Bus Driver
Escambia County SchoolsÂ
Pensacola, FL, United States
Cor'Darius Jones currently a school bus operator for the Escambia County School District in Pensacola, FL. I was born and raised in Pensacola, FL. Graduated in 2010 from Pine Forest High School. I have been with my district for six and a half years. Becoming a bus driver for me I feel was a calling. In 2018, after unexpectedly losing my grandmother (who raised me since I lost my mom when I was 5), I would cope by driving around listening to Gospel music. Along my ride one day I saw a small sign posted in the grass that said "Now hiring school bus operators". I didn't think much of it and proceeded on. About 2 minutes later I saw the same sign a few blocks away. I remember mumbling to myself "If I see that sign one more time I will go in and apply". The next time I saw the sign it was a huge banner hanging from a school bus parked near the road at a high school. I took it as that was my sign. I went in the next day & have been stuck since. In 2019, I started the "Mr Bus Driver" Facebook page. The page almost instantly became a huge hit with my first video going viral and gaining over 100,000 views in the first 2 days. The first page was hacked at 29,000 followers. After years of no new page and no updated videos, I lost hope. In June of 2023 I brought the page back. By January 2024 I hit 1,000,000 views on a video & doubled the amount of followers. Today the page is going strong with over 158,000 followers. In 2023, I married my wife who I met when we both first started with the district as drivers.
