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.

Have you ever drove a route way out in the boonies? How long can those routes take and about what time is the first stop In the morning?

Asked by Jimmy Dean Shine On over 6 years ago

Yes, some routes take upwards of 2 hours. Earliest stop I've heard is around 5:45 am. Though depending on the location of the children it can be slightly earlier to be able to get them and others to school by 7:15 am.

is it legal for a bus to use a driveway as a turnaround?

Asked by Dog lover about 6 years ago

Yes. It is. Sometimes driveways are all we have that give us enough space to turn around at the end of a road.

Hey is anything you do legal? Anything a bus driver does, says, thinks, or anything else legal? Just asking lol

Asked by Ding dong over 6 years ago

Let me check with my lawyer.

While driving just put the cruse control on, hold the streering wheel and take care of business. Is that okay?

Asked by Infj over 6 years ago

What the hell???

Okay so I want to ask this without sounding mean. Why do you think some drivers like to pull in five, ten, even fifteen minutes before the doors open? Is it maybe for hours so they can say they get paid more? Or do you think they just want to be there early so if something happens they wont have to worry about being late? Just curious.

Asked by Asker dmsjsjdndn almost 7 years ago

Some like to be first in line. I'll never understand why they decide to pull in and wait. It makes no sense to me. That's why i plan my route to be done right on time.

Is it sketchy if drivers are in the radio saying where the cops are

Asked by Crown super coach over 6 years ago

Eh, not really. Most anyone who listens to a cb radio feed can figure out where the cops are stationed.
