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.

Hey after being a driver for a while have you ever at a restaurant or somewhere sitting tried to look up in your minor to see what someone was doing behind you. Say someone sounded drunk. Then you where like oh yea...

Lol I find myself stopping at railroad crossings in my personal vehicle and when I'm out in the grocery store and I see a child acting out I will give them the bus driver stare.

What is the angriest a parent has ever been with you and what happens?

Asked by Connie bear about 6 years ago

I've had a parent step up on my bus and shout in my face before. Generally once they say what they want to say it's over. Occasionally they will get so riled up that they will ignore bus driver requests to exit the bus and we have to call the police. The police can then arrest them for trespassing.

How did you feel with the passing of your first patient?

I took a nap on the bus because I have to get up early. I was woke up by a alarm and a very angry sub at a gas station. Not my fault she did not announce the stop. But she was mad at me. She should have said sorry. Can she get fired?

Asked by Dillion over 6 years ago

She cannot get fired for doing her job and checking the bus for sleeping kids. We can get aggravated and upset at kids that sleep but understand that you're human.

Has someone ever tried watching porn on your bus? If yes what happened? If no what would/will you do in that situation?

Asked by Rocco about 6 years ago

Generally if someone chooses to watch explicit material they are discreet about it and use headphones. I can usually tell if something isn't right by the looks on kids faces and whether or not they draw a crowd. With the added availability of technology everywhere, explicit material is widely available to even the youngest person. If someone were to be reported for watching porn, I would have to write them up and confiscate the device.
