1007 Questions

Last Answer on February 07, 2021

Why don't they have a forum like this but just for bus drivers? Have newbie, ten year drivers, and veteran drivers. Drivers from all over the US. School bus drivers, city drivers, greyhound, etc. Just a bus driver Q&A?????

Thats a good idea. My q&a definitely seems to be popular.

Can you write up a student for saving seats even if they did not give attitude? My bus driver asked for my name as i was getting off the bus because for the second time i didnt want anyone next to me when there were other seats open. Can she do that?

Yes. If the driver is telling you and others where to sit you do not get to dictate who sits where and with who. Sorry it doesn't work that way. Slide in and make a new friend.

It’s sad that they need to come up with all that stuff. Honestly people should be able to know when to stop on the really old buses that just had the solid light. Unfortunately people will run them no matter how much you pimp the buses out. But it’s worth a try to get someone to stop.

It is sad and year after year we have more kids get hit by other drivers who don't pay attention.

It's always best to have a cdl class b to drive any commercial vehicle but it depends on the company's requirements.

When you request subs do you do it online or the old fashion way? Do you have a program like ASOP or something like that you just put your going to be gone on so and so and then subs get a text.

Asked by Don’Marie over 5 years ago

Again that varies district by district. Some districts have a sub list, others have an automated system and still others will have the traditional call in and have your supervisor find somebody to run your route.
