Our district is bisected by a major railway and our drivers do report where trains are, how long they are, and what direction they're travelling. Most everyone respects these clearances.when there's an emergency and someone happens to chime in, it's usually because they had their radio turned down and hadn't heard them clear the radio. In an emergency, our base calls out and declares an emergency and clears all radio traffic except base, the driver, and the emergency response team. Here, there's not a lot of chit-chat, but there's a lot of unnecessary bus-related talk."would you please call the school." and "would you please call the police." for the most stupid reasons.
who is going to get paid for an extra run). In our district, we have about 5 drivers (out of 50) that make up at least 90% of the radio traffic.Ī big problem is that when a driver calls in to inform base that they're late, the drivers start fighting on the radio for who is going to help out (i.e. This goes on in any situation where 2-way radios are being used. We are discussing making a guide line on what does and doesn't need to be discussed on our 2-ways to save them for emergency situations and also because anyone with a scanner can and has listned in. everything from I missed a stop can you call and see if they can get a ride or if I need to go back and get them( duh- that's your job) to there's a dog in the road ahead watch out( thought we were all profesionals and could handle that on our own) and then there's always the 8 other drivers chiming in on what should be done with a situation trying to be handled by 1 driver and the administration. We have a constant chatter on the radio distracting other drivers and driving us nuts. Our drivers just seem to like the sound of their voices. Maybe it's just our district, but I was hoping to see if anyone has guide lines for radio usage.
