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.

Hi ???? have you always worked for the same district

Asked by YOUNG MAN about 6 years ago

Yes.

Is a write up and a citation the same thing?

Asked by Danie over 6 years ago

Yes. It is.

I can get over that stuff. Just most subs try and put the bus back the way they found it. Like I sad though I get a lot of complaints on her and want someone who will work well with them.

Asked by Glynn about 6 years ago

Have you tried asking her to put stuff back how she found it?

Yea make sure you report it to Jobstr. Their getting past the limits by copy and pasting. Your welcome

Asked by Dan about 6 years ago

Thanks, ill be sure to do that the next time it happens!

Have you ever had a bus fire? What did/would happen?

Asked by Johnson about 6 years ago

Not personally but there have been a few fires in my district. Thankfully no students injured and in both the fire was quickly extinguished by either the driver or the fire department. As for your other question which has been removed i took items out of my bio that i felt could be used to narrow it down to where i am and my district. Its a protection.

What do I do if the bus is always later then the posted stop time by five, ten, sometimes fifteen minutes but substitutes come pretty close to the stop time. Would calling the transportation director and asking to have the stop time raised be okay?

Asked by Sydney over 6 years ago

Actually thats a good solution. If your regular driver runs late but the sub runs on time then the transportation needs to be aware so that they can make changes to the route so kids don't miss the bus by mistake.

I really don't know what to do about the bus monitor we never had any problems with the driver and the school said they cant do anything about it what should i do

Asked by Tasha about 6 years ago

Go to the transportation department. If you cannot get a resolution that way then elevate it to the superintendent.
