How to make 350+ a day as a bus driver: cherich-frances-barber-s-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-a-high-paid-bus-driver

I love it when people post their line of work, it’s like take your child to work day all over as adults. It’s also nice cause some may not be content and these insightful videos may encourage profession changes.

Driving a empty bus gotta be the most peaceful and enjoyable time making money.

This is cute and all, but try driving transit buses like me for 15 years. That’s a whole new planet. People will verbally and physically assault you, disrespect you, and many people feel entitled. Furthermore, most people don’t appreciate what you do for them. I would say driving charter busses is where it’s at. Less stress!

3:28 because of course they dont, MTA is public transit, and you pretty much nailed it. As long as youre operating no more than 150 AIR MILES from base, you can run up to 14 hours driving. Thats pretty much any public transit. That said its become abundantly clear that public transit, especially the support side and mechanics is right for me

Praying for your safety and success!!! Thanks for the video!!!

​@@bessemerboy7135If you're in Alabama you can look up Groome Transportation. I was a CDL driver for them in Georgia and Alabama. The hourly pay isn't much, but I made a good amount of money in cash tips. Especially around the holidays. Sometimes I'd get $400+ from one trip to the Airport. I only left because I relocated to the west coast. But I actually loved working for them.

​​@@bessemerboy7135Btw, I went through Greyhound to get my CDL and left. I'm not a fan of new drivers working for Greyhound because they throw you over the road on long trips asap. I've driven public transportation and school buses as well. I think the easiest way to get the CDL (the class B and, P & S endorsement) is through the school district.

I’m currently a truck driver for a company in Southern New Jersey. Worked with them for 7 years so far and had my CDL class A for 15 years. I plan on moving on to driving coach buses part time to make retirement pocket change. I’ve always loved buses too.

Have a great day if driving mis it so much take care watch out for those crazy 4 wheeler

Hey, I just started watching your video, I was wondering if you are allowed to share what program that is running on the handheld you used to do your pre-trip? Or at least what type of handheld it is? I saw that it actually measures how long until your break and other information, so I thought that was pretty cool and figured I would ask.
