I'm no expert but someone in the bus and someone else recording from 100 yards away and then getting together to post online seems a bit of too much of a coincidence. Gonna call this one B S.

There's a lady I went to CDL school with who was a bus driver for years. She was by and far the most clueless person in the whole school. I'm talking worse than both the 18 and 19 year olds that were there. Got virtually every single question wrong, always would pick the most stupid and dangerous decision, and was always late to class. I have no idea where they find these people. I think as long as you have a clean background check, they will hire you no matter what.

envy841@reddit

Every school district in the country has a shortage of bus drivers and has for decades. It’s a complex issue.

We had a driver who drove for years then got drunk on some holiday, partied, didn’t go to bed till 4 am and had to be in to drive at 5am. Still drunk, he takes some speed or uppers, and come in drunk and high. Fell asleep at the wheel with a loaded bus and drove thru a front yard into a house

[-]

arrynyo@reddit

It's not complex. They don't pay anything. I did it for one school year the pay was shit. I couldn't afford to keep working there.

[-]

MountainHarmonies@reddit

This is it in a nutshell. If I have a CDL then I have options and they are gonna have to pay me MORE to haul children. Instead it's the opposite

AaronTuplin@reddit

Right? The school district I'm in brags about how much they pay their drivers but according to the bus drivers I've talked to they only get paid 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon. Like fantastic I made $100 today

[-]

Banana_Stanley@reddit

I get paid for 5 hours a day even though my route doesn't take me that long (closer to 4). And then for extra money you can do field trips and they're always desperate for summer school drivers. Most of my coworkers are retirees but it works well for me since 1) I'm not the main bread winner in my house and 2) I can still make it to all the various appts my kids and I have during the midday.

[-]

MustangMark83@reddit

It’s cuz the pay is shit and they have to deal with bratty kids. Most qualified drivers don’t want it

[-]

TheLastGenXer@reddit

its not the pay so much as the split shifts and the difficulty in getting benefits.

either you dont get enough hours through the company.

or you make too much money for help through your state.

plus the job would be 1000% better with an aid. id rather have an aid and be paid less.

Zealousideal-Tap-713@reddit

Its says it in the description that they were arrested, and I know the company fired them for this.

They got super lucky that they had room to pull up, or it would've been a tragedy. Whoever is driving not only didn't stop before the track and check for an incoming train, they failed to watch for proper clearance as well.

[-]

SycoJack@reddit

They didn't have enough room and should have been pushing cars out of the way. They nearly got those kids in the back killed, they missed by inches. That was insane.

[-]

arrynyo@reddit

Facts. And they shouldn't have been on the tracks period. There's a reason they train bus drivers to stop BEFORE the tracks. Both ways for trains arm down or not. Not supposed to move over the tracks until they know for sure they can cross completely. I bet all those parents were ready to beat the brakes off that bus driver.

The problem is that it’s a part time job that takes up your whole day. Outside of retirees, nobody can afford to do that job.

why should they be charged with anything resulting in severe bodily harm when that didn't happen?

why don't you just tar and feather them?

[-]

deadpat03@reddit

Because a kid is in developmental stages and a life altering instances like this could and will probably effect them for the rest of their lives. Im my book that is severe bodily harm. Their are instances of children having an irrational fear of clowns and pickles to late adulthood just because of an interaction with them as a child. Now imagine a kid sitting on a bus watching a train barrel directly towards them. Imagine just 1 kid on that bus that will forever have a panic attack everytime he steps on a bus from PTSD. If that's not enough for severe bodily harm than I guess you will wait to the kid is beaten and bloody then. I expect the highest standard of care and safety from school employees. Bus drivers should be the highest scrutinized CDL job in America.

There are a lot of bad school bus drivers on the roads these days. I had a driver wait till I was right up on him and pulled out on front of me from a dead stop at a stop sign with a bus full of kids. I had to slam on my brakes so I wouldn't hit them. He just sped off while I blasted my air horn. I think some of these districts are so desperate they're just hiring anyone they can find.

[-]

teachthisdognewtrick@reddit

Combination of factors: first is pay (big surprise), the behavior of kids (many behave in a manner that most here would have received a belt on their butt or a bar of soap in the mouth for). Hours aren’t great, with an annoying gap between shifts. You get sick all the time, kids always bring you the latest bug going around.

Cargo that doesn’t talk back is so much better

[-]

KingJRZJ@reddit

I get the kids being a factor, however, in my area the pay start drivers off at 30 something an hour. The hours, to me, don't seem bad. From what I heard it was 4 on, a few hours off and then another 4. That doesn't excuse the bad driving. I don't remember any of my bus drivers putting us in danger when I was in school many years ago.

[-]

teachthisdognewtrick@reddit

Pay varies. A lot of school districts are starting to contract out the bus service, so the pay drops, benefits drop, and the private company soaks up the lions share of the revenue. If you can get a gig with a school district where you get the same benefits as the school employees it’s not a bad gig.

