2006 IC CE CE200 VT365 school bus startup, pre-trip, drive POV

- čas přidán 23. 07. 2024
- Hello, school bus geeks! Here's the morning routine on this well-weathered CE with air brakes and 6-speed Allison automatic transmission, in its last year of service here in northern New Jersey. Everything pretty much works properly on the bus, with the speedometer being a notable exception - the video starts with a clip of a GPS speedometer on my phone vs. the bus's speedometer, to head off any comments of "you're speeding!"
It's obvious who my employer is, and almost as obvious where the bus yard is. Please do not comment with these items.

0:12 Walking to bus
0:30 Pre-trip: preparation
0:55 Pre-trip: engine start, interior
2:37 Pre-trip: air brakes

8:17 Deadheading to first pickup
24:47 Child check after last dropoff
25:20 Deadheading back to base
42:04 Verify child check alarm (weekly)
During the pre-trip, I discovered that the wristwatch I use for the air brake leak test stopped working.
FAQs
Why do you keep walking to the back of the bus?
- There is a child check alarm which arms itself one the bus is powered up for 5 minutes, or once you activate the red loading lights. This is disarmed via that button. To disable the anti-theft system as well, you have to go back to the front, cycle the key, and press it again.
Why is your yard such a mess?!
- We are not allowed to pave it due to local environmental issues, something to do with marshland. We get it re-graded every year or so, but the craters develop pretty quickly when there is rain or snow. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Just hearing that VT365 is like ASMR to my ears. Love it!
I absolutely LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT DIESEL!
I use your youtube videos as my white noise to help me sleep at night. also I am autistic. i like 15 passenger vans, and Airbus A321 aircraft as a hobby. i also like Yamaha stereo equipment.
Pleasant dreams! 🚍💤

I am autistic too and I sleep with rain sounds
I always thought school buses always looked the same for the past 50 years, no remodeling.
I thought they were lazy
If it ain't broken, don't fix it
They have changed a crap ton.
@@Jeepin290 They haven’t changed at all the past 11 years I’ve been going to school, so even if they did change, it couldn’t have been that much in the past 50 years.
@@paull2937 It really has changed- buses have AC, heaters, new GPS and camera systems, etc.. They haven’t changed in the past 11 years cause they’ve kept the design almost the same, by 2024 or so, they’ll look different as the semi variant of them (applies to the CE and C2 only) will be getting redesigns.
fun seeing someone drive on roads im fimiliar with. im from Sussex County but i frequently drive thru Newton with family to run errands or to go riding. nice video.
I was in that area with the bus a couple times this month for camp trips
@@yitznewton nice, its really beautiful. just a lot of really scary roads to drive on especially in a large vehicle.
I was always curious on how bus drivers routines go. great video can't wait to see more
Sounds damn clean. Not even a shitty startup started right up sounding fresh.
I know.
I like seeing the routines that the bus drivers go through. It’s very interesting for some reason lol. Great video! I hope to see a Thomas C2 POV soon!

thanks! Just as good 👍
@@yitznewton you should come to clear lake Wisconsin and drive for the school
Probably one of the best POV’s of a school bus I have ever seen
@UTTPPOLICE get a job .
Could you possible record a video of just the turn signal on this bus? I cant seem to find a quiet clip of it anywhere.
Loved the video! Our 2008’s were sold in 2018, we kept 2 2007’s until late 2020.
Yeah, this bus was just sold off a few months ago 😔
@@yitznewton That sucks! We still have our retirees sitting in our lot, we have 1 2014 and 1 2015 left in service.
@@Jeepin290 we have a somewhat ancient Freightliner Thomas rusting away in our boneyard too. Not sure why not sold
@@yitznewton Wow, we have an older early 2000’s Shorty bluebird 3800 handicapped with a jack knife door sitting at this garage next to our lot.
The bus is so pristine and even though the bus motor startup and the bus is clean and I hope the students can get on a bus and have field trip and the only one thing is they need to clean out the inside of the bus
This is pretty awesome! 😎
Man I miss watching the school bus thing on the top left corner that was fun it kept me entertained
ELMO!
Awesome video! Look forward to seeing more. :)

