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 hours are you legally allowed to drive at a time?

Asked by Man over 6 years ago

I believe the federal law is 14 to 16 hours on the clock 8 hours mandatory off the clock. This is generally for truckers and other long haul drivers. School bus drivers don't usually have to adhere to that federal law.

Consider this. A trip might be 10 hours long but only involves 4 hours worth of drive time (drive there and back) the remaining 6 hours are the activity time for the group you took to the destination.

Are school buss drivers allude to take a students phone away from them in Ohio

Asked by Elliot over 6 years ago

Yes if the phone is causing a distraction and it is school policy. The school bus is the extension of the classroom and is basically a mobile moving classroom. Do something stupid with your phone, lose the privilege of having it on the bus.

Have you ever got done with your route(s) to find some kid sleeping?

Asked by Don over 6 years ago

Yes. It happens.

I could have swore there was another bus driver on here at one time. Was there or have you always been the only one?

Asked by JJ over 6 years ago

I have no clue. I know I'm one of the only school bus driver threads?? I'm not entirely sure though.

There is also a video of a bus driver blowing a whistle in a kids ear and yelling at him.

Asked by Jeff over 6 years ago

Thats unacceptable.

What is the dumbest question you have ever been asked on here?

Asked by James over 6 years ago

There are too many to list.

So a judge could not do anything even if he or she wanted to. Honestly that was all I wanted to know is if it was legal or not. Again I am not going to do it and I don’t want the bus driver arrested or sued. Sorry and thank you.

You're welcome.
