I am an employee of one of the largest school bus transportaion companies. I've recently experienced a hea related illness while driving the school bus. coencidently, I was driving alone, but, had there been air conditioning, it would have made my job a lot easier to continue.May 10th, 2012Someone from Cockeysville, MD writes:
Driving since 1988 yes I can relate I thanked God when we got air doors but it was too late for my hands, I was told that my arthritic hands were not from driving a school bus but I know that every nice day I personally put down every single window and put them back up and that's when the windows were devils to put down and up, and when they put vents in the top of the bus, they didn't have a nice handle on them like they do now just a lip, wouldn't you know that my knuckles were injured from pulling on the lips of the vents to shut them, but it wasn't due to the vents, I was predestined to have arthritis,yea right thank God for the handles,the air doors and the windows being easier to put up and down.And by the way I have had numerous buses through the years and there was one in peticular that I remember that will give you chills, It was a diesel bus and it always had black shooty dust on the dash the window ect., any way it was pasted on to two other drivers after me, they both died, one had cancer....makes you wonder.I'm grateful for still being here even if my hands are not the same and sad that the two other drivers are not.REPORT COMMENTS

How is a school driver supposed to drive sports trips for up to 4.5 hours then sit with bus in 100 degree heat waiting for games to be done and then drive 4.5 hours back home. Games last from 1.5 to all day. Don't forget to stop for food both ways. The bus is of course hotter than the outside temperature. NO AIR CONDITIONING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. A shortage of school bus drivers. YA THINK????REPORT COMMENTS

My father drives a school bus and the other day he took a picture of the themometer. It read 123 degrees when he started his afternoon trip. It is way too hot for the bus drivers and kids to be stuck on the bus with no a/c. If was driving a bus full of dogs, they would have had a/c a long time ago! Don't wait until someone dies before this issue is resolved, it will be too late then.REPORT COMMENTS
