We also had a driver switch when we were about half-way to ATL, but not on the way back.

I am not calling you a liar but a bus driver by law can not sleep on the bus unless it the bus has a bunk and have it count as off duty hours. The law requires that a driver of a commercial vehicle ( I believe that includes bus drivers) can not be on duty for more than 11 hours in a 14 hour period. Then needs 10 hours off duty. I am very surprise that on the way home from Atlanta you had only one bus driver. I do not know how long it takes to go from Atlanta to your home in Michigan but I am sure it is more that 11 hours. The fines and penalties are quite stiff for violating those rules.
