Awesome video, and love that VT365 Engine from that 2012 IC CE! My district used to have the 2012 IC CE School Buses operated by First Student, but they had the MaxxForce 7.
Are y’all stupid,he didn’t run the stop sign. Just because you pass it a little bit doesn’t mean you ran a stop sign. You have to get a better view of the road so you can check for cars safely
lots of bus MPH gauges are off by at least 3-12 miles per hour than what it says and only have to be updated during Major maintenance (Mainly busses that have been driven for more than around 5-10 years)
@@grant-gz8fw I noticed that too. In a video from 03-12 productions I saw that the 2010 IC CEs he drove the speedometers were off by 3-4 mph. 65 was really 63 Mph.
We too lost our contract in FL so STA stepped in and didn’t give a shit about the drivers they gave us new buses but that isn’t enough for me to stay so I left.
My favrote bus is a c2 but a ce is a very close second because that is what most of our county uses and we had a spare ce one time and it had a either a maxxforce dt or a maxxforce 7 I don’t remember what engine it had and I have never rode on one so the engine sound amazing very loud and it was one of the most unique bus rides I have ever had
@@yitznewton yeah haha but also knowing they have a bunch of buses going through there eveyday you’d think they change it or sowmthing or maybe it’s never been an issue with accidents haha
@@yitznewton apparently, that engine didn’t go so well for Ford. After that, that’s when the 6.7 Powerstroke was introduced for the Super Duty trucks. Unlike the previous engines The 6.7 is actually an engine by Ford themselves in house.
I assume this is auto-transmission, if so - Prior to a steep curve or downgrade do you have to put your foot on the service brake and hold in order to downshift to say gear 1 or 2? or is that not even necessary and do you simply just shift the gear shifter into a lower gear? thanks! & this town looks kind of nice during autumn.
The commuter coaches work like you describe, there's an engine brake that comes on when you apply the service brake, and the transmission selects 2nd gear. The school buses, you can manually select a lower gear, but it's usually not necessary unless it's a long downgrade
Kids dont get the ENTIRE DAY OFF for thanksgiving??? Public holidays like those in Spain, we get FULL days off, sometimes 3, the day before, THE HOLIDAY, and the day after.. to spend time with family, but USA, kids only get ''early dismissal?'' Also, nice to see some USA school buses have seatbelts for the kids
Nothing on your dash buddy. Stop at the stop sign…while you are at it, stay in your lane and 25mph doesn’t mean 37mph.
go on with your banana split looking self go drive a school bus while you talk about it so much
Pin of shame lol but, I mean he's not wrong

@@yitznewton I didn’t know, lol. They sound so 100% similar to each other
@@stevenkbuses a couple of my early bus videos were on a VT365
@@yitznewton Awesome, the VT365 Engine is my favorite when I was in Elementary School, and it still is today.
I don’t miss that hydraulic brake sound lol. Buses need air brakes.
Man them buses have such a unique quick rasp of the throttle like no other.
good driving,, especially not blocking intersection
Bus from my favorite era! (2008-2013) model year (2007-2012) build year
The Maxxforce 7 examples have a great turning radius... for all the sore points of that engine lol
Most of the ones from my county (2011 and 2012 models) run great! Every single one I rode on.
@@IceTheFanDude2379 mine had 2012 with maxxforce but they broke down all of them so the oldest we have are 2017 and the newest are 2022
You must have lemons also…. Jeez that fleet is a little too new
@@IceTheFanDude2379 we had hydraulics ones and every time you step on the gas black clouds of smoke come out of the exhaust
I know I’m bored when I be clicking on videos like this
So weird to see the roads I usually drive on from a busses perspective
ah good ol Lincoln Park.. I remember when it used to be LaidLaw Bus.. My aunt was an Aide for them for years until it switched over to First Student
Yeah, we still have odd and ends around with Laidlaw naming (folding chairs, etc.)
First Student is garbage
love the sound of that diesel engine and the hydraulic brakes
Nice hydraulic brakes and VT365 engine I like it
Its not a vt365 engine its a maxxforce 7 engine
Oh ok
Happy Thanksgiving!
School on thanksgiving day much less that week is wild
nice mf7, i love the sound of them
Feels like home 😊🤗
You know what's crazy my bus driver can drive a 61 seater bus down a road full of potholes doin 100 km/h dodging every single one
16:10 love the check and charter mode voice in the bus up front the C2 did charter mode at the same time you did lol if you listen carefully
Jinx!
@@yitznewton They owe you something then
Guess that wasn’t a stop sign ole boy ran, that’s probably 40 points on his cdl for sure.🤦🏼♂️
womp womp
The first bus ran it

I use to work at First Student -Canton, Mississippi but they lost their contract. Then Durham came in I worked for them a few months and walked away.
Ahhh, Durham

Awesome video! 👌
I love your videos keep making great videos
Great
My district parks their buses 2 minutes away from the middle schools, high schools and elementary schools.
Half day of school on Thanksgiving day no way in hell
That turn at the beginning where you have to go into an incoming lane is so dangerous
Commercial vehicle life

bruh my school bus has the same tablet as u and we in a different state probably lol
Do a Child Check-Mate key fob demo if you can.
Interesting, I haven't actually seen that product - we don't have any
@@yitznewton I've done many key fob videos over the last year. I actually own a few key fobs myself and some CCM systems.
I love this video 1:11
the buses where i live run stop signs all together.
Nice drive
Do i think you should make more videos of your school bus for all the seasons of wether
I'm curious, is that a V8 underneath?
Yes, Maxxforce 7 aka Powerstroke 6.4

This was early dismissal for Thanksgiving break, i.e. Wednesday afternoon - I'll update the description
Air seat leak much?
Ehh this bus doesn't have air
the bus driver this your 2nd generation ic ce
At the end of the video, what was the charter mode thing? It looked like part of the security camera. Why are there different modes?
Charter mode allows people to move around in the bus when parked, without setting off the intruder alarm
@@yitznewton Buses have intruder alarms now? When I was a kid those alarms wouldn't have lasted two days due to the kids moving around constantly.
School on thanksgiving is wild
Ah, this was early dismissal Wednesday before Thanksgiving
Love the sound of tgat screamer
Hey im just wondering, what is that buzzing sound when decelerating?
If you mean like at 8:54 - that is an electric motor that acts as a backup to make sure there is enough pressure in the hydraulic brakes
Oh okay@@yitznewton
Drive Skills 😍👏🥰
Sounds like a ford in that engine
Maxxforce 7 aka Powerstroke 6.4
Today it is 26 Jan the watch is 11:27 sunday 2025
6.4 Powerstroke Maxxforce 7
What is that sound everyone you press on the brakes?
it's a backup pump to ensure the brakes always have enough pressure
