School Bus Banter
Climb aboard for a ride you’ve never taken before. School Bus Banter pulls back the yellow curtain on the real world of school bus driving — the early mornings, the chaos, the heart, and the hilariously unexpected moments that only happen when you’re responsible for dozens of tiny humans before 8 a.m.
Hosted by two veteran drivers who’ve seen it all (and probably cleaned it up), this show mixes on-the-road stories, behind-the-scenes insights, safety know-how, and the kind of humor you only earn by surviving years of middle-school field trips. Whether you drive a bus, used to ride one, or just enjoy stories that bounce between outrageous and relatable, you’re in the right seat.
Start the engine. Close the door. Let’s roll.

Kids Become CSI Over A Red Light Runner
We swap real tactics for safer routes and calmer buses, from inspection prep and decor rules to simple engagement tools that change behavior. A stop-arm runner and a tragic Maine case anchor a frank talk on mirror checks, slow roll-offs, and building time buffers.
• email and Facebook group invites for driver stories
• electrical failures on newer buses and field support
• inspection expectations, window clutter, and compliance
• art displays and whiteboard prompts to lower noise
• free birthday bags, buy nothing sourcing, allergy care
• stop-arm runner incident with student witness teamwork
• camera limits, report follow-ups, and documentation
• Maine fatality, mirror discipline, eyes on the door, slow driving
• practical habits that reduce risk and stress
“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.
