So we are all aware, do we know which inspector wrote up this violation?  Second off many spare buses have this problem.  Don't settle with the shop just pushing the window up because one bump the window falls down crooked and its your violation to explain.... or pay.....documentation is the key.

How does that song go?   Oh we're movin' on up...to the east side....to a de-lux apartment in the skyyyyyy!

about 45 drivers....now

Very nice pix and probably well deserved.

The OPT website has tons of regs regarding trips and the schools are not within the guidelines on most of them.  Interesting readings but don't complain about it and be regarded as a malcontent.   

These are just some OPT regs, why aren't these enforced?      

*June 17 is the last day for field trips for the 2010-11 school year.
*Trips requiring more than five (5) vehicles may not be scheduled on Fridays due to limited vehicle availability.
*Schools are responsible for fees associated with tolls and parking. *Schools must confirm all assigned trips with the bus company dispatcher two days before the scheduled trip.
*Neither OPT nor the bus companies can be responsible for routing field trips. To ensure proper travel, schools must provide bus drivers with directions to and from the field trip site.
* No trips to MSG, Radio City, Staten Island Ferry
*All buses MUST be back at the schools by 1:30

That position is a thankless spot.  Everbody always needs something (including myself), and it is not until that point when they're really appreciated.  I'm not talking about big needs either, because it's the little things that are appreciated most.  Also something to remember is that Ernie was out for some time, due to illness,  and Andy was bombarded with things.  His easy going style and experience in handling things makes that team hard to beat.  Their box is definitely checked. 

C'mon now........this is how rumors get started.   Bus assignments are a touchy subject, but that sounds ridiculous.  They were probably called in for some gas related issue,  and as the story gets passed around, so do the facts.  I'll be very surprised if what you say is true, but you never know.    

If you have a trip? 

I would like to say good job by the yard guys this week.  It was very hard this week with "solid ice" on the windshields, and solid ice on the ground.  To move all those buses in the back, and second row seemed very difficult in conjunction with drivers trying to get out quickly, to be on time.   For those drivers with special ed runs and guys who make it in early,  c'mon in the back sometime and take a look.....arghhhhhhhhhhh!  Just my opinion. 

Wow, I actually did it!  Great to have this board back.  You did a great job Buzz.   

Write down Buzz's directions on sheet of paper and follow to the "t".  Remember to use your EXACT user name as before including caps or lower case, dashes etc.  if you are keeping your previous name. If I did it anybody can!
