What information must a 7D driver have on file for each student with special medical needs on their route?
Answer: An emergency action plan or medical alert form provided by the school
Schools provide drivers with emergency action plans or medical alert forms summarizing how to respond to each student's specific condition.
Which communication device is a 7D pupil driver legally required to use in hands-free mode only?
Answer: Mobile phone
Mobile phones must be used in hands-free mode by CDL drivers; handheld use is federally prohibited while operating a vehicle.
A 7D driver must complete a post-trip inspection log for what primary safety reason?
Answer: To ensure no student has been left behind on the vehicle
The post-trip inspection includes a mandatory student sweep to confirm no child remains on the bus after the route ends.
How should a 7D driver communicate an urgent mechanical issue discovered mid-route?
Answer: Immediately contact dispatch or supervisor via two-way radio or phone
Mid-route mechanical issues require immediate contact with dispatch so that a replacement vehicle or other assistance can be arranged.
What document must a 7D driver keep accessible in the vehicle during all student transport runs?
Answer: Student roster or ridership list for the assigned route
A student roster helps drivers verify who is on board, manage pick-up and drop-off accountability, and identify students in an emergency.
Under what circumstances must a 7D driver file a written accident report?
Answer: Any collision involving the pupil transport vehicle, regardless of severity or fault
Pupil transport drivers are required to file written accident reports for all collisions, even minor ones, to comply with state and district policy.
