After leaving Prime I decided I'd return to the drivers seat of a Motor Coach and drive for Academy
After doing a bunch of refreshers and driving an empty bus all over I got cleared to begin working. Literally a few days on the job I got called to Run down to Florida and help with the Orange Bowl 2021, check this out.

I starting look into bus driving as a former truck driver and continuing to go thru the hoops and hurtles with these companies. I decided to go that route as a bus driver and you sold me on the suit and tie plus is added plus! don’t mind to travel for work either. Thanks for the heads up!

You’ll love it and it’ll be fun. Sometimes the endorsement process can be a headache but once you’re rolling it’s great and it’s pretty easy work. It’s less money but the experience makes it worth it! Hope all goes well and you have a ton of fun. Suit and tie, can’t beat it!!

For sure! I use to drive with greyhound and did the occasional charter here and there but with this gig it’s always charters. It’s pretty fun and the money isn’t too far off either. I can certainly say I’m having fun.

This is such an under rated CDL job. I was going to get my CDL A but I'm such a people person I'd much rather drive busses. There is an art form to being a great bus driver and I'm hoping to get into the field soon whether it be an charter driver or route driver.

I can't find you on ig.. I need advice and have tons l off questions. I have my cdl peanut and trying to decide should I get my class a and drive trucks local or get my class b and drive motor coach bus locally! I heard it's more money in class a but I know I would like driving busses better.. Also, i'm a single mother of three young children and can't travel as much. I can travel every other week because I do joint custody with their dad! Any advice for me?
