No story here but a fun pic none the less!
Looks like the neighbor kid brought his Hotwheels school bus while everyone else has Tonka trucks!

Funny, that Osceola incident happened not long after I passed that location. I should see the mud tracks later today. They don't pay the drivers enough to stay and put up with everything. Almost all the district vehicles have signs showing they need bus drivers.

How much do they get paid and why is it such a bad job? Granted driving a truck that could carry four of the buses that is behind it(in the pic) without breaking a sweat has its hazards.

Stressful job and they pay about what convenience store workers make out where you live.

Here you get payed $68 a day for anywhere from 1.5 to 4 hrs of work.
All medical, prescriptions, eye glasses, dental, ect, are payed for.

Here the drivers pay for benefits in a choice of expensive packages. Not worth it. Most get their cdl, a little income and move on to something without 30+ screamers + 8 autistic + 2-3 runny nose brats. Add that to the parents that want to yell at the drivers for being late or early and having no way to stop if you suddenly have to use a bathroom.

Driving a school bus in Florida has to be one of the WORST JOBS anywhere.
