Great Tutorial. . Nice fleet of Academy buses along with transit buses, So many different makes and models. Thanks for showcasing.

I see you bro , keep striving . I’m actually just obtaining my CDL class b with passengers endorsement and air brakes , and I have a interview with academy Monday . Wish me luck ! 🤞🏾

Love your enthusiasm. I’m a long time coach operator and have experience in many models. Setra is my fav but the Prevost H3-45 is an excellent coach too.

Great video and welcome to bus driving. I'm a 15 year veteran who switched to cargo van briefly and I can say the one major benefit is the passengers load themselves. Lol. As well I feel vs truck driving your not as lonely per say. You have the people factor. Aside from a few bad apples for the most part you will meet some great passengers in this industry. Anyways thanks for the great video and please keep them coming.

I was academy bus driver

Fye videos bro can't wait to start driving myself stay safe!!!

I work for the Academy Orlando division. Also a bus enthusiast! I keep asking them if I can help out up north, especially Boston! I'm from there.

Nice video bro!

Thank you..I need this video..

Super cool 😎

I like driving the Vanhool buses

Our Prevost's seat 54 passengers. I'm with your company too but in North Carolina.

That’s what’s up man I still have that microwave you gave me back In Kentucky that one time lol

Question Dom! How was it or how is it working with Academy Bus. Is the pay good and do they pay weekly or bi-weekly. Thinking about dropping my authority parking my truck and go back to buses.

How many weeks of training did they give you? As a motorcoach operator do you have regular runs or so they have you on call? You wasn't lying about greyhound especially when they give you runs you didn't want to do. I don't my cdl yet i still plan to study for my cdl permit again. How long was you a trucker before you went to Greyhound then Academy Bus?

Liked your video and loved looking at those mta buses, I retired from the company a couple years ago, looking to get back into driving so why did you leave Greyhound, I'm interested in applying

Question bro ? If you don’t mind me axing why did you quit Greyhound i’m interested and doing my CDL and Thinking about going to Greyhound? But I heard they keep you on the extra board for like a long time is that true ?

Im fixing to start with greyhound soon. Do you know of any owner operators of a coach and drive under the authority of one of these bigger companies?

Can u use the gps like rand McNally for bus

Do you have to live where you apply? I’d love to get to training

I like coach buses however I will drive a school bus for a company that treats me like gold vs a coach bus company that treats me like shit any day

Secaucus

No disrespect to you but you sound like a kid who's simply excited about driving buses. I started working part-time at Academy back in 1997 at Hoboken and learned all too quickly that Academy was so unfair to their drivers with respect to pay. Drivers were cheated out of wages and I had my share of those experiences too. Back during those days, drivers could compensate by using the buses for personal endeavors. After the company installed GPS and cameras, those opportunities waned. Long days with low pay. Heavy load bearing work like airport pickups for 50 people who have 100 Lbs of luggage each. You could end up packing nearly 5,000 Lbs of baggage in the bay area, all by yourself, especially at New York area airports. You will do the same at ship terminals too and hope that people will tip you. An extremely annoying regulation that Academy had and still has is the governance of the bus engines. Academy buses have a maximum speed of 68 MPH! Say your'e on the road in a state like Virginia where the speed limit is 70, you'll have a most difficult time to flow with traffic. We pleaded with the company for years to turn the governors up and they steadfastly refused. You come to work and learn that your job was cancelled? Academy doesn't compensate you. You'd better hope that something else opens up or you'll go home with no pay. That's the Academy way.

Hey bro! How can I dress for the driver position, interview at Academy?

Wrong! That is a Orion 7
