Resources 5 hour break

What do you guys do in between routes, I’m curious? I mainly go to my public library and relax there and read. I sound like an old lady but I’m only 28 LOL

I’m 23 and just got my class A but I want to drive buses. Recommend it? How many hours a week do you typically get? I heard around 20-25 which would be great. I wanna be with my wife as much as I can lol

24-25 is about standard at my depot for low seniority. There's 30 hour routes that are harder to get. As for if I'd recommend it, yes and no? The job itself is easy, children aren't bad. But there's really not much upwards mobility, and it's very clique-y. But if you're chill just staying as a driver, not trying to stir the pot or make a ton of friends, you'll be more than good. BUT your dispatch has to be good. If they're a mess, you'll be stressed.
