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.

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

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

Is Cummins the best engine?

Asked by Nsnsbs about 6 years ago

I'm not really sure to be honest. That would be a question for a mechanic.

How can I get the bus driver I want?

Asked by Owen over 6 years ago

Live in the area in which they drive.

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.

Hey you HAVE to watch this one it’s hilarious. Do you think this man needs his own show?

What one?

Thank you for answering my question. What is the best way to respond to complaints like that? Do parents get angry when you tell them there is nothing you can do and to bring it up with a supervisor?

Asked by Lynn over 6 years ago

You're welcome, generally if it's a bullying issue I tend to take a more proactive approach but have both the victim and the bully sit closer to me so I can hear what is being said. For other complaints, I take on a case by case basis and either try to work a solution or refer them to my supervisor if they are being petty.
