Just WHY?? I'd have to have the worst case of diarrhea known to man  to ever take a shit in the men's room at Arthur Kill, (which hasn't happened yet in over 30 years), but many a driver has been caught in the dark with their pants down and nobody to turn the timer dial. Two 8 foot fluorescent bulbs can't use one ten-thousandth of the electricity used in that place.

WHY??

Are you at top pay?  Why would you be getting unemployment now?

It's official!

Umm ... a little late to the party, no?     

(Notice the date of the post you replied to.)

Please note: The dates that drivers and matrons start new runs has been moved up a week ...

The general ed runs are hanging.

I should mention, as pointed out to me by one of our delegates, only Pioneer and Consolidated made the week of Sept. 1 the first guaranteed week this year. Other companies started with the week of Sept. 8 and the last week of school will be their 39th guaranteed week.

Seen today on TikTok ...

You're welcome!

Do you or does anybody know the circumstances? Or how it happened?

Quote from: PROUD MEMBER on September 26, 2025, 11:16:11 AMIt's no different than any other job. If a cop shoots someone that appeared to have a gun then all cops are scum. If a sanitation worker throws ur garbage pail in the street then all sanitation workers are scum. If you're  a person that believes in President Trump then all of you are scum. Etc., etc..
Only a few people look at the actual circumstances. Only a few people actually care. But many people are just negative.
What a shame!!!

I was told there were no kids or matron on the bus. Driver (very new) went to hospital with minor injuries. Bus was still there 3:30 this afternoon.

One of our drivers sent me these pics ...

Quote from: PROUD MEMBER on September 17, 2025, 01:48:59 AMYes he was FDNY

My mistake ... correction made.

Retired driver and retired FDNY Tom del Pino has passed. Real nice guy. Condolences to wife (and also retired driver and retired NYPD) Sue, his family and friends.
