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.

So okay there is this bus driver who only lets us sit triple as a last resort. I understand the safety concerns but thats not the weird part. She said its weird for two guys or two girls to have their butts touching.

Some drivers have old fashioned rules but it doesn't mean that they are wrong. Generally though to avoid harassment or problems I will sit boys with boys and girls with girls.

What is better Bluebird, IC, Thomas, Lion, or some other manufacturer?

Asked by TT almost 6 years ago

We have Bluebirds and International bluebirds on our yard. I don't have experience with any other type of bus.

Yes the radios can get a driver through a hard day. That is when they know when to shut up and enough is enough. Lol. I saw it in a training video once.

Asked by Mrs Crabbtree almost 6 years ago

This is true. Radio usage is monitored and restricted by district.

What do you think about eating and drinking on your bus? Are more lax as long as there is not mess? or are you more of no ones eating unless their starving to death or your a diabetic?

Asked by Jimmies over 5 years ago

I prefer they didn't eat on my bus because I don't want them to choke while the bus is moving. I understand that kids will be kids and they will eat, but as long as they're responsible about it and do not leave a mess or create more problems i generally won't say anything.

Can you eat and drive

Asked by Dj almost 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 over 5 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.
