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.

Does school start back up tomorrow or the next day?

Asked by Uh ob about 6 years ago

We went back January 6.

Hi, thanks I make a point to try and stand on my pour here, in the door, watch out the window, or sit in the car in lightning. It was a problem we had with a former bus driver who tried to take off on many people on those days and did leave some.

Asked by Jdjdjsjsjsjdjdjdndnd almost 6 years ago

If my kids are waiting on the porch or at the door ready to dash out to the bus (not walk slowly) i will wait. However that is generally an exception.

What happens if your in traffic where it can be a 1 even few hours delay. I know it’s rare but it can happen and I have heard of it before. What do you do? Is it different in the AM and PM what about field trips or other events?

Asked by Trump KAG 2020 almost 6 years ago

Sit in traffic. There isn't much to do unless a good viable alternative is found. Sometimes we have no choice.

Let me check with my lawyer.

Is it illegal for a driver to get up out of his or her seat?

Asked by Infj about 6 years ago

If the driver is safely stopped, no.

Do you think Chris Farley is delivering lunches to kids? Uh oh...

Asked by YOU KNOW almost 6 years ago

Uh no.

Now question have you ever took a route that no one else wanted for some reason? Why? What was it like?

Asked by Pamela over 5 years ago

There are always routes out there that nobody else wants but I am a firm believer that there is a bus driver for every route meaning that there is a bus driver that will be able to reach the kids on each route in that special way. It is sort of like a matching game, you have to figure out which bus driver matches with what route. Some routes are definitely more challenging than others.
