bus driver

SCHOOL BUS

A typical day usually comes with around 8-10 buses to clean, thoroughly, to ensure the safety of the costumers utilizing the bus. Through a learning experience, I learned different techniques and the importance of a clean unit. Management is very well organized. Workplace is inside of a washbay or in the yard to clean. Normally the company asks youth to do the job, although sometimes bus drivers will clean their own bus. Hardest part is during cold temperatures as you cannot use the washbay considering the water will freeze the bus, thus it is very cold in the yard. Although, you are able to run the heat in the bus while cleaning it. Most enjoyable would be how you can take your time, it's not rushed.

The job consist transport about 73 students for each trip from their homes to school and afternoon from school to their home. This is a vulnerable field and require lot of attention to the hazards and a conscious and safety driving. I've learned lot about to manager behaviors, to suport stress to work in a fast pace, to acomplish the trip on time managing the time second by second.

School bus drivers should get paid more than 16 per hour.
Busses required to be inspected by driver. Picked up each morning and dropped off at depot. There is lots of work that was unpaid. Driver had to put extra 2 to 4 hours each day before and after shift that was unpaid.

Safety and support were always top priority when working as a school bus driver. Loving kids and being an observant defensive driver are key components .

A pre- trip inspection every morning before the school run, drive children to and from school. 
I learned exceptional defensive driving skills.
The most difficult part of the job is that there is no support when attempting to deal with behavioural issues that arise on the bus.

i liked the company everyone is helpful and friendly, the work together and help each other.  This is a part of a bigger company and has a opportunity to advance in this company.

Not recommendable job. Salary is quite low compared to transit driver and only 4 hours work and splitted.  Took 5 hours but paid only 4hrs. There are no benefit.
3months laid off per year without pay.
This job is not good job.

A nice job to work with people living with disabilities & to have a lot of kids loving you and taking care of them and provide them with help & support  when they need you .

It's a good job for retired people who want some income and to be busy.
Kids are not always discipline and nothing you can do. 
Payment is poor. Very rare of becoming full time job.

It's a very relaxing and comfortable workplace. The employees and employers are really friendly manageable to work with. I suggest anyone to work there.
