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.

Flat nosed bus so the biggest bus they had. Should we have reported this? The driver was mad too and said that if we can find a alternative way such as being drove or driving or calling a Uber/Lyft some did but it was still bad. What should be done

Question do they usually make bus aides get a CDL? I heard they do sometimes in case they need to pull one or have one drive for a event?

Asked by Mr. Seth Myers about 4 years ago

 

What should I do. We had a bad experience with a driver on a field trip. First she wouldn’t let me have a cooler in the back because it blocked the exit never had a issue before Rest of this I pre typed out because some sites you can copy and paste to get around the limit I’m sorry but it’s a long story. We never had a problem putting a cooler back there before. She made me block a entire seat where kids could’ve sat. She also yelled at the kids very hatefully most drivers don’t say much of anything and just let the teachers handle it. I wouldn’t have a problem with it expect she was so rude. I also felt like she was speeding a little bit. Another problem was she refused to wear a mask. We didn’t say anything to her so we don’t cause a stir but with COVID in a crowded bus she should have worn a mask. Should the driver be reported or should I let it go and just hope we don’t get her again?

Same question for transportation office staff and mechanics would they usually require dispatchers, supervisors, front desk worker, people who clean buses, etc to have one in case they need to pull someone when they don’t have enough subs?
