I wish I could send this to every school I have hauled. Not all are the same but more times than not I have had to wait till the end of the day to eat because they are either in a hurry or they were late leaving and they try to make up time at the food stops. Number 5 and 8 really hit home with me. Tips... almost non exsistant when hauling schools around here. And the times I have been told I am sorry I could not give you a tip, we ran into more expense than we had figured. Even the tour companies around here take the driver for granted most times. Just the other day we had a multi bus move to a location. Spent the whole day waiting on the customers and at the end of the trip we got 25 dollars each from the tour company. Yes that is 25 dollars I did not have to start with, but come on. I love my job and while we have issues with the company, I have worked at much worse places. But we are taken for granted way too much sometimes. Thanks Bob for this article. I wish I could send this to every school I have hauled.
