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.

Hello why are you a bus driver? Out of everything you could do with your life be a truck driver, police officer, fire fighter, lawyer, politician, and everything else WHY A BUS DRIVER?! God bless you by the way we do need more bus drivers but why

Unions are slippery slopes.

Hello what would you do if some kid spit on you?

Asked by Poopy head almost 6 years ago

Write them up.

What time do you usually get up in the mornings? Some drivers say they have to be up at 3:30 AM and others don't have to until closer to 6:00.

515 to 545 am then drag my butt to the bus at 6 am

What do when the subs are useing old route maps and stopping by a sex offenders house and the driver just screams at me "DON'T TELL ME HOW TO DO MY JOB!" or worse tells me to shut the hell up and let her drive or she will pass it and make me walk

Asked by ?? about 6 years ago

Call the bus shop and ask them to redo the route in the system. Also another way to get on a substitutes good side is for you to offer to show them the route then be good about telling them turn left, turn right, stop just after this white mailbox, green trash can, orange car.... etc. The less a sub has to deal with other kids screaming in their ears the better.

Do you think bus drivers who yell should be fired? I don’t I figure if they are not saying anything too vulgar, not physically harming anyone, and not flat out bullying someone they should be able to keep their job. What do you think?

Asked by John about 6 years ago

If yelling was a reason to lose a job, I'd have been fired a long time ago.
