That was a new driver, and he knew what to do.
Maybe they need better vans for taking people to appointments..
I hope things get better for the drivers..
Keep them safe to be able to help people that cant drive for their appointments…..
Glad they are been called on carpet…The owners know better than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BE SAFE DRIVERS…….

That would because of a large, burning bus, a highway that had to be cleaned of charred debris and the cleanup to remove the bus and remnants from beside the highway.
