I must compliment this man and his business. I drove bus for very senior ranking military personnel all over Europe for years. He has great points, great tips and good ethics. Today I am a full timer in a motor coach. His video is Spot on. I had the same exact duties but security and defensive driving was added. I would recommend full timers for their own leisure to actually view this video. It's an all win. You may be the owner of your own coach and you should appreciate his words. "Thumbs Up"
Great tips, especially for newer drivers. I used to envision an egg between my foot and the throttle and brake pedals. The goal: don't break that egg. I used to get 2-3 MPG better fuel mileage than some of my other drivers.
I’m interested!! I have my class A Cdl and drive semi, sanitation trucks and most recently school bus. I know what it takes to be a professional at all times. Staying positive and focused at the same time is an art and to me this sounds like the perfect career.
Pioneer Coach donated a bus and driver for a benefit show I did for Downs Syndrome in Jackson TN and I was very impressed with the experience. I forget the drivers namer but he was a pro. We stopped halfway at a truckstop and I didn't even know until I looked out the window. Very smooth.
Very professional, You look like a real boss..I wish all the bosses were like this. Well, Im not into this field of coach bizness but I liked the way you presented stuff. Keep up n all the best!!!
Greetings, I drive a school bus currently and have held my CDL-B Airbrakes, Passenger endorsement for three years. Let me know if you would like more information, I am in the Boston area currently.
What state are you located in? I'm interested in devoting my time into your company. Let's chat and make something happen, your time is very much appreciated, my man. Enjoy each day
Hey Skip, the annual income is higher than $30,000 per year for a full time driver. I would imagine it's somewhere between $50 - $70k. Regardless of what type of bus you drive it is imperative to always show up early to thoroughly pre-trip your vehicle and, because bus drivers carry such precious cargo, it doesn't matter if you get paid. It's safety and caring. It's a great gig, demanding and rewarding! Have a great one :)
Typically you get paid by the mile anyway. Showing up early to pretrip the coach shows professionalism and caring about job performance. Oh, and the pretrip is mandated by DOT.
