Female, 37

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.

Is it true that if you fire one driver in a lot of places a lot of drivers will get mad and quit?

Asked by Snsjjsj about 6 years ago

Depends on how the working environment is. Failure to treat your employees properly will result in them quitting.

Why do people think these forms are chat rooms?

Asked by Donaldsoneeson about 6 years ago

I don't know?

Am I allowed to catch the elementary bus if I miss the secondary bus? I would be late but would it be okay?

Asked by SI over 6 years ago

That would depend on your district and the bus driver. You could ask but chances are good the driver will say no.

Also, why has your questions gone down again? Do you think someone is spam posting questions or that it was just because it was the begging of the year? Other elxmation?

Asked by Jill over 6 years ago

Probably because the beginning of the year has dropped off. I'll generally get another surge of questions in January.

Do you have a sub list that you can prefer subs on?

Asked by Stan over 6 years ago

Some districts require drivers to find their own subs, others choose for them. In my district its a mix. If you have a midday or an extra route, you are responsible for finding your own sub. But if you have to be off your regular route then you have that covered by them.

Now that I remember I had a driver who had this rule too. Is this messed up or do you agree?

Asked by Confused over 6 years ago

Again every driver has different standards.

Someone was standing on my bus and the bus driver brake checked him and he went flying on the floor

Asked by Blake over 6 years ago

Report the driver to the district. Also don't stand on the bus.
