Most motorcoaches are 8.5' (102") wide, not 9' as said in the video (I've never seen one that was 9' wide and I've been driving them for over 20 years). And most school buses are 8' (96") wide, not 8.5'. Most motorcoaches are 45' long, and school buses are rarely if ever more than 40' long (most are 38' or less). (In the U.S.)

I like how you can tell the bus is not in motion

Do you like watching a buses backed up

This is an EXCELLENT video!

Damn America sure knows how to make some crap, 2:21 front engine bus with no front overhang which is very useful to have and in an attempt to make up for it they decided to give the longest tail imaginable, the tailswing on this thing must be ridiculous. Also the front wheels can turn more if they are placed behind the driver without an engine and components getting in the way. Most stupid bus design in the world here.

Good learn

0:35 -- really.. I always thought the most common and dangerous places for coaches is in the intersection

0:24 & 2:29 & 4:30 -- Ope

I have driven Truck for 15 years and I'm going into Public Works Transit next week. Mind you, I am in Canada. Not too many guns here. ........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Edit: Holy crap are Americans paranoid. Read body language? Seriously? Terror threats? Gangs? Sounds like a total hell hole. Sh,t hole country as someone once said. I live in one of the roughest cities in Ontario. I was only worried about how to deal with someone raising their voice.

Is turning a bus harder than a tractor trailer or what? I mean I drive tractor trailer there can't be that many turning accidents well maybe motor coach because some of them bus stops Greyhound or Jefferson Lines goes into are pretty tight. Just Asking.

@ 7:45,,,, That's an illegal placed stop sign. I know you're using it for an example, but it isn't properly installed location and height.

I’ve drive a party bus and a full size coach bus .the party bus I’ve drive is the size of the school bus.you always pass the rear alxle a little bit farther like 2-3 feet then you make the turn otherwise you could hit a vehicle next to you.

Thank you for help

Hey asshole let’s drive on guard and not blind an emergency vehicle with your shitty amber light bar at 5:45 am

You gotta have that right of way to make a left turn lol

Very dangerous sticking his full arm under the wheel arch!!!

to be honest, people are not dumb like cones, they moves if they see it coming

He steps on the clutch and the toilet goes flush, hail to the busdriver busdriver man

Good

I hate getting out just to move my mirrors on my bus....

Also are you assigned a specific vehicle for the year or time period driving? Or do you get new ones everyday ? Are you usually driving out of one location? Do you get to park the bus at your place and just drive it the next day or do you always return it each night to company parking lot ? These are just some questions i am curious of it has nothing to do with how well you perform your driving or how well you know your information... but it does make a difference in familiarizing yourself with what you can expect with the vehicle outside of making the trips for people

Ok so i am pretty sure with a little driving practice i can drive all road vehicles , i am sure i can pass pretty much any written test or endorsement , i know how to demonstrate pre-trip inspections for the different vehicles. But what i am wondering about is if anybody can do another video on what the non-driving part of a drivers day is like... like what type of paper work do they need to know how to fill out and what additional stuff do they have to do before/after driving the vehicle for the day before they go home for the night?

nice to see in this video the length 40 to 45 ft and width 8.5 ft as well as other bus measurements to put it into perspective. Also another important thing is knowing how to uses your mirrors and the difference between the 3 major types on the vehicle. (i.e cross , concave and flat)

What

stupid

If you turn into the far lane on a driver exam you'll be failed instantly.

I really appreciate every piece of this video,had to watch it for the 2nd time to get their techniques for turning my 22 passenger shuttle bus

They make it sound super complicated. Just be observant and take your time turning.

Great video, Alvie Sargent CSSD, WSO

Nice video on Turns and Tail Swings. Thanks for sharing on youtube.

I want to learn how to drive long trucks because I want to live offgrid in an rv. I drove a flatbed once and reversing it was the worst.

I like how he tells you to do something at 8:12 that is illegal in all 57 states. (JK on the # of states.) As far as I know, you are supposed to complete the left turn in the same lane you started in, unless you are going from a two lane onto a four or more lane roadway. In the latter case you are to ALWAYS complete your turn in the nearest lane NOT the far right lane as suggested in this video.

ALL buses and motorcoaches should be required by law to have power mirrors which can be adjusted while sitting in the driver's seat. You should not have to keep getting out of the bus to manually adjust your passenger-side mirrors, and you can't always count on someone else to help you either. It should also be mandatory for all diesel-powered school buses to have Jake brakes. There's no excuse. I see school buses all the time smoking their brakes while descending a steep hill. "Gearing down" in an automatic transmission can only do so much. All buses should have engine brakes, whether mechanical or electronic.

This is an interesting video. But I have to ask if someone got their terms mixed up.... In the video, they call the part of the bus BEHIND the rear axle to the bumper "tail swing". Now, last I knew, this was commonly refereed to as 'over hang'. The term 'tail swing' refers to how much of the 'over hang' crosses/off sets into the path/area of sidewalks and other vehicle lanes.

This is a good reminder………good job
