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.

What the crap are school buses doing out on Cristmas?

Asked by Brother almost 6 years ago

There may be charter trips and those use buses that may be school buses as well?

I understand but technically is it illegal and could it be considered vandalism if the judge just had a burning hate for bus drivers? Maybe the judge has had his chew thrown away and never got over it.

Asked by Samantha over 6 years ago

Samantha, let me break it down for you. It's illegal to have tobacco products on school property. Therefore if the product got damaged, flushed, stomped on, otherwise destroyed, the person doing it would be well within their rights to do so. Buses are considered school property. Stop asking the question to get the answer you want to hear because its not going to happen point blank.

Why do you not like unions very much?

Asked by Rosemary about 6 years ago

Unions have their benefits and disadvantages. It depends on the state you live in as to how well a union would work for you.

Do you do field trips much?

Asked by 123 like a bird I seen about 6 years ago

Yes. I do. Mostly Friday, Saturday, and Sunday though I will pick up the occasional trip other days.

At least it’s not like those motor coaches. They never follow even the speed limit.

Asked by Ruth almost 6 years ago

Motorcoaches are a different kind of bus and they have different standards.

Does your district/company do summer school routes? Do they charter?

Asked by Donna the lama over 6 years ago

Summer school, yes. Charter, no. Though we have been asked by people outside the schools to provide a bus occasionally for local in town functions.
