Show Notes

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...early in the morning!

The local school district, and maybe every school district, is looking for bus drivers as the new school year approaches.

If you want to be a school bus driver, this is the podcast for you!

Harold & Mike have about 40 hours experience between them as school bus drivers but are now retired.

Imagine being by yourself, driving with 60 kids behind your back, while navigating snowy roads, and watching for deer and elk. What could go wrong?

Stories abound. Some funny and some not so funny.

Bottom line, it is very worthwhile...but you have to love kids.

Harold and Mike talk about how the job could be better. How the job has changed over the years. And what it takes to be a good school bus driver.
