Can you eat and drive

Asked by Dj over 6 years ago

Yes, though generally if I have to eat and drive I choose easy stuff like chicken nuggets or something that isn't messy and I can deal without having much on it.

I got written up for messing with controls when I flipped this lock. I did not realize it would stall the bus out and the bus driver got pissed and wrote me up. The principal have me three days off the bus and a phone call home. How was I to Know?!

Asked by Johm about 6 years ago

So, you didn't learn a basic rule which is do not touch or play with something that isn't yours. Congratulations. You just learned something new. We do try to educate students but when they miss a crucial lesson that is taught in grade school or choose to ignore it and mess with something that isn't theirs, they can expect to have consequences.

Has anyone ever gave you a tip before?

Asked by Brandy about 6 years ago

Yes. It's few and far between but gifts and tips do happen. This one time, I was specially selected to provide transportation for a group of people coming in from out of town and they provided tips which were a welcome bonus.

Hey, have you ever known someone who has drove a bus for over 30 years? Do you plan on driving the rest of your life or do yoi think you will move on to bigger and better things. Have you always wanted to become a bus driver?

Asked by Red Beard over 6 years ago

Not 30 years but many of our drivers are topped out at over 20 years of service. I could definitely see myself doing this long term, but when i think of what else I could do, I don't see myself leaving my bus babies. But then again things change. I never thought in a million years that I would be a bus driver. It certainly wasn't my first choice but is my best choice for a job.
