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.

Have you been been in a position where when severe weather you had to evacuate into a private house? Better then a ditch but what about safety precautions would be taken? What are all the proceeders you do?

Asked by Lorah over 5 years ago

Not into a private house but into a public building due to a tornado yes. I notified my supervisor where we were and that the kids were safe.

Bahahahaha! Good one. I let my kids cut up and have a good time as long as there is no bloodshed.

Do you think this is degrading to drivers? These are the types of videos they make us watch and are trying to make us hold up to impossible standards especially during COVID-19. Do you have any advice jj get they are trying to be funny https://youtu.be/vzfPKI4ukE8

Asked by Lacie over 5 years ago

I think the video is fine. Most people do not understand what we go through as drivers and it's informational. If you're offended by it then change jobs.

Have you been doing any summer school routes or field trips for summer school now that summer school has started?

Asked by Samual over 5 years ago

As of now, our system is closed until August and then opening will depend on the Covid-19 situation.

When did it become a common practice for school buses to start picking up kids at their houses instead of at bus stops? We never had the luxury when I was younger, why the change?

Asked by ANGRY almost 6 years ago

When child predators started abducting kids more frequently. Its a dangerous world out there.
