I've never actually been in one as far as I can recall. We had gasoline Chevy Blue Birds when I was a kid, and I drive the Rutgers science bus which was built on the BB All American platform
Awesome video, and love that VT365 Engine from that 2012 IC CE! My district used to have the 2012 IC CE School Buses operated by First Student, but they had the MaxxForce 7.
@@yitznewton yeah haha but also knowing they have a bunch of buses going through there eveyday you’d think they change it or sowmthing or maybe it’s never been an issue with accidents haha
Kids dont get the ENTIRE DAY OFF for thanksgiving??? Public holidays like those in Spain, we get FULL days off, sometimes 3, the day before, THE HOLIDAY, and the day after.. to spend time with family, but USA, kids only get ''early dismissal?'' Also, nice to see some USA school buses have seatbelts for the kids
@@yitznewton apparently, that engine didn’t go so well for Ford. After that, that’s when the 6.7 Powerstroke was introduced for the Super Duty trucks. Unlike the previous engines The 6.7 is actually an engine by Ford themselves in house.
We too lost our contract in FL so STA stepped in and didn’t give a shit about the drivers they gave us new buses but that isn’t enough for me to stay so I left.
Nothing on your dash buddy. Stop at the stop sign…while you are at it, stay in your lane and 25mph doesn’t mean 37mph.
go on with your banana split looking self go drive a school bus while you talk about it so much
Pin of shame lol but, I mean he's not wrong
bro your not his boss
@@Metro248 maybe he is, ya never know, the internets a big place
I work for First Student. My branch Fires for less. @@Metro248
the sound of a school bus is either nostalgic or triggering, depending on what kind of experience you had at school lol
Great video! Our normal C2 #5445 operated by HCST was actually swapped with a spare BBV!

Yeah, this one's the Maxxforce 7 also 🙈
@@yitznewton I didn’t know, lol. They sound so 100% similar to each other
@@stevenkbuses a couple of my early bus videos were on a VT365
@@yitznewton Awesome, the VT365 Engine is my favorite when I was in Elementary School, and it still is today.
I don’t miss that hydraulic brake sound lol. Buses need air brakes.
Nice hydraulic brakes and VT365 engine I like it
Happy Thanksgiving!
Feels like home 😊🤗
Awesome video! 👌
nice mf7, i love the sound of them
So weird to see the roads I usually drive on from a busses perspective
School on thanksgiving day much less that week is wild
16:10 love the check and charter mode voice in the bus up front the C2 did charter mode at the same time you did lol if you listen carefully
Jinx!
@@yitznewton They owe you something then
ah good ol Lincoln Park.. I remember when it used to be LaidLaw Bus.. My aunt was an Aide for them for years until it switched over to First Student
Yeah, we still have odd and ends around with Laidlaw naming (folding chairs, etc.)
First Student is garbage
Bus from my favorite era! (2008-2013) model year (2007-2012) build year
The Maxxforce 7 examples have a great turning radius... for all the sore points of that engine lol
Most of the ones from my county (2011 and 2012 models) run great! Every single one I rode on.
@@ICCELOVER mine had 2012 with maxxforce but they broke down all of them so the oldest we have are 2017 and the newest are 2022
You must have lemons also…. Jeez that fleet is a little too new
@@ICCELOVER we had hydraulics ones and every time you step on the gas black clouds of smoke come out of the exhaust
good driving,, especially not blocking intersection
Looks like Phil the thrills neighbourhood not gonna lie 😮
At the end of the video, what was the charter mode thing? It looked like part of the security camera. Why are there different modes?
Charter mode allows people to move around in the bus when parked, without setting off the intruder alarm
@@yitznewton Buses have intruder alarms now? When I was a kid those alarms wouldn't have lasted two days due to the kids moving around constantly.
Great
That turn at the beginning where you have to go into an incoming lane is so dangerous
Commercial vehicle life

This was early dismissal for Thanksgiving break, i.e. Wednesday afternoon - I'll update the description
the buses where i live run stop signs all together.
I'm curious, is that a V8 underneath?
Yes, Maxxforce 7 aka Powerstroke 6.4

Yeah it's problematic in the buses also, durability-wise
@@yitznewton at least Ford wasn’t alone in this
You know what's crazy my bus driver can drive a 61 seater bus down a road full of potholes doin 100 km/h dodging every single one
Very Good Keep them coming also the first too comment! :)
Do a Child Check-Mate key fob demo if you can.
Interesting, I haven't actually seen that product - we don't have any
@@yitznewton I've done many key fob videos over the last year. I actually own a few key fobs myself and some CCM systems.
bruh my school bus has the same tablet as u and we in a different state probably lol
I use to work at First Student -Canton, Mississippi but they lost their contract. Then Durham came in I worked for them a few months and walked away.
Ahhh, Durham
I worked for durham before for 6 years then walked away.. New manager and treated us terribly..

Sounds like a ford in that engine

Guess that wasn’t a stop sign ole boy ran, that’s probably 40 points on his cdl for sure.🤦🏼♂️
womp womp
I don't know but if maybe if you were paying more attention he stopped he just went a little bit more out to see if there was cars coming
The first bus ran it
That one stops to actually the law is your only supposed to stop for like 3 seconds
@@Noahphillpott3620 IF you was paying attention he didn’t stop so gfy wiseass.
😮😊
Air seat leak much?
Ehh this bus doesn't have air
My man here doing 35 in a 30 zone
you’ve never seen buses going 60 in a 40?
@@wubbablewow Yes. But they dont record it.
