children or something similar, i probably would institute a rule like that. The longer a bus waits sitting still with children the more possibilities there are for altercations between children. Not only that some states have idling laws.

So next time someone puts their hair over the seat and it blows back at me can I take scissors and cut her (or even his) hair off? Maybe take a lighter and catch it on fire then take the fire extinguisher and put it out?

Asked by Dan about 6 years ago

Not unless you want to be removed from the bus by the police in handcuffs.

What the crap are school buses doing out on Cristmas?

Asked by Brother about 6 years ago

There may be charter trips and those use buses that may be school buses as well?

Kids freak out over anything. For real they go crazy over a trash truck, or the sound of the brakes, or even someone walking their dog. What do you do. How can I drive with screaming and going insane over trivial things?

Asked by Robin over 6 years ago

Honestly they're pretty chill. They don't freak out unless you do something dumb like slam on the brakes. They may get a little excited over something that's unusual but you have to realize they are kids. Most of the time if you chill out with them they will respect you.