I’m new to the channel and just sub the best POV vid I ever seen looking for more 🔥

I love busses my favorite is school busses
Awesome video!
how times have changed, back in the 80s when i rode the bus to school it was the local farmers who drove us, buses back then had non of that safety checklist or scanning to do lol
Very nice video! I hope to see more content like this in the future reminds me of my old bus 060507 in Connecticut before it was retired in 2019.
when we are young, we laugh when the driver says "quiet !"... 25 years later, its us who ask to kid "be quiet !".... it may looks a monotone job but excluding the bus checkup, it looks a real job-dealing with everything from inside-kids to outside-environment... "(- . -)"
Great video! I especially love the beeping sounds, the air brake sounds, and the VT365 engine sounds.
same here I miss riding that vt365 bus 1 now im riding a 2022 safetliner c2 handicap medium size bus up to 9 passengers and 3 wheelchairs rows bus 1 with the cummins. 6.7 I mean the c2 rides so smooth though bus 1
a very loud buzzer woah!
That v8 diesel sound!
It is a 6.0L VT365 V8 Turbocharged Diesel.
I'm doing my school bus driving training and I guess the company I work for don't do the scanning of everything. We just check it and move on.
Yea we do the same have a checklist to
I love your video.. keep up the good work I understand your listing of what not to complain about but like to comment so others would know .. at each bus company or school district they may have different pre trip procedures.. ours was a bit more complex.. we had to inspect also under the hood and also physically and visually inspect the S cams on our buses with air brakes and also brake lines on our hydraulic brakes and also do a brake test not just dump the air like you did. also we had to inspect every light lens to make sure they are not cracked or broken or bulb burnt out.. including headlight, tail lamps and warning lights .. but also inspect each interior light too .. now we only had to check the seats to make sure no student is left behind twice but hit alarm once at end of the route only if the warning lights have been activated. if you made a dry run say to go fuel up the bus and not activate your warning lamps no need to reset the child check warning system .. again as I stated each company or school district is different and have different rules. we did not have the electronic device you had to click on with the zonar system.. have a happy and safe driving with your bus

