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.

Does school start back up tomorrow or the next day?

Asked by Uh ob over 6 years ago

We went back January 6.

If a bus is equipped with two strobes (one in the front, and one in the back or middle) do they both come on with one switch or do they each have their own or does it depend?

Asked by Kay almost 6 years ago

Honestly I don't know. I've only had experience with one strobe light which is operated by one switch inside the bus.

Also, I assume drivers get a lot of days off since they can get subs would I be right or wrong?

Asked by 05689 about 6 years ago

Even in this crisis we still have a driver shortage.

Is it true that sometimes districts and companies illegally use unqualified people to drive buses?

Asked by 885858585 about 6 years ago

All drivers are supposed to pass strict guidelines and licensing requirements as set by federal and state law. We are required to pass a physical every year and comply with DOT standards. Do bad apples get through and do companies attempt to bypass these standards, yes. But rest assured that they nearly always get caught hopefully before lives are at stake.

Do you think Chris Farley is delivering lunches to kids? Uh oh...

Asked by YOU KNOW about 6 years ago

Uh no.

Why is my kids lunch being delivered late? It was 11;00 but now it is like 1, 2, even 4:00 once

Asked by Dave almost 6 years ago

Sometimes delays happen due to shortages of staff or an inability to function due to more restrictions for the safety of students and drivers and other staff. Just be patient. This covid-19 stuff is all new to us.
