    Hey guys, new here, been lurking but this is my first post, hope this is the correct forum for this....

    But anyways, ive been hauling milk for about 4 years now, the 24/7 ness of it is starting to get to me...

    Ive been tossing around the idea of driving a school bus. I got a clean MVR, no felonys, etc etc.

    But my question is, can i get a passenger/bus endorsement (in michigan) and still keep my CDL A and tanker endorsements? Id like to stay on hauling milk in the summer or during breaks and things, part time.

    Any input? Thanks in advance!

    You also have to undergo a very thorough background check too before you get a school bus driving job too

    I figured about the background check. Im not worried.

    As far as the shuttin doors on heads, i remember back in elementary school our nasty old woman driver would smash the brakes if you were standing up...

    Doubt thatd fly these days

    They have cameras on them busses now and doing any wrong actions will be met by the law enforcement quickly, hate driver facing cameras? But that is good to get some trouble makers banned quickly.

    I dont like them in the semi, mainly cause i dont have a bluetooth, i dont text but ill be ###### if the wife calls and i ignore it when im on a deserted 2 lane at 3 am.

    Obviously in a bus i wouldnt care so much about missing it lol.
