      I am contemplating doing long haul or bus driving. I wouldnt say i have a fear of heights but driving my regular car near a sheer cliff does freak me out and i cant imagine doing it in a semi with winds. Not to mention driving back east or dealing with those road conditions. But the idea of long drives early mornings and sleeping in the truck sound so appealing! But i think i will start with a school buss to get the hang of driving a large vehicle then move from there.

    8:48 That puts your bus in high idle cleaning out your Dissel Particulate Filter or DPF. Every 300 miles, depending on the vehicle you might want to do a park regen. However, if you ignore the DPF message overtime the performance of the bus will degrade to prevent damage to the engine.

    Fellow school bus driver!!! I'm glad to see another driver so enthusiastic about their job. I have been driving for over 5 years and have absolutely loved it! I'll probably retire a bus driver. I have driven for a special needs school with a wheelchair bus, a bilingual Ukranian school and a special needs route at a public school in a small bus and all of the kids have been amazing, even though there were hiccups every now and then. I also save money on daycare because my kid can come with me to work!
    A lot of the time, your demeanor, your attitude and your interaction with the kids can influence how the kids treat you. There will always be misbehaving kids, but if you treat them with respect, most of them will treat you with respect back, at least in my experience.
    You, sir, definitely seem like a guy the kids would enjoy interacting with but can be firm if rules are being broken. I'm glad you enjoy being a driver.

    Both of my parents were school bus drivers. My dad took me to the bus garage every day, at 5:00 then I just hung out until he was done with everything and we left on the route and I rode his bus to and from school. You are on point brother. Have a good and safe one.

    This video is amazing not only for bus safety but shows us what bus drivers go through. The small windows popping out is something my school districts doesn’t teach which should be taught as well as the front window. I also was never taught how to open the top flaps so I’m very happy that I found this video as I am more prepared as a student who rides the school bus everyday that I’m in person.

    The "parked regen" switch is for regeneration of the Diesel Particulate Filter. Basically, it will high idle the engine and may inject extra shots of fuel on the exhaust stroke to get the catalyst up to a temperature that will clean out the soot in the DPF. Can take about 20-60 minutes, but is very important to do at certain intervals

    • @umakemerandy3669
      @umakemerandy3669 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @michaeljandreau7341
      @michaeljandreau7341 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Please excuse my ignorance but what is a "bus license"? Here where i drive we need the Class B (Heavy, Straight Truck) C.D.L., the School Bus Endorsement and the Passenger Endorsement to drive school buses. But every state is different. My cousin in texas says you need what i mentioned plus C.P.R. training and classes every 6 weeks. Thanks in advance for any explanation.

    • @saladking2370
      @saladking2370 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My bad for the confusion, a class B with a passenger endorsement. I kept it vague since requirements vary state to state.

    8:42 The parked regen switch is for if your DPF light is on, steady or flashing. If the DPF light is solid on, you can either drive the bus at normal speeds and it will do an automatic regen as you are driving (no driver intervention required) or you can initiate a parked regen. If the light is flashing, you must do a parked regen. Yes it does take a while to do, but it definitely saves drivers from having to pull over and shut the bus off because eventually, the red stop engine light will come on if the DPF is full and no regen is done. To do a parked regen, the DPF light must be on or flashing, you must have the parking brake set, and the transmission must be in either neutral or park. Hope this helps!
    As far as the inhibit regen switch, that prevents the DPF from doing its job (stops all automatic regens) and should never be left on when driving. Only use this switch when parking in areas where there is a risk of fire.
