Bus Driver

With GPS services one can easy travel in the entire world independently. Say them that by using such gadgets the only question that you would have is where to reach and not how to reach.

Staying awake at night is not something natural for a human being so night shifts are obviously more difficult than day shifts. However, if one gets sufficient rest and sleep during the day, night shifts are not too difficult to manage. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate my ability to drive a bus at night at 8.

Time management is very important for a driver whether it is regarding delivering things at places or taking the passengers to their places. A good driver should know to manage the time well so that he can do maximum work in minimum time.

Class C driver license is issued for driving vehicles lesser than 26,000 pounds in weight. Examples of such vehicles are trucks, buses, vans, etc.

When you drive a bus, you will be required to react to the actions of other drivers very quickly. Your interviewer will ask you this question in order to gauge your critical thinking skills which could save the lives of your passengers in harrowing situations. If you have ever been involved in such a situation as it applies to driving a bus, provide a brief but thorough explanation. Otherwise, reach outside of your bus driving skills to find a different situation in which you were able to make good snap decisions in an emergency.

My attention to detail and ability to assess situations and calm deminour are a great asset to your team.

Yes I would be very willing and enjoy the opportunity to participate in field trips.

I am use to getting up early. That would not be a problem.

I would safely pull the bus over, secure the bus, remove the key and give the student that got sick a pan if available in case they get sick again. I would have the student move to the front of the bus, most likely let the school know that this student was sick, so they could contact the parent. Clean the area as best I could to get back of the road and get the students to school.

Yes, I have. I use the GPS to chart short and safe routes to my destinations.

I would safely pull my bus over, secure it and remind the students that riding the bus is a privilege and the expected behavior while on the bus. If it was bad enough, I would call school administrator.

I am alert and aware of the responsibility I have to keep these children safe. I have a terrific driving record. I am a defensive driver. I am able to keep calm and think things through in stressful situations.

I would hope that everyone is trained fully, but every company is different. for myself I have 9 years of training.

You will generally be asked this question only if you are applying for a position driving a city bus. In larger cities, buses run well into the night—sometimes even 24 hours a day. You may be given a midnight shift due to your lack of seniority, or scheduling may require that you work swing shifts. This is not the time to discuss your personal scheduling needs, however. Replying with a statement such as “I do not mind working nights or weekends and I am always available” will suffice. This is exactly what your potential employer wants to hear since your flexibility will help the bus system stay on schedule.

A driver may have to halt at places which will be according to the passenger, or sometimes the passenger will be an irritating one who would keep on talking with the driver. So the driver has to be patient and keep focusing on his driving.

Answer them with an example of such similar situation you may have faced before.

This is a pure behavioral question. This is your opportunity to shine and speak something good about yourself. Go prepared with some good example to answer this question.

You can give an example that you had to deliver something very urgent and how your time management skills helped you to do the task on time.

I would have no choice but to stop the bus and intervene to stop the fight immediately. I would then make sure that the perpetrators are seated furthest away from each other for the rest of the ride.

Stop bus, listen to them and have them contact bus lot. Do not let child off bus.

The 1ra thing is try to convince the student to stop the problem. And sit the student next to the driver sit if not call my supervisor and explain the situation io n.

Not experienced, but have used a CB before.
