DO subs generally give feedback? Do a lot of bus driver quit after their first “year” (year used loosely) or before the end of term? Who typically becomes driver is it young people in college, older semi retirees, or who else?

Asked by You over 6 years ago

Subs are welcome to give feedback to regular drivers on their routes. Many times the kids will act out or act differently when there is a sub on the bus because they think they can get away with it. Generally not everyone is cut out to drive a school bus, so we do have people who will quit after a stressful moment. That being said drivers come from all walks of life and backgrounds.

Sommelier

Do you occasionally get a little turned off by wine snobbery?

Auto Mechanic

Are mechanics more likely to take advantage of female customers than males?

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 about 7 years ago

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

Why are subs almost always late or early. Almost never on time?

Asked by Gina Dee over 6 years ago

Because a sub doesnt know how the regular driver runs the route and their driving style is different from the regular drivers style

You can delete this too because I have made so many comments now sorry. But as you can tell the drivers names are on there too.

Asked by Dj over 6 years ago

Drivers names aren't bad to have on there. Parents can look up a route then call the shop and say hey i found my kids route with x driver and it helps the shop narrow it down so parents can get in contact with the driver.
