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

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?