This reminds me of the time my bus 0257 got retired in 2017 I think idk when it got retired
LOVE TO RIDE THE BUSES HERE IN KANSAS CITY MISSOURI!
I feel like i am becoming a school bus enthusiast
My favorite buses are 2011s and 2009 but the 2006 amd 7 buses are my new favorites
C capital's tonightWe is capitals tonight we is capitals tonight are you is carpet talk area now is
Holy crap! Who would of thought that this was Fords 6.0 litre turbo diesel V8!
I've always wanted to drive a Bus. My Mom used to when I was a kid. One question, though. What's that little device you keep pointing at certain areas of the Bus and it beeps?
That's a Zonar wand, there are 8 zones registered around the bus, and as we inspect each, we scan a tag mounted there with the wand. www.zonarsystems.com/industries/pupil-transportation/
what was it going up and down so much
i must say the VT365 sounds wayy more aggressive than the powerstroke counterpart of it! not only that you have the distinctive whine from that Alison! i could drive this bus all day and not get sick of those sounds!
It appears to be turbocharged. When shifting down gear (Slowing down), the turbocharger whines.
@@lijiang2743they’re both turbocharged. There are some minor differences between the VT365 and the 6.0. I’m not sure what they are. I think one is they don’t put head gaskets in the VT365- I could be wrong.
Nice video i like buses
Your video are the best
This was dope
Is the bus dead no fuel?
Interesting video.
Dope vid tho👍
21:56 why does it make that noise when you switch gears?
If you mean the electronic sound, I think that happens when you touch the brake for the first time after starting. I don't know why it does that.
Not bad bro 🔥🔥🔥
I love when bus drivers mess whit stuff cuz its TRIGERES LITERALLY EVERY DAM BEEPING THING ON THE BUS XD
it's part of their pre-trip!
@@ICREFAN_OFFICIAL its funny tho
I like school buses 😀
Fun fact: they still operate the 2006 IC CE at my school
Working 👌 I called it
I love the sound of that diesel the ic ce has, I’ve always loved the ce’s and the c2’a, bluebirds designs are straight ugly in my opinion, I ride a C2 to school every day but I’ve never been on an ic
I LOVE🥰 SCHOOL BUSES
Nice Video
i believe you can direct install an upgraded ford 6.0 engine in these direct bolt up for more power
I can't confirm, but it makes sense from what I do know
That was a long pre-trip now we all know that you don’t get that much time
Omg how long is this?
Can you do more videos like this video?A school bus is my favorite vehicle and always has been.I call it the law.Red lights mean stop for a school bus.Its the law.obey it.
I love that CCM unit and my old bus has the same system when I was in School. Child Checkmate rules. Do you have access to a bus like a C2 so we can see what that type of bus is like?
We have C2s in our fleet as well. I usually don't know in advance when my bus is going to be in the shop for maintenance, or which bus they're going to give me, so it's hard to know when to bring the GoPro 😔
@@yitznewton Well I hope we can see a C2 soon
@@carwashslayer4235 yeah
@@rasblox9105 Hope for a Child Check Procedure in his bus. Like Activation and Deactivation. Plus Charter Mode.
@@carwashslayer4235 on my mom bus she had like a evacuation protection door that will beep really loud in a emergency
I used to ride the school bus in macon
You gotta do all that
Can you explain to me what the heck that shaking around was at 4:05?!?!
Bouncing while I'm rapidly pumping the brake, to empty the air tanks and confirm the brake pressure safety systems are working
@@yitznewton Oh okay, I thought the bus was going to combust in some way shape or form lol!
Could you possibly do a c2 next when you get the chance to fetch one? I love CEs especially with the vt365 but I favor the maxxforce dt more.

