Greetings to all!!!
I am Bennie Huckabay, Transportation Route Supervisor with
Beaumont I.S.D.
I am running for the office of Parliamentarian. I have been
involved with pupil transportation since August 1990, and will start my 30th
year in the industry in January, all of it being with Beaumont ISD.
I started out as bus
driver, field trip driver, moved into the shop as Utility Helper, was promoted
to Shop Manager, Transportation Supervisor of Special Services, Transportation
Supervisor – Safety & Training, Site Supervisor, and am currently the Route
Supervisor.
At first, I wasn’t
sure if this was the career for me, but after learning how to drive a bus, my
blood turned yellow!! I have competed in numerous school bus safety road-e-o’s,
with my best accomplishment coming in 2008. I placed 2nd at regional
competition, 1st at state competition, and drove a bus in Calgary
Canada for the international competition where I placed 12th.
When I do get spare time away from work, I enjoy the beach,
lake, Astros games, Cowboys games, Longhorn football, going to Port
Neches-Groves football games, and spending time with family. I love anything to
do with Star Wars, and movie musicals, and musical theater. My 2 favorite
cities to visit are Galveston, and New Orleans, and I try to visit as often as
possible.
There honestly isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not
thinking about ways to make my department and this industry better. I love what
I do because every day is a new challenge and a new experience. I was told by
my 1st director that this is the only job that is different, every
day you come to it. I didn’t understand what he meant until years later, and
boy was he right!! I can’t think of anything I would rather be doing, than what
I do now. It is the most stressful, but rewarding job I have ever had.
I hope to receive your vote for Parliamentarian. I believe I
have what it takes to do the job right, like so many before me have done.
Thank You and God Bless,
Bennie Huckabay
