I had a 2003 model. Drove it on my route for several years until I got a new one last year. It is still my favorite bus from most others I had. Well actually my all time favorite was a 1976 International Loadstar 1700 5 speed that I had 30 yrs ago when I first started driving. That will always be my favorite...this IC CE comes in second on my list. I've had Fords, Chevys and GMCs through the years but wasn't too fond of them
yall are so lucky to have air brake busses we have abs brake busses they can be so horrible sometimes but great other times. I remember my first year driving I drove a 2002 IC I loved it but once I got a taste of my saf-t-liner I fell in love with it.
Look like a similar to amtran cs bus on 1998 to 2000 when I ride the bus to school during my senior year of high school in 1999 I remember that feeling ride-so much better than bluebirds bus I love that amtran is best body than another bus ride I miss that bus amtran
Nice bus! My School District bought (5) 2003 IC CE's and (5) 2004 IC CE's. I love the first generation IC CE's. They are good Buses and they last a long time if you take care of them. We only have two 2003 IC CE's (Bus 76 and Bus 77) and one 2004 IC CE (Bus 84) left, sadly. I did a walk-around video of Bus 76 and Bus 77 on my RUclips Channel if you would like to go check them out!
No offense intended but not such a great idea to leave a bus in gear and exit the vehicle. Yes the parking brake might be engaged but what to say that parking brake may or may not fail?
Hi, sorry I have an international amtran but the board does not work nor the overhead lights the red ones and yellow I do not know if you could help me
Do you go through that routine before you drive every route? If so, impressive! Nice to see folks putting safety first and great seeing someone put so much pride into their job! Thanks for sharing!!!
@9sb19 Thx... I just hit the wrong key I guess.. But thx for the observation... And correcting someone is not being mean.. It was an honest mistake and you happened to be the one to catch it.. Thx again.. I'll change it right now..
You forgot to check to see that 1.) The EMERGENCY EXITS (EMERGENCY DOOR, EMERGENCY Windows and hatches) can be opened so that a human can exit in the event of an emergency, 2.) The buzzer is in working condition and activates when any of the EMERGENCY EXITS and 3.) All other safety equipment work and/or are in stock (First Aid Kit, Fire Extinguisher, and if onboard, Body Fluid Cleanup Kit).
I cannot believe that anyone pre-trips a bus by putting it in reverse and gets off the bus while it is in gear, even with the brake on. Just not a safe practice. I really hope that the pre-trip shown here is not what is expected of a driver doing any pre-trip, or this is just a video and not intended to suggest that this is a real pre-trip.
If that is your State Law . . . but it is only to see that the backup lights work? That could be done when you walk back to the back of the bus and open the door At least then you would be inside the bus out of danger and able to react should something go wrong.. Still think it is a dangerous situation. Not done in Ohio. Thanks for the info as to what other states require.
+John Jung well there really isn't a danger if all the brakes and other systems are properly operating. which all go on the checklist before the lights.
I drove in KY from 2000-2008 and it was never a part of pretrip. Maybe put it in reverse and listen for the alarm but just not a good idea to walk behind a bus with reverse gear engaged.
NC bus driver sitting under the steering wheel,and moves bus while on the cell recording! I don't know who trained you,but that's against federal law . just saying
Flor Pilar he released the brakes put the shifter in drive the wheels rolled forward,then still on the phone . Puts the shifter in reverse . Federal law states"any commical vehicle driver does not need to be on the phone while the vehicle is moving." The state of NC had this law in affect before it became federal law.
retired bus driver nc First and foremost, what the law states is that no driver shall operate a school bus on a public street or highway while using a mobile phone.. I'm not sure which part of NC you're from, but last I checked, a parking lot is not a public street or highway. I usually don't reply to trolls such as yourself, but I did just for the sake of educating you, so that you don't make that same ignorant comment again. Be blessed! ✌🏾
How long have you driven? Before light test switches, this was the only way to check reverse lights. Mechanics do it everyday during inspections.. While I appreciate your concern, I did it every day for 7 years and never had anything happen to me.. Everyone has their preference, this was mine.
The T444Es are one of my favorite engines.
Love these. We used to have one in my town, but it moved across the county.
2:38 that sound brings back so many memories of our 04 IC CE buses that are now replaced with Bluebird Visions and have Child Checkmate.

0:40 that sound sounds kind of like an airplane startup sound from the '90s
I like the radio beep
Love this engine in the international buses best sounding ones I've ever heard my first bus was a 2003 international with a DT 408 3800 engine
I could never figure out the alarm on these buses haha. Finally!! Thanks Marcus!
@King Monkey Master that’s why I said on this bus
OMG I USED TO GO TO THAT SCHOOL!!!! Now they have bus 33, 50, 39, 46, 35

Thank you so much, i just finished my test for my bus license and ive been looking all over for this

I love NC school buses.
@06badboi I love internationals... Ive driven so many of these buses and I love them!!!!!
You should do a drive video on this bus
I wish the Brake PumpDown on our new Internationals was that easy.
This is Anson County, North Carolina.

Only thing different is we have manual doors and no led lighting and the model of the outside features are different but I love these buses.
No air brakes. Our district doesn't really have any buses with air breakes
Do you go through that routine before you drive every route? If so, impressive! Nice to see folks putting safety first and great seeing someone put so much pride into their job! Thanks for sharing!!!
Nice job
It sounds like a 2005 IC RE300 bus
@9sb19 Thx... I just hit the wrong key I guess.. But thx for the observation... And correcting someone is not being mean.. It was an honest mistake and you happened to be the one to catch it.. Thx again.. I'll change it right now..

I've never before seen the heater controls next to the gauge cluster on a bus like this.
Can you do a video of you driving this bus?
@06badboi No I dont drive for mecklenburg anymore.. Im a sub in Anson county and I work at a prison...
what's that beeping when you first start the motor? Oil pressure? Brakes?
What radio was in this bus?
liked, idc about the old comment version

Technically the buzzer works because he deactivated the Child Checkmate.
cool
0:08 why are the IR lights on? It’s not dark outside.

This is a regular practice on a Pretrip. Exactly what we do in ky too

All of that was checked prior to the video... Just did something to put on youtube... So dont criticize, just enjoy the video!

Gah! I keep seeing videos where the driver puts the bus in reverse before doing the walkaround! Don't do that ever!
How long have you driven? Before light test switches, this was the only way to check reverse lights. Mechanics do it everyday during inspections.. While I appreciate your concern, I did it every day for 7 years and never had anything happen to me.. Everyone has their preference, this was mine.
Exactly now we have light test switches
