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.

If you could not be a bus driver what would you do?

Asked by Dog lover about 7 years ago

Find another job.

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...

Asked by Dslsksk almost 7 years ago

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.

I can get over that stuff. Just most subs try and put the bus back the way they found it. Like I sad though I get a lot of complaints on her and want someone who will work well with them.

Have you tried asking her to put stuff back how she found it?

Do you think more buses should have jake brakes? I know some do but it is rare. What do you think?

Asked by Lennard about 7 years ago

Most school buses are now automatic shifting so jake brakes are not necessary or needed.

Is it sad that you will not see some kids again because of the early break VERY EARLY break.

Asked by ************ about 6 years ago

Yes actually. I miss every one of my bus kids. Even the ones who make me want to pull my hair out in frustration because they're the ones that need me the most. I've tried to keep in contact with parents as best I can but there is only so much I am allowed to do.

Hi ???? have you always worked for the same district

Asked by YOUNG MAN over 6 years ago

Yes.

Why when a bus is on fire the horn sounds off?

Asked by Joesph over 6 years ago

That happens with most vehicles when something triggers the electrical system to malfunction. When the fire heats up the electrical system it shorts out and melts together likely causing the systems connected to go off. That is why you see and hear car alarms, flashing lights, and the horn when something like that happens till the fire finally kills the system entirely.
