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.

What do I do about the summer school bus honking waking me up at seven every morning

Asked by Jerry almost 6 years ago

Wake up earlier then it won't wake you up?

So they moved the date school starts again. This time to Aug. 20. I know summer school is in progress but this seems like it will never blow over will it? These people predicting COVID-19 are worse then weather men liars. Not just for schools but everything

Asked by Concerned citizen almost 6 years ago

The date school starts is dependent on each state and individual district. Right now my district is on track to start back but if numbers keep rising, we're going to be back in isolation again.

What is a good behavioral system to have in place besides yelling and screaming or writing people up

Asked by Donna almost 6 years ago

Rewards for positive behavior. Interaction with the riders. Showing interest in their activities. All of these are positive ways of encouraging better behavior in students. Being firm and consistent is not the same as yelling and screaming at the kids.

What is the joke on putting “My Other Vehicle Is A School Bus” that people put on smart cars and motorcycles.

Asked by Dake almost 6 years ago

Some people do that to be funny I guess?

What is something that other drives do that you drive you up the wall. I know you mentioned drives playing on the CB and arriving at the schools too early. Why and what are some other things?

Asked by Jane almost 6 years ago

Tattle on each other for menial things that really are not a big deal in the first place. An example of this is a post on social media that they don't agree with so they take it to the boss to get the other person in trouble. It's childish and stupid.

Also can I play slug bug with my bus driver? I think it will be fun but don’t want to get written up or arrested LOL

Asked by Dayton almost 6 years ago

Probably not a good idea but you can joke with your driver.

Have you ever seen that bus that can go 300 MPH?

Asked by Darla almost 6 years ago

On YouTube, probably. ???????
