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.

Also does it annoy you when someone calls it a year when it is not a year. It is a term.

Nah I call it a year or a term it's both.

What do you think about eating and drinking on your bus? Are more lax as long as there is not mess? or are you more of no ones eating unless their starving to death or your a diabetic?

Asked by Jimmies over 5 years ago

I prefer they didn't eat on my bus because I don't want them to choke while the bus is moving. I understand that kids will be kids and they will eat, but as long as they're responsible about it and do not leave a mess or create more problems i generally won't say anything.

Can you eat and drive

Asked by Dj over 5 years ago

Yes, though generally if I have to eat and drive I choose easy stuff like chicken nuggets or something that isn't messy and I can deal without having much on it.

Yes the radios can get a driver through a hard day. That is when they know when to shut up and enough is enough. Lol. I saw it in a training video once.

Asked by Mrs Crabbtree over 5 years ago

This is true. Radio usage is monitored and restricted by district.