I stopped after kids brought me Covid, before anyone knew what it was. 5 weeks of an awful cold I thought originally.

[-]

Damn sucks, hope you're ok by now. The outside contracting would make a lot of sense. Haven't seen much of that in my area, but then again, I haven't seen much advertisement for drivers since before the holidays.

mike15835@reddit

RainierCamino@reddit

Who hires these drivers?

They need part-time drivers that are willing to put up with an underpowered bus full of screaming little hellions. They're hiring anyone who walks in the door and passes a DOT physical.

they go SIGNIFICANTLY slower than the flow of traffic.

A lot of states have laws about how fast buses can travel when in service. Typically 50-60mph. And I can tell you from personal experience they're slow as fuck anyway. If you get a city or school bus up to 70-75mph you are fucking gettin it lol.

I used to do some part-time work driving shuttle buses for college games. Gillig 40 foot low floors. Had something like a 300hp Cummins and 6 speed Allison in them (more power than most school buses iirc). Post-game we'd pack like 80 people onboard to take them back to the parking lots. Which involved about a 4 city block long 5-6% grade uphill. You'd start at 25-30mph and be lucky if you were doing 10mph at the top.

Will say that having dozens of drunk football fans cheer you and your shitty bus up a slight incline is fucking hilarious though.

[-]

Woahgold@reddit

School buses have their own lower speed limits by law.

[-]

RackingUpTheMiles@reddit

There's zero reason they should be doing 45 in a 70. I'm governed to 63 and I often pass them like they're not even moving. I've seen them doing 30 in a 65. I don't have kids, but I sure as hell wouldn't want them riding in a vehicle that's obstructing the flow of traffic by doing half the speed limit.

[-]

MickJCaboose@reddit

All cdl driving jobs have AI dashcams that will give you points for following too close (4 seconds or less). When people pass right in front of us we have to slow down to avoid getting points, this results in more people cutting us off and us slowing down more.

[-]

mrsclausemenopause@reddit

Many are slow AF while floored and trying. My old church bus was a bluebird with a GMC 6.5 diesel and it wouldn't do 65 on flat ground ever.

If you know anyone military that drove a humvee they will tell you how miserably slow they are on road and those had the exact same engine as many school busses.

[-]

xnetteom@reddit

That bus makes like 1000 ft/lb of torque and weighs 30,000+ pounds. It could have pushed those cars to the next town without even breaking a sweat. A few busted bumpers beats a bus full of dead kids any day.

Hot_Falcon8471@reddit

So the article says “The bus had stopped before the tracks, and then it started to go. A car had changed into the other lane, by the looks of it … I saw the bus pull forward, but not enough,” she said”

A witness said the bus driver did in fact stop at the tracks, then as it crossed over a vehicle in front of her changed lanes and pulled in front of the bus, preventing it from being able to fully cross the tracks. So then why is the bus driver being arrested and charged? The vehicle who blocked the bus should be taking some responsibility in this.

[-]

Environmental-Pear40@reddit

Seems like a bad routing. No idea why they'd put a bus in that situation. Driver is an idiot for not waiting on the car to clear the intersection before pulling up. I know that's illegal af with hazmat I assume it's similar with a passenger endorsement. Worse, it's kids which is definitely child endangerment. That was settled in court when that bus driver in Ohio got most the kids in her bus killed doing this. Driver is definitely in jail now at least and Will probably never hold a CDL again.

People make mistakes i get it but when you have other people's safety to worry about you better be making extra sure you don't make one...

[-]

DigEnvironmental7490@reddit

I ended up stuck in traffic diverted around that collision. They blocked off the roads for about a mile around it. People who hadn't heard what had happened assumed it was a dangerous chemical spill.

Supposedly the kids were so unruly on the bus that the driver couldn't hear anything and was just looking forwards with tunnel vision.

It was obvious there wasn't enough room for the bus to stop where it was so I couldn't understand why they didn't push out into traffic on Route 14 - the speed limit is only 35 mph there so a collision to the side of the front of the bus wouldn't have been anywhere near as bad as being hit by a 50-55 mph train.

After that I think I would have told the driver to let me off the fucking bus, I'll walk from here. I wouldn't spend another minute in that vehicle with that idiot still behind the wheel.

I have drove a bus for nearly 6 years and closest I came to a situation like this was when a car switched lanes in front of me but I barely had enough room to move to the front, luckily no train was nearby. I always make sure there is enough room for 1-2 buses in front of me but other drivers can make the situation dangerous.

As a retired tractor trailer driver, knowing the laws of a commercial driver, that Bus Driver should be TERMINATED ASAP! Especially they know the laws about Railroad Crossings!! Those kids probably are traumatized, maybe a firing squad will wake people up who harm our children. 🎤⬇️

There's a crossing similar to this in my city K15 Hwy and Pawnee St in Wichita,KS on the south side. When I did drive a bus it was always stop behind the track and wait for the light after making sure the track was clear. But this train track is the main north to south for BNSF and on a busy day it can see a train every 15 minutes.
