I believe it is union.. The school bus company has been taking advantage of them and screwing them..
Some nights when she was driving a charter and got back at 9 pm or later it is pitch black where she had to park the bus..

They didn't give a crap if the drivers get jumped or not.. She used to call her sister, Kid or Friends and talk on the phone so someone could call the cops if she had problems..
Luckily she never did

Damn you live far away..

Just checked you are 1134 miles from me.. Would take 17 hours and 21 minutes to get there..

Fuel and tolls would be about $300