@@brotherblackstar5554 ???
I have a brother inlaw who drives school bus in another city here in minnesota
Very nice video!! How did you make the bus do the poping sounds at 2:50
That happens when you turn the key on with the service (foot) brake applied. If you turn it on with the brake not applied, it just clicks. I assume it's running a check on some valves or solenoids or something.
@@yitznewtonoh wow that’s very interesting thank you!
the magic school bus
My bus driver got into an accident with the bus. We have had subs ever since and a spare bus for the rest of the school year
One of our drivers peeled off their bumper on their last week before quitting, still waiting for it to come back from the body shop
At 4:01 you was fanning them brakes like there were nothing.
What is that long yellow bar on the front of bus do
It forces people crossing in front, to move away from the nose, so they remain more visible to the driver
Why do they have so many enmangency exit doors and windows lol plz answer
Think about all the ways a bus might land after an accident
What time was it and what day is it??
I would have started around 7:05 a.m., whatever day I posted this
What engine is in this school bus?
Navistar VT365
What's that device in his hand and what's he checking with it?
The Zonar wand records the timing of scanning those tags around the bus, to create a record of the fact I've done the inspection
@@yitznewton great, thanks
The back door exit is me in class when my teacher won’t shut the fuck up so I can work
At 14:07 I hear the 5 minute chime engage.
Whot time do you leave the depo
7:25am
In my city they use those buses as public transport.
We sold this bus last year, so maybe you will ride this same bus one day!!
Cool
Awe I miss Airbrakes.
what's the long yellow stick at the fron of the bus for?
To keep kids from crossing immediately in front of the nose, which is a blind spot
@@yitznewton cool, thanks
it's also known as a student crossing arm.
My bus driver treats those types of buses like shit, she hits the curb like 10 times a day and outside is all rusted
😢
2:42 and 4:01 4:17 8:43 20:35 2:38 4:24: 8:57
Way different from my days at Laidlaw. We had paper pre-trip
We've now moved from the Zonar wand, to using tablets - check out one of the more recent videos
My little sister love school buses
Why does the vt365 sound like a 6.0 powerstroke
i have a older CE in my district that sounds like that but has a MaxxForce 7 engine in it and the engine sounds is the only thing that makes it my favorite spare bus darn shame my driver won't drive itwhen her blue bird vision goes for door switch repairs or regular Maintenance.
Hey so what year is your bus like the number becase I love your videos and I love buses
This bus was built in 2006. I don't know the model year and we no longer have this bus so I can't check
Oh
20:48 those beeps are funny
I have a problem. I think I'm in love with your bus. I'll give my two kidneys for can drive him
Heh well, they're selling it this year. Not sure if already have a buyer...
Disc or drum brakes?
Drum
cool
Didn't even open the hood or check tire pressures?
Our mechanics are responsible for that, per company policy
2:43 what is that noise?
That happens when you turn the key on with the service (foot) brake applied. If you turn it on with the brake not applied, it just clicks. I assume it's running a check on some valves or solenoids or something.
Can they make a electric School bus?
Yes, they exist. Probably not for a while at my location because of the site we're on
@@yitznewton i never really seen one tbh
@@rasblox9105 yeah I can't recall having seen one either
Being that we were all kids once, I can assume we've all been curious about our bus driver. This, good sir, satisfies that curiosity. Thank you for making this video. I would like to ask a question if you don't mind, what is that beeping sound that started when you opened the doors? is that an alarm?
If you're talking about the rear door and the other emergency exits, I think that alarm is there to inform the driver in case one of them opens while they are driving. Either due to a passenger opening them, or getting jarred open by vibrations - which does happen sometimes especially on the older buses.
I think he’s talking about when he initially got on the bus. Pretty sure it’s an anti-theft alarm or something where if he doesn’t sign in within a set time, the bus alarms will go off. Just a guess, though.
What is the green thing
On the dashboard? It's a seat belt cutter, in case you're evacuating and a belt is stuck and too tight to pull the kid out. Definitely not something I ever want to have to attempt
@@yitznewton my district explains it if the driver (who is the only one who actually has a seatbelt on the buses with the exception of the microbird G5) has a medical emergency WHILE the bus is still in motion that the student who f=is brave enough to get up and pull the yellow parking brake valve and activate the 4 ways and radio to base for an ambulance (again something they consider but never had to be done but was close as a driver i overheard on the radio was feeling ill and passed out in his bus fortunately on the side of the road safe and sound) to cut the driver seatbelt to get him/her off the bus (if possible).
why do you have to do that timer thing and have it literally shake the whole bus and crank all the stuff just to start it
We use the timer to confirm that there are no significant leaks in the air brake system, i.e. the pressure doesn't drop more than a certain amount over a certain length of time. The shaking is just me bouncing as I pump the brakes to release all the air and confirm that the emergency brake activates when the pressure drops catastrophically low
@@yitznewton gotcha!
Get up every day then dude every day the test in the morning open window second and back door and check in the lights that’s a lot
Engine light I think
Has your bus been reliable ?
Heh, not really. Last year was rough. I had one of the air valves go (not catastrophically), burst a steering hose, EGR cooler went. It's an old bus. It does run and drive well, when nothing is broken.
Damn I'm sure that was pricy.
I wonder how the 6.0 in School buses do reliability wise (since I heard bad things about the 6.0)
This was the only one in our fleet. It had several things fail in its final couple years (EGR cooler, power steering hose...) but the engine itself was OK
4:02 MY LORD IS THAT NORMAL!?!?
No just no
Those are some narrow streets!
LOL welcome to North Jersey
cool video but who else seen the nissan gtr
0:25 that is a weird beeper sound.
No its a backup chime
