The purpose of this book, "SCHOOL BUS WISDOM," is to aid the new school bus driver as well as the seasoned school bus driver in keeping their attitude, skills, safety performance and their interaction with students positive, professional, and sharp. Every School Bus driver who transports a part of that precious cargo of 24 million students to and from schools across this vast nation every day, of each school year, will benefit from this book. This book has a massive Every School District throughout this country, as well as the contractors who serve School Districts which do not operate their own School Transportation. The audience also includes Parents and Guardians of students who ride a School Bus and the combination of material would be valuable information for the students themselves. Much of the information found in this book is not included in current school bus driving manuals or training materials. This is a collection of thoughts and ideas to help school bus drivers achieve positive results. This safety tool would make an excellent gift for all school bus drivers who qualify for a safety award at the end of the school year. Read a blog about the book through this
I have read this book many times and I would say that the first time I read the first time I read this book I did not have a dry-eye. The reason for that was because when I was at the age of 14 my own bus driver (who passed only 4 months before I passed my CDL to drive a bus) started teaching me what all it took to drive a bus. I would say that I thought I'd have more time to get more infinite words of wisdom from my own bus driver. Sadly, plans changed in that department.
But I would say that when I found this book and finally had the chance to read it (as I started driving) I could point out to a bunch of pieces of wisdom offered that I was taught years and years ago. This book means a lot and I would put it in the same category of importance on being a required reading right next to the manual I was able to track down for the bus that I drive.
I would highly recommend this book to new and seasoned School bus drivers and other drivers to give the non-bus drivers a chance to see what all goes through the minds of bus drivers when they are on the roads.
