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.

DO subs generally give feedback? Do a lot of bus driver quit after their first “year” (year used loosely) or before the end of term? Who typically becomes driver is it young people in college, older semi retirees, or who else?

Asked by You almost 7 years ago

Subs are welcome to give feedback to regular drivers on their routes. Many times the kids will act out or act differently when there is a sub on the bus because they think they can get away with it. Generally not everyone is cut out to drive a school bus, so we do have people who will quit after a stressful moment. That being said drivers come from all walks of life and backgrounds.

Is it considered threatening if someone called the bus driver a name and the driver said “you think your tough, say it to my face” and then asked if their scared of her?

Remember that kids are people with emotions and worries like adults. Sometimes their shoulders are holding the world and they can't help it.

Thank you for answering! Okay I have one more question about the weight stations. Is there any reason a bus would be required to go through them? I mean any that you know of at all even if t is exceptionally rare?

Depends on the state you live in.

Telling us how many hours we can work. So we took it to transportation supervisor and director. So they got with the school board and spent a lot of money on two new and custom buses to fit their needs. Besides we did not have enough type D buses
