I've been a school bus driver for 30 years here in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Over the past 30 years I've had all kinds of different buses assigned to me, Internationals, Ford's, Chevys, GMCs, Blue Birds, Freightliners and by far my favorite bus is the International. All had features that I liked but overall the International suits my personal driving preferences better. Most all of mine were 5 speed trans until just a few years ago. Things have evolved so much over the years. This fleet seems to have pretty new buses throughout and well maintained. Nice video!
My district has Cummins CEs in 2007 to 2009 model years. Then to 2010, we started getting the CEs with Maxxforce DT engines and then back to cummins in 2015. We're now supposed to get Gasoline V8 CEs.

That's just a lack of proper maintenance. There is a special fluid you put in the tank to prevent the condensation in the tank from freezing. Also, what do fuel lines have to do with the brakes?

My school uses a variety of buses ranging from Amtran T44E's to quite a few Navistar RE200's and CE200's, plus a few Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C1's and a good bit if Saf-T-Liner C2's. There are also a few Blue Bird buses (I believe they are Blud Bird Visions, but I don't know).
Because school buses sound like trucks,I usually expect the horn to sound like that of a truck, but some buses have car horns. In addition, I felt like my district would install hella horns on their buses.
Hey! I'm actually a high school student, and I've recently gotten the urge to want to drive a school bus for some reason. Is it hard (or easy) driving one? Is there anything you can compare it to to give non-bus drivers an idea of how it is? Thanks!

LOL out of all the buses that took off before this one, you get that one Thomas bus that's different then the rest.... I don't know why but I find that hilarious
Do they still have IC CE buses or do they have different ones now? Because I know this bus was a lease bus that was part of the 5 year lease program. That this company had or still has.
Looks like there making all school buses automatic now back in the 80s and 90s most school buses were manual I used to watch my bus driver Dave he drove us to vo tech and picked us up from vo tech when I was in high school it was crazy watching him have to shift so many times
Preston Farmer you know the cowl end on the buses are the same ones found on the straight truck counterpart so.. perhaps it shares everything in the engine compartment
I covered my visor to actually block the sun from blinding me, at inspection i got a big NO NO for doing that and not allowed. I like whats safer??? One thing i hate on these ic's is the outdated slider driver windows that tic, creak, and rattle ya to go nuts.

How can you tell the diff between maxxforce DT and Cummins except for looking at the logo right next to the front door. I do not know if there are Cummins IC CE busses in my fleet, only Cummins in my fleet are the SAFT-Liners
I ride bus 15 at Clinton Massie School District. I think the bus I ride has a Cummins in it. Does bluebird use Cummins? Im a new bus person its ok if you think its a stupid question

I wish it was a 2015 year model not a 2016 because where I use to live in Juneau AK first student had 15 1995 Blue Bird TC 2000 School Buses that were built from May-July of 1995 but a 1996 year model. I like to go by the MFR year because I don't like the way they change things like this bus was built in Jan of 2015 but a 2016 year model. Its suppose to be a 2015 year model from June 2014-June 2015 or from September 2014-Septmember 2015 not a 2016 model. The reason why they are doing this because they are trying to make money of faster by doing the year model model ahead then just going by the MFR year from September 2014-September 2015 year model plus its making it harder to keep track of thing like parts and other things too as well. I also wanted to tell you that people find buses and if its built in December of 1992 its a 1992 year model when its suppose to be a 1993 year model from September of 1992 to September of 1993. People should be concentrating the same year model on cars buses or other stuff or be smart about it then just doing the year model from January to December of 1992 when its suppose to be a 1993 year model from September of 1992 to September of 1993. Thats what people use to be before people could get things all messed up on thing for the next decade so If anybody find a International IC School bus that was built in January 2009 its a 2009 year model not!!! a 2010 year model ok. If this bus was built in May 2010 its a 2010 year model. Or if this bus was built in December of 2010 its a 2011 year model. Or if this bus was built in April 2012 its a 2012 year model. Or if this bus was built in August of 2012 its a 2013 year model. Ok. The 6.0l Powerstroke Engines in International IC School Buses were from 2005-2007. In 2007 it was an option for the choice of the 6.0l or the 6.4l Powerstroke Diesel Engine in 2007 not 2008!!. The 6.4l Powerstroke Diesel Engine V8 was from 2007-2014. The 6.7l Cummins was introduced as a replacement from 2015-present!! Ok have a great day sir.
