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.

What do you do if you get a bad note from a sub?

Asked by Silly Willy almost 6 years ago

Apologize to the sub and then my kids and I have a lecture route where I tell them what I expect from them when I have to be out. If they give me more trouble, they don't like the consequences.

What do you do if little Jonny craps or pee pees his pants? Or both because usually when you poop you pee. Seriously though what would you do in that situation?

Asked by Mr. Knowitall almost 6 years ago

Depending on where we are, take him to the school or take him home. Depending on the situation like legitimate accident or little johnny is just being an ass will determine my next course of action. If he's being an ass, generally I'll write him up.

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

Asked by Gocohcc about 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.

If you where to be assaulted would you be considered a special victim?

Asked by Day day over 5 years ago

Um probably?

She also instead of immediately taking me to school she made me go in the gas station with her for like ten minutes. She never said sorry and acted like it was all my fault. My driver always announces stops and does not care if we sleep. She is Unreasonable

Asked by Dillion over 5 years ago

Well she couldn't leave you unsupervised. If it was me I'd have offered to buy you a drink (soda or water) and a snack before taking you home and saw to it that you had the opportunity to use the bathroom.

Thanks for answering. I want to make it clear I just wanted a opinion and am not trying to convince or argue anything. But I would put the fairness on which trip is longer. Thanks again.

Asked by Interviewer over 5 years ago

That's a good idea actually. Sadly, coaches do not see it this way and neither do the bureaucrats in the school board offices. They do what they want to do.

What make and model bus are you currently driving? Do you like the bus or is it some old crappy clunker

Asked by T-More almost 6 years ago
