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.

Is it considered threatening if someone called the bus driver a name and the driver said “you think your tough, say it to my face” and then asked if their scared of her?

Lol well did they say it to her face? Don't say it behind someone's back. Seriously, grow up and quit acting like an asshole people.

Why do you not like unions very much?

Asked by Rosemary over 6 years ago

Unions have their benefits and disadvantages. It depends on the state you live in as to how well a union would work for you.

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?

Yes I have seen co workers gotten pulled over. They were speeding. One had kids on the bus. Although both co workers got off with warnings, one was fired the other was given a very stiff warning not to let it happen again.

Does your district/company do summer school routes? Do they charter?

Asked by Donna the lama over 6 years ago

Summer school, yes. Charter, no. Though we have been asked by people outside the schools to provide a bus occasionally for local in town functions.

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.
