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.

Other drivers use them to help us?

Asked by Dale almost 7 years ago

Unions are slippery slopes.

Is a bus driver alowed to discharge a kid off the bus with no other adults miles from home/school etc?!

Asked by Annie over 7 years ago

Define "miles". Most people have a misconception of how far a student is actually allowed to walk and in most states it is right at a mile or a little less. That being said, if the bus left a child on the side of the road without it being a legal bus stop then they are not allowed to do that. However, if you're upset your child had to walk a little bit in inclement weather, please join us or decide to drive them yourself.

Can a driver get in trouble for smoking on the bus. No students (passengers) on board but smells like smoke.

Asked by jhg over 7 years ago

Yes. Report it to the proper authorities.

Are school buss drivers allude to take a students phone away from them in Ohio

Asked by Elliot about 7 years ago

Yes if the phone is causing a distraction and it is school policy. The school bus is the extension of the classroom and is basically a mobile moving classroom. Do something stupid with your phone, lose the privilege of having it on the bus.

Here is something for you there is this sub bus driver who looks just like Dee Wallace who is very rude and yelled at me for doing homework while she was talking and threw it in the trash. What should I do?

Asked by Jamie about 7 years ago

Don't do your homework on the bus.

Why is my bus driver a bitch

Asked by Pam about 7 years ago

Ask her?

Why do bus drivers almost never get in trouble. The principals and supervisors always take the drivers side even if there is video of them screamig and cussing middle to high schoolers out and sometimes after calling 100 times they will move them?

Asked by 667 about 7 years ago

Because generally bus drivers don't do the things you accuse them of. The video is proof of them doing nothing wrong. It also depends on what your definition of cussing is and truthfully if the kids were better behaved then there wouldn't be a problem in the first place.
