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.

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.

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.

Would you ever start a YouTube channel? Like Real Life With Michelle, Miss Hoods School Bus Life, or someone like that?

Asked by Daniel over 6 years ago

If I could be guaranteed not to lose my job, yes. But too many people don't like social media and I have already gotten in trouble for it thats why I stay anonymous.

I really don't know what to do about the bus monitor we never had any problems with the driver and the school said they cant do anything about it what should i do

Asked by Tasha over 6 years ago

Go to the transportation department. If you cannot get a resolution that way then elevate it to the superintendent.

Are districts ever legally required to close, delay, or dismiss early because of inclement weather? Or is it completely district decision? Why are some districts open come hell or high water and others close for flurries?

Asked by Funny bear over 6 years ago

No not legally required. There are special circumstances where it might happen (like a terrorist attack which may close down major cities etc) but most states leave the decision up to the individual districts and schools to make that call.

Yea make sure you report it to Jobstr. Their getting past the limits by copy and pasting. Your welcome
