    His 1st hour with the lady instructing him.. he never sat in the school bus yet.. but came home saying. (with great expression) You just don't know how BIG that school bus is.. He's never really thought about it before.. I think he feels like he'll be driving a house around.. I would assume everyone feels this way.. at 1st .. He has drove The block truck at work - since he has his Permit now.. it is NOT as large as a school bus !

    Both are easy tests, the school bus test are more common sense than the passenger test.

    A school bus endorsement is a good back up plan. There is nothing wrong with the job and now the But. But, in this day and age there are too many things that can go wrong. Kids out of control. Kids lying with no way to defend yourself. Too many head aches for too little pay. You need to prepare yourself to be very supportive.

    Chinatown asked about "living" on a school bus income...

    I have no idea how much a school bus driver makes.. as I have explained.. he NEEDS a CDL.. he has no truck to test in.. so he has to learn on a school bus.. he is not even sure he will have a boss soon at his job so he doesnt' want to get involved asking him to use that block truck.. it is needed...plus really no one is there to train him...very strange situation we are in . but this will get the man that Class B.. and that's our aim right now.. nothing more...

    well he got his Passenger and School bus written tests today.. he passed.. now just the driving part yet to go..
    his instructor handed him this huge list to study with all the things the DMV will be testing him on (or a private testing site)... still not sure what to do there... do these private ones always get you in QUICKLY.. he wants to get his CDL fast once he has the required time in.. he backed up a bus today.. 1st time behind the wheel..
