poor bus... I cringe at the john deer factor though

the company I work for as fleet manager- we got one in 2003/2004 as a test. We happened to like it, so we ordered another for myself. Mercedes engine, fully loaded as far as options, and 72 passenger with extended leg room(84 passenger length). That puppy MOVEEDD when I wanted her too. Engine gave us some problems so we orders 5 more the next year with the CAT equivalent. Never had one complaint from the drivers of them. I just hate the mirrors

@allergictoyurmomm mmm extender leg room sounds nice... an hour and abhalf each way was no fun in high school.. the other thing I will add to this conversation is Crown. Those things are bulletproof rode in one from 4th-8th grade and will neverr forget it.I was always the kid in the front seat bs'n with the driver. So I was loved by every driver that had our route. It was fun knowing about what was going on if a bus was down. One more thin I wont forget is the screaming Detroit in the carpenders

@bitsyray yeahhhh. sounds like me. when I was in high school. ride there= chatting with bus driver. ride home= same thing. I knew everything about every bus, every company. gossip and all. My bus driver was the company owner. Bus my sophomore year she got sick and was out for almost 6 months due to extensive surgery to remove a mass they found while doing her scan for her knee replacement. So I made good friends with the sub bus driver.(who worked for another company- the one I work for now)

@allergictoyurmomm senior year my regular driver was gone for a month due tohealth problems. The gossip was always great since I rode the longest route(mile wise) it was always funny to see the newer drivers drive in the snow.like in the vid, that error pulling in to the stop was by a driver being trained by the reg one. It was the reg driver that got the bus free. Yeah we had a loop, not as long as yours, but I would ride it. Since we were so far from the school, we had an extra rout

[bitsyray]

@allergictoyurmomm That left the school at 5pm, for activities people. It was always fun to rode since it was dark during winter. Also we had a good time since it was people who cared enough about school to take extracurriculars. Once in a while at night we would stop at a gas station to get food because there is nothing near or at the school to eat at that time..one time we got someone who had just graduated and got his certs. He just turned 19 a week before he started the night route.

@allergictoyurmomm OMG I DID THE EXACT SAME THING, GOT MY CDL AT 18(vids from my training on my channel)IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR ME TOO LOL

@allergictoyurmomm the mirriors, the factory claims there a safety feature, i dont know if you have ever noticed, but while driving a safe-t-linner, you never have to move your head to see out of the mirrors, because of the way there set on the bus.

[islandchica]

I take that bus :)) the other day it got stuck at pine cove :)) so my friends didnt have to got to school! lucky bastards!!!!

[allergictoyurmomm]

@bitsyray By 4:30 I mean all four of my routes- not just my high school. I drive the high school route i had when I was in school. and the two middles and elementary school I have are the same three my sub had. I got them when she quite to go full time on coach buses. I basically get to the next school with a minute or two before the bell rings- Except the elementary school I have about 30-45 minutes of lay over time- depending of if I stop for a drink and food somewhere along the way.

[allergictoyurmomm]

@bitsyray yeah I started when I was 18. My CDL was my birthday gift pretty much. yeah usual routes here consist of one high(9-12), one middle(6-8), and one elementary(1-5) route.(dunno how grades are broke down there so thought I'd put all that in. Anyways- Not ALL middle and elementary schools get out at the same time. So some drivers end up with two middles or two elementarys. Sometimes two of both. But my high school gets out at 2:15 and rolls out at 2:20 and I finish my last stop around 4:30

[allergictoyurmomm]

@bitsyray Also made good friends with the boss of my sub's company. When I got hired it was like I had already been working there for three years. But yeah alot of our buses are 84 passenger. or 72 passenger with extended leg room. That way, people like me, get a full length bus but still get the leisure of have comfortable seating/leg room for whoever is riding the bus.(high school students and adults in particular)

Also never driven a Crown or Carpenter. nor do we own any. So cant say a thing

[allergictoyurmomm]

@bitsyray so when my regular bus driver returned I rode with her in the morning. and the sub we had in the evening.(her route ended around the corner from where my began, I was first stop so she was at the same school) And I would ride her entire route in the afternoon to all 5 schools. And me, the sub, and my normal driver would all gossip and chat for 45 minutes at the one elementary school they both had a route at.
