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.

Hey what happened you where getting questions everyday and now your getting a few a week again.

Asked by June about 7 years ago

I slowed down on answering them. Time constraints on my part.

Then rant about it for 10 minutes. Also embarrassing someone because she thought that person was noes picking! Why not just pull them aside when they get off?!

Maybe dont distract her?

Why do kids like to complain about the music that the radio is on when it is on their station most of them don’t even listen to it. They are too busy with head phones in, being loud, etc

Asked by Jsopdsofj about 7 years ago

Because sometimes they can hear that music over their headphones. I try to keep the music at a reasonable level so we all get along.

HAVe you ever had a tire blow out? If you did what happend?

I am a veratrin driver for around 50 years now. My new district has threatened to fire me if I do not get my act together. Never had those problems in other districts or company's. The director is understanding but people in school board are assholes

Asked by Carlene about 7 years ago

What brought about them threatening you in the first place?

i’ve dropped a couple of things on this bus and when i dropped something on the floor today because i kicked off my seat when i was trying to sleep...is she allowed to legally take away my personal item because i dropped it

Asked by shay almost 7 years ago

We can take items away if they are causing a problem, but generally we aren't allowed to keep the items, they have to be claimed by a parent. That being said, don't argue, apologize, and let the driver keep said item for the time being. When you go to get off the bus, ask the driver for the item back and see what the driver says.

Also when you drive your route of cats do they climb and on you and don’t sit down and meow too much? What do you do to manage the cats behavior on the bus on your kitty cat route
