[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 102699, member: 1550"] We live in an unenlightened community. The school district is actually good with this, but the bus company isn't. The guy in charge of the base and the owner (who resides in Green Bay WI) are both "good ole boys" and I am guessing they just don't like a woman telling them who can drive the route. I can't think of any other reason why they can't make it simple and just switch drivers. Now they are going to have to deal with my "good ole boy" hub who is a ten year vet and doesn't put up with any B.S. I jokingly wonder if she is sleeping with the boss...lol. From what she told me about her life, she slept with everyone else. I don't think it's that though.
