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.

Are they doing this in your district too? Could I potentially win a suit? So, if a staff member refuses to force a child to wear a mask etc they get reprimanded and eventually fired if not immediately. I don’t think this is right.

Asked by Wade over 4 years ago

You don't think its right they fired the staff member? In many states they don't need a reason to fire a person.

What do you look like?

Why do some drivers use the radios to just talk and talk and talk non stop all the time and never let people who need to use them on because they just wanna hear themselves talk I guess.

Asked by Donald over 4 years ago

Because they like to hear themselves talk and yammer on.

One more ONE MORE i know you got a lot. Do some people ever use the free CDL training to then quit and find another job say trucking, city bus driving, coach driving, working for another district, etc?

Asked by I’m not pooping about 4 years ago

My driver tells us about how he used to be in all these crash demolition derby’s that’s how he learned to drive a bus and he has photos all over the bus. Should I be worried? Uhh there’s some traffic JUMP where at school. Just ram some cars no biggie

Asked by Rylee over 4 years ago

Nah if he shows issues like being unsafe in actual driving then bring it to someone's attention.

I do not understand how this driver even got her job back and isn't in jail? I guess having a good lawyer maybe. Maybe you could take a look and see what you think as a insider so to speak https://www.syracuse.com/schools/2019/07/judges-rule-j-d-bus-driver-who-slapped-child-should-get-job-back-district-may-appeal.html#:~:text=Judges%20rule%20J-D%20bus%20driver%20who%20slapped%20child,her%20job%2C%20a%20panel%20of%20judges%20have%20said.

Asked by TRUMP WON!!! about 4 years ago

While it wasn't right that she slapped the child, the child was lashing out in anger first and being physical with the driver. It was definitely a momentary lapse in judgement. Is it a career ending one? No. How many parents get their kids taken away just because they walloped their kid on the behind once. There was no excessive force and it was likely a moment of reactionary behavior to what the child was doing.
