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.

I understand but technically is it illegal and could it be considered vandalism if the judge just had a burning hate for bus drivers? Maybe the judge has had his chew thrown away and never got over it.

Asked by Samantha about 7 years ago

Samantha, let me break it down for you. It's illegal to have tobacco products on school property. Therefore if the product got damaged, flushed, stomped on, otherwise destroyed, the person doing it would be well within their rights to do so. Buses are considered school property. Stop asking the question to get the answer you want to hear because its not going to happen point blank.

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

Asked by Donna the lama about 7 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.

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.

Why do you not like unions very much?

Asked by Rosemary almost 7 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.

Also the administrators and supervisors would see it and if it was too harsh or too nice they could change or toss it out. They could still also make another punishment. It’s more work for them and sometimes they may not even get around to it.

See my previous answer.

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 about 7 years ago

2016 bluebird vision with an air conditioner retrofitted.

It also times the bus every minute of the route where it goes and every turn it makes so you could approximately track the bus .

Asked by DJ over 6 years ago

Moat districts have a time schedule for buses listed and yes if there was someone who wanted to harm children this could be a problem. The only major issue i see is where you mentioned the names of kids listed.
