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.

Why are some bus drivers show up as early as possible so we can sit in the bus lot for thirty minutes and do nothing. Others show up at the last possible minute? What’s up with that? My bus comes at 6:45 this year a few years ago it was 7:15.

Asked by Dann over 5 years ago

Are other kids getting on your bus while you wait at.the bus lot? There may have been some changes to where other drivers are forced to hold other kids while the now empty drivers go out and pick up more kids. Personally I time my route so that I don't have to wait in line.

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

This is not the q&a to answer that.

For me or the bus driver? I know that it is illegal and am not planning on bringing tobacco products on the bus. I am just legitimately curious because someone said they are suing the school pressing charges on his driver.

Asked by Samantha over 5 years ago

They can still attempt to sue the school and driver but then they'd have to explain why they had tobacco products on school property. According to the federal law it is illegal to bring drugs on school property. Tobacco is considered a drug. They'll be laughed out of the court.

Can I ask the bus driver not to have my child to sit with another child? The other child is mean to my child. The child push my child up against the window. Should I call the bus company or ask the bus driver?

Asked by Mimi over 5 years ago

I would speak with the driver first. Be careful accusing other kids of actions. The bus is a very delicate balancing act.

For real try and write me up for a dirty bus when I clean my bus every day. Other weird stuff they pull. The director of transportation is a good guy. They do it to other drivers too. Advice? I have chilled a bit. Then they talk about misbehavior

Asked by Carlene over 5 years ago

Take photos of your bus that's been clean and document document document. If you're writing kids up for little things then maybe its time you found another job?

What happens if you break down on a one lane road with no shoulder?

Asked by Chicken Little over 5 years ago

You call a tow truck and the mechanics. Then put out the hazard triangles to show motorists of the hazard of your vehicle in the road.
