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.

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.

Because they like to hear themselves talk and yammer on.

What should I do I keep having my aide pulled who’s not been qualified to dive a bus and my bus is absolutely out of control. What can I do? Have you ever had a problem like this?

Asked by Paula over 4 years ago

Change jobs. Most buses do not have aides on the bus to help monitor the children or their behavior. So either you can write them up for horrible behavior, learn how to relate to your kids, or change jobs.

Do you think this is degrading to drivers? These are the types of videos they make us watch and are trying to make us hold up to impossible standards especially during COVID-19. Do you have any advice jj get they are trying to be funny https://youtu.be/vzfPKI4ukE8

Asked by Lacie over 4 years ago

I think the video is fine. Most people do not understand what we go through as drivers and it's informational. If you're offended by it then change jobs.
