My district has Cummins CEs in 2007 to 2009 model years. Then to 2010, we started getting the CEs with Maxxforce DT engines and then back to cummins in 2015. We're now supposed to get Gasoline V8 CEs.
I've been a school bus driver for 30 years here in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia. Over the past 30 years I've had all kinds of different buses assigned to me, Internationals, Ford's, Chevys, GMCs, Blue Birds, Freightliners and by far my favorite bus is the International. All had features that I liked but overall the International suits my personal driving preferences better. Most all of mine were 5 speed trans until just a few years ago. Things have evolved so much over the years. This fleet seems to have pretty new buses throughout and well maintained. Nice video!

That's just a lack of proper maintenance. There is a special fluid you put in the tank to prevent the condensation in the tank from freezing. Also, what do fuel lines have to do with the brakes?
My school uses a variety of buses ranging from Amtran T44E's to quite a few Navistar RE200's and CE200's, plus a few Thomas Built Saf-T-Liner C1's and a good bit if Saf-T-Liner C2's. There are also a few Blue Bird buses (I believe they are Blud Bird Visions, but I don't know).
Hey! I'm actually a high school student, and I've recently gotten the urge to want to drive a school bus for some reason. Is it hard (or easy) driving one? Is there anything you can compare it to to give non-bus drivers an idea of how it is? Thanks!

LOL out of all the buses that took off before this one, you get that one Thomas bus that's different then the rest.... I don't know why but I find that hilarious
Because school buses sound like trucks,I usually expect the horn to sound like that of a truck, but some buses have car horns. In addition, I felt like my district would install hella horns on their buses.
Oh My Gosh That Horn Sounded Like A Honda-Horn That Was Really Funny And I Remembered That School-Bus Number 46 Had Water In The Brake I Was On School-Bus Number 222 In 2018 For My 1st Day Of 7th Grade And The Bus Had A Drainaged-Fluid Inside Of The Bumper The Drainaged-Fluid Looked Absolutley Discusting And It Smelled Terrible I Couldn't Believe That Drainaged-Fluid Was Not Changed Since September Of 1972 I Couldn't Exist The Smell Anymore So I Decided To Recharse The Bus From Picking Me Up.
@@PatrickBaptist - That is the result of car designers taking over commercial vehicles (not just buses; I've noticed the same trends on commercial trucks) have any of you ever driven a vehicle from IdeaLease or United Rentals? United Rentals rents/leases International commercial trucks; literally, the same designwise as the IC school bus - which was the case with the older International Loadstar and S-series).
Looks like there making all school buses automatic now back in the 80s and 90s most school buses were manual I used to watch my bus driver Dave he drove us to vo tech and picked us up from vo tech when I was in high school it was crazy watching him have to shift so many times
Do they still have IC CE buses or do they have different ones now? Because I know this bus was a lease bus that was part of the 5 year lease program. That this company had or still has.
I always thought that buses never make right turns at a light when its red I always wait until the light I'd green and I still check the traffic before I proceed to turn
Preston Farmer you know the cowl end on the buses are the same ones found on the straight truck counterpart so.. perhaps it shares everything in the engine compartment
I ride bus 15 at Clinton Massie School District. I think the bus I ride has a Cummins in it. Does bluebird use Cummins? Im a new bus person its ok if you think its a stupid question
How can you tell the diff between maxxforce DT and Cummins except for looking at the logo right next to the front door. I do not know if there are Cummins IC CE busses in my fleet, only Cummins in my fleet are the SAFT-Liners
I covered my visor to actually block the sun from blinding me, at inspection i got a big NO NO for doing that and not allowed. I like whats safer??? One thing i hate on these ic's is the outdated slider driver windows that tic, creak, and rattle ya to go nuts.
@@BusMaster99 thats what i thought, but it came from state inspector, and the transportation director told me to get it of and better not see it again like im a kid, i was pissed how i got talked to from him, just lame bs here.
Hi, OMG I don't know why I didn't come here first. Probably because my brain is burnt out & my eyes are about to fall out of my head from hours online researching a short bus I would love to buy. Please if anyone could help me, I'll buy dinner, Lol. 2009 International Maxx 7 200hp diesel short bus ( 25 length ?) Was purchased for a national preserve who gave tours. Can anyone tell me about this engine and would it be safe for a conversion to travel cross country? My concerns is if I'm in terrain that might face heavy winds or if I'm near the mountains like Asheville,NC

I remember air brakes from my school days; extreme cold weather caused all kinds of problems with the brakes, not to mention freezing up fuel lines...
That's just a lack of proper maintenance. There is a special fluid you put in the tank to prevent the condensation in the tank from freezing. Also, what do fuel lines have to do with the brakes?
@@BusMaster99 they had problems with both the fuel lines and the brakes because of the extreme cold weather
We have Maxxforce DT and 7 and Thomas type busses. Almost all of the buses have strobe lights. My friend used to ride an Maxxforce 7 bus #13
The horn sounded like a Honda horn. Bus horns are supposed to be like strong horns I thought
Used to have a neighbor that had Aspergers and was a huge bus fan as well. He knew everything about them.

dame so many bus wow my school we had around 10 or so
Jason Marshall my school has 3 no matter what
Like your video
It’s funny how they call it a “max force engine” ,but it breaks down for no reason and just dies whenever it wants at inconvenient times and is slow.
Ikr?
Tell your bus driver about that teenager that went off on a bus driver
We all have air brakes and we have train horns
same with me but it releases air pressure but theres no guage for the air tanks
How can you tell the diff between maxxforce DT and Cummins except for looking at the logo right next to the front door. I do not know if there are Cummins IC CE busses in my fleet, only Cummins in my fleet are the SAFT-Liners
You can tell just from hearing the two.
sorry caps lock

Why am I obsessed with the sound at 7:38? Could someone tell me what it is please?
That would be the hydraulic brake system motor.
Are school buses allowed to turn right on red in Illinois? I drive one in New York, and right on red is a huge no no!
Nigel Furlong Yes.
