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.

That kind of language and again. Writing them up….. I am not the kind of driver to just abuse the write up system like some drivers do.


But. I have wrote more kids up this past few years then I have in the past 15

Asked by John about 4 years ago

 

I’m sorry to keep going. I mean some of the kids make me look like the devil. Sometimes you get a new route and kids say “I heard you were really mean”


In reality. I’m usually a pretty nice guy. The other day I was called a racist for not giving


His daughter a piece of candy. I told them. That it’s nothing to do with race. She got written up that week. And I don’t give candy to kids who got written up or who I otherwise had problems with and if he wants to go file a complaint to file it.

I don’t have to give candy out period and a lot of drivers don’t.

I don’t know anymore. Maybe you have some ideas.


Used to. I found the balance of being a cool driver without being w pushover.


There are drivers a lot meaner then I am


and there are drivers who let kids push them around. A hell of a lot meaner then I am.


I always had kids who love love love me and kids who hate hate hate me. But. Kids are more misbehaved now then ever before and managing them….. is not as easy as it used to be. Even ten years ago. Kids respected authority a lot more then they do now.


Many times. Candy (sometimes soda once in a blue moon and I tried pizza once but that was a disaster never doing that again) usually is a good reward. Assigning seats if things get out of control. But there are some kids. You can’t reason with. Who you end up writing up time after time and they’re always back on the bus within a few days and doing the same shit all over again.



I see why some drivers are as “mean” as they are. Some of them are unfriendly people even outside of work. But a number of them are drivers who are nice peppe who are simply fed up

My question is I see you’re backed up. But what makes the difference between a driver who is just doing it as a job is here to day gone tomorrow and a driver who’s wanting to make it a career choice?

Asked by Mike over 3 years ago

 

How can they find drivers who want to do this long term. As well as people who just come to get a CDL and take another job almost immediately? What’s a better way to get drivers to work as well as stay?
