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.
I'm not entirely sure but it has to do with the make and model of the bus. Some school buses are 72 passenger and others are 90 passenger and still others are even less. So it just depends on the need of a company.
I've had my share of bad buses. Probably one that I've had to call the cops to
There are hour restrictions on all cdl class a and b drivers but whether companies follow them is up to the company.
We have Bluebirds and International bluebirds on our yard. I don't have experience with any other type of bus.

When do your policies allow you to hang up on a rude caller?
Nah I call it a year or a term it's both.
The thingamajigger is likely the digital camera system. The blinking light says its running. There may be a red button on it that the driver can push for automatic student ejection (just kidding) though really if they push that button it marks the tape and allows the driver to return to that moment in order to view what happened on video. Other flashy items on the dash may be the student lights or the left or right indicators.
No there isn't a difference that I can see though different states may have different requirements.
