Wheelchair Accessible Transit

As a school bus driver, I have accumulated a wealth of positive work experience over the years. I take immense pride in ensuring the safety and well-being of the students I transport. My commitment to punctuality and reliability is unwavering, as I understand the critical role I play in the daily routines of these young passengers.

I've developed strong communication skills, fostering a respectful and supportive environment on my bus. Building trust with both students and parents has been a rewarding aspect of my work. Moreover, I consistently maintain my vehicle, conducting pre-trip inspections and adhering to all safety regulations, guaranteeing a safe journey every day.

My dedication to the job extends beyond the driver's seat, as I actively engage in ongoing training to enhance my skills and stay updated on best practices. This holistic approach to school bus driving has allowed me to create a positive and secure experience for all involved.

They’ll give you kids outside of the route of other kids then you’ll run late to pick up and to drop off and then you get no overtime, no extra for going home late even when it’s their fault with the schedule they make you you’ll have to suffer the consequences. Tell parents will blame you, thinking you’re just a late driver but in actuality every kid us within close proximity then they’ll add one that messes the whole route up. The dispatchers they’re don’t relay information to each other or drivers you’ll hear mostly from them if they need you to do lunch runs begging you. A parent will tell them “hey i’m going to bring my kids all off this week” they won’t tell you and you be going for that kid everyday and they’ll tell you wait at the address unnecessarily. Good to communicate with parents. 

Wheelchair Accessible Transit is a Transportation Company. They have Taxi services, wheelchair accessible buses and school buses. The work environment for me consist of the school bus. 
A typical day of work includes am pick-up of students , lunch routes and pm drop off of students. This includes students with special needs such as Autistic and Down Syndrome. I'm responsible for providing a safe and nurturing environment within the bus while students are aboard. 
Hardest part of the job for me is entering a cold bus on a cold morning and a hot bus on a very hot and humid day. The best part of me is having the students on board. I've decorated the bus with drawings from the students and also decorations for occasions, example Halloween. Christmas, St. Paddy's Day etc.

I would not advise anyone to work here unless you’re older and you’re not looking for any career advancement because there is none. Regional manager is putting friendship before work. They treat employees like garbage, use indecent language and no matter how hard you work it is never valued. Don’t expect loyalty because they would prefer to replace you 10 times over before actually investing in you as an employee. High stress environment because they are always understaffed and expect you to do 6 persons job, and forget about pay increases. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I don't think there is a good part.  They lie to you, they constantly rip off their employees.  It's the worst job I've had!  I've been in the school bus industry a long time, this is the bottom of the barrel.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never knowing how many hours your actually getting paid for.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible, everyone is miserable there.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Getting up at 330 am and coming home anywhere between 530 and 730

What is the best part of working at the company?
Managers care about drivers,
Best wages and opportunity fit growth 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing stresses me out
Have great support 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent.
Friendly environment 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Pick up and drop off kids safely to school and then head to the office for extra work back in the afternoon to pick up and drop the kids off safely back home

Training is not done properly for new people. They make you pay for books in training and the training is not paid. The management is hard to deal with. They force you to do routes far from home. Do not pay accurate. Always short hours. They buses they use are not safe! Old,broken, not inspected by shop when tags expire. They shop sends you away if you have bus issues they say thier too bus to fix. Office staff always new people. I feel bad for people who put thier kids on a WAT Bus!

- A lot of confusion on radio and delays to get ahold of dispatch sometimes, patience is key here because most times serious situations do occur

- Great trainers/mentors 

- Quite a lot of mechanical issues with vehicles, so thoroughly check over your bus in the morning and when you receive it first.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY the most mismanaged company ever, they dont care about their employees and often do unsafe things and put drivers in harm's way with faulty equipment that does not get fixed properly, cuts corners to save a buck

I have never worked at a more disorganized and dishonest place. Do not believe a word they say. 
They tell you that they are paying you one thing and then tel you that is not what they are paying you. They overwork amd underpay as well as no appreciation for the stressful work you do. Horrible experience all around.
