Blizzards, screaming kids, and a 40-foot “long car.” Ever wondered how bus drivers actually keep cool when roads ice over and the radio won’t shut up? Dive into winter driving, behavior hacks, and one spicy news story. Listen now—what grinds your gears most?

A simple “good morning” can flip a whole bus route. We unpack greeting tactics, seating strategy, and why radio chatter drives us nuts. Hit play and tell us: what’s one small habit that changed your workday?

Snow day or not, we still roll. We talk safety under whiteouts, the politics of calling closures, and a driver fired over a language sign. Tune in, weigh the nuance, and share: what’s your call on that decision?



“These are our stories from the driver’s seat—our opinions only, not our  employer’s or school district’s. Student safety and privacy always come first, so no names, faces, routes, or ‘you know that kid’ details ever make it on the podcast.
