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 do you keep kids from driving you cra cra

Asked by Jefferson almost 6 years ago

You have to be crazier than the kids.

For real try and write me up for a dirty bus when I clean my bus every day. Other weird stuff they pull. The director of transportation is a good guy. They do it to other drivers too. Advice? I have chilled a bit. Then they talk about misbehavior

Take photos of your bus that's been clean and document document document. If you're writing kids up for little things then maybe its time you found another job?

What is the difference between a sequential flashing system and a non-Sequential sequential flashing system?

Asked by Dimmue over 5 years ago

One is sequential and the other is non sequential sequential? My guess is that you may be referring to the student lights. When they alternate thats non sequential but they still all work sequentially together. Whereas the hazard lights are flashing all together at once.

Give her a chance to show ya'll how she operates. Also don't be jerks to her just because of what you hear. A bit of peer pressure goes a long way when it comes to handling behavior.

Would you ever start a YouTube channel like Ms.Hoods School Bus Life?

Do any buses have Bluetooth or a audio jack so you can listen to what you want over the radio?

Asked by Gocohcc over 5 years ago

I can't speak for all buses but the newer buses in my district including my own have an auxiliary feature where i can plug in an aux cord and play music through my phone through the radio. I generally will play pandora Disney kids music or tween popular songs that are mostly clean lyrics. If i have only older kids on the bus like highschoolers, i will allow them to hook up to the aux cord themselves and play their music or use my phone to search pandora.
