Is it okay to wear a MAGA hat when you drive.

Asked by Orange man ???? about 6 years ago

Sure? I mean a hat is a hat is a hat. If you're offended by a hat, I suggest you find a safe space to cry and grow up.

Can school bus driver stop the bus on the side of the road for 10 minutes or more to take a break? This is around 7:00am

Asked by Stephanie over 6 years ago

Yes. It also depends on whether they have students on the bus too. They may be trying to get their students under control too and one of the easiest ways to do that is to simply pull the bus over and wait. If the driver is at a school or near a school they may be killing time before drop off is allowed.

Today I said a bad word and the bus driver said I would have to find another rude home this afternoon and the next three days. Being this is my FIRST write up he usually gives warrings the first time. Do you think I was singled out?

Asked by Erin about 6 years ago

Short answer, no. Don't cuss. Long answer maybe write an apology to him and step to the bus this afternoon with it. Explain that it isn't your normal way of acting and offer to sit in the front for a few days in lieu of getting kicked off. If he holds firm then say thank you anyways and gracefully walk away and find a ride.

Do you ever do cross country trips or do they usually hire a charter service for them?

Asked by 435345 about 6 years ago

Cross country as in the sport yes. Cross country as in longer than 5 to 7 hours... generally that depends on the trip coordinator whether they get charter or lowball pay us.
