nope to be a school bus driver I need the "P" endorsement
 on my license which I no longer have; P is for passenger
 any vehicle that carries more than 15 people you must have a
B license with that P  tag on it and most of the places near me don't train for that
 anything smaller one needs just the "C" license with no tags
but the pay is crummy with those little vans or station wagons
 and since it is nearing summertime all I can hope for are day or summer camp runs
and this is tough since I didn't work for the bus companies all year
 they do usually pick from their own employees
 for the summer work knowing that they are already fully trained
what sucks now is I spent Saturday in the hospital with severe back and hip pain
 and am waiting for that new inflammation to die down before looking for work again
life sucks at times...

When I first went to college I was thinking of a CDL but after I found out about all the health problems those drivers go through I passed and didn't have the $3,500 cash to pay for the class - that's why I chose welding and it was the most fun I ever had. Now if I could find a flippin' job my life would be easier.

Itchigo:
The health problems drivers have are mainly due to smoking in the truck and not airing the truck out. You're breathing it in much more concentrated that way. Dru, many people like you have taken to driving because they can always have a job that way. Unfortunately wages suck because it's a "captured audience". Why pay for experience when you have 10 other people waiting who you can pay less?
