| Mornin all I have a driver who gets here just in time to drive his route like he got here at 7:08 the bus left at 7:11 must have been a fast pretrip. What do you all do in cases such as this? |

| Are you the boss? If so, watch their pretrip and call them on it. If not the boss, report it to the boss. A 2 minute pretrip is not good enough. This person could be putting lives in danger. |

happens here all the time, and just gets a laugh from the boss. Driver also has never once swept his bus, has soda all over the place, smokes in the bus when the kids aren't on, over sleeps all the time, takes off at a moments notice, backs into things and never once has anything been done.
Frustrating because I show up to work every day, get 100% on the state inspections year after year, sub drive when i'm sick and boy does the bossman jump me when I park in the wrong spot or forget to tighten a sun visor.
I just keep hope that one day, in a land far far away my good reputation will pay off. |

| I feel your pain. My bus has been down all week and I keep getting buses that are dirty, garbage cans full, no fuel, should be down for mechanical issues to use for routes. I end up cleaning/fueling when I should be leaving and running late. We still have drivers not doing pre/post trips and somehow they are still employed. |

| I have to say we are really lucky in my district. Good drivers who listen. I don't know about everyone else but we are hurting for drivers. So even if one was slacking off, as long as it wasn't a major infraction we would let it slide. |
