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.

How many stories of these people are telling you are people making shit up? If you read some of them their just outright crazy! Some of them The writing style is the same I’m getting the feeling someone is playing around on these forums I would beware

I know many bus drivers who are great people. The police have been pulling them over for petty offenses like 1 mile over and petty moving and non-moving violations.


Mostly K-9 officers so they can try and find drugs on students. They don’t realize the impact this has on drivers though especially if the officer tickets them. Being pulled over on the job is humiliating at best.


They have found drugs. But honestly I feel like they are crossing the rights of the drivers and students on the bus

I mean crazy things happen Lord knows I rode the bus too and I have some crazy stories but your forum is more wild then the other forums but maybe they just delete some of the more non sensical stuff

When I say found drugs. I mean a few times. Out of many. Not mine though. Mostly a little weed or find a vape pen or tobacco products.

It would be better if they set it up with the school though
I would not mind a drug search if it was set up and not just pulling us over. I don’t do drugs. So why can’t they set it up with the district? Tell me to pull over somewhere and do your thing

What is wrong with the bus driver? I already know when school is back in we got our bus driver back again. This lady is mean we can’t eat, we can’t drink, not even a sip of water, no gum, we can’t do homework because some who we can stab penciles and pens up our nose or stab ourself, no phones because their distracting and people miss stops, same with handheld video games, same with lap tops, we can barely talk with out getting yelled at, we can’t have headphones in because she does not think we can hear her, so we have to listen to whatever garbage she is playing, we can barely talk without being told to shut up, we can’t even have a bag pack string in the isle, she yells bloody murder anytime someone breaks any rule and writes them up, she is known for making us late both to school and back home, you must be at you stop 5-10 minutes early which is dumb she will sometimes wait but write you up for “delaying the loading/unloading of school bus”, ANYTHING she threw a fit because there was mud on the bus from someone’s shoe like did she not want him to wear shoes? WHY?????????
