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.

What do you do if you hit a deer or some other animal?

Asked by Jane almost 6 years ago

Report it to the boss and the boss goes and gets the meat if its a deer. If its a smaller animal like a squirrel we don't generally report it. If its a dog or a cat we let the boss know that way if an angry parent calls he can say keep your animal inside next time.

Is it true that districts place their bus drivers say the stricter meaner ones on more misbehaved routes and the ones that are more Lenient and nicer are put on better behaved routes
