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.
There are hour restrictions on all cdl class a and b drivers but whether companies follow them is up to the company.
What other weird rules are you talking about?
No
I've had my share of bad buses. Probably one that I've had to call the cops to
SWAT Team Commander (Retired)
How do you decide whether to try and kill a hostage taker?
Debate Coach
Are presidential debates actually "debates", by the traditional definition?
CPR Trainer
Are men better at CPR than women because they're generally stronger?
No. No. No. I generally try to get through to all my bus riders and make them feel welcome on my bus regardless of past behavior or issues.
That depends on your district's requirements. Most school buses have air brakes to my knowledge but there are a good many that don't have them. Check with your local district.
No there isn't a difference that I can see though different states may have different requirements.
