    ####, I'm sorry to hear that. What exactly do you think you're having problems with when backing? Oversteering? Understeering? Confusing which way to turn the wheel? Straightening out? Set up?

    Maybe someone here could help you out!

    this is why you dont go to some cheap fly by night school

    If you pay a school to get an education and a licence then they should be doing as much as they can to fulfill that contract but thats my opinion.

    One other option you can go to a trucking company who has a training program, yeah you might have to fulfill a contract for the training but you might get a better chance and at least have a job when its done.

    You couldn't pay me enough to haul a bunch of brats around in a school bus.

    Yep....I would be in trouble real quick....main reason being they aren't taught anything at home for the most part , and no way that you can discipline them....

    A friend of mine quit trucking to be a school bus driver. He was fired after the first trip because he had 3 children left over and didn't know where they lived. The children refused to talk to him so he took them back to the school and found a teacher still there to help; then he was fired.

    one thing i have found about the kids there are some really good kids,and yes there are a few not so good ones. kids today are really smart they are just smarter in different way than older people were taught in school. so its not as bad as you would think. b careful out there

    Same here. See these videos of kids attacking the bus driver ? It's like a routine problem.
