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.

Whoops sorry I asked so many questions I did not think it went through

Asked by Kimberly over 5 years ago

That's okay!

So here at the high school there was a student council member say that bus drivers can’t drive for more then so many hours they HAVE to charter. So my fellow bus drivers and me obviously called BS and said where not having some high schoolers

Asked by Dale almost 6 years ago

There are hour restrictions on all cdl class a and b drivers but whether companies follow them is up to the company.

So you think though if a sub came 20 minutes early and there was no notice and it was a mistake. That they should have sent the bus back or did something in that case? Do you think the sub would be reprimanded?

Asked by James almost 6 years ago

Reprimanded, no. As the rider you need to be ready for the bus to come at any point. Generally we tell our kids be ready 10 minutes early just incase. Generally if the sub is following the driver's instructions then it's your fault you missed the bus. Most buses stop and other kids are getting on at the same time.

What would happen if you pulled the parking brake at 60 MPH?

Asked by Jonsnsnsjsksk almost 6 years ago

The bus makes a beeping noise and it engages slowly to slow the bus down.

Then rant about it for 10 minutes. Also embarrassing someone because she thought that person was noes picking! Why not just pull them aside when they get off?!
