No matter what you are driving if it's a motor coach school bus you should always dress professional. I drive school buses no parent wants a slob driving their kids to school
A great way to photograph bus work in the open future of a new battery of political assumptions in the open business of a garbage of things of great buses in open politics of things.
Different by operator. Easiest thing to catch is look on the panels, usually to the right, sometimes to the left, for two of anything. On greyhound, I believe, and it’s been a while, it’s the fuel pump. Some coaches it’s the four ways, this is the first time I’ve seen step well lights. Many (most?) have the electronic lockout on the keypad, all but a very few (usually commuter coaches) have some sort of lockout or trick to get them started. I have seen two bus companies that have no such thing. Flip the battery, flip light switch to run (the older coaches) or the switch (forgot what it was called) on the new ones, fire it up and off ya go. Of course the inability to hide anywhere in a forty five foot, twenty eight ton rolling billboard is the prime deterrent.
Not accurate at all ive seen drivers that dress like slobs and smash equipment get promoted from school bus to coach and good drivers dress professional stuck in school buses....its all politics in this industry who gets anywhere. Im glad i left
@@johndeerefan725 No. Its that the gauges are made by Actia. Which Bluebird once used before switching to Ametek. The Actia clusters chime and sweep like that
Depends on company as well I worked for a company that promoted drivers who dressed down and scrapped up equipment and got silly tickets. I left because I didn't fit the profile they wanted.
groups may want professionalism, but they absolutely demand cheap. there is no use for professionalism in that business, just the lowest price the group can get for the bus. never mind the group spends 500$ to 1000$ a day on junk food etc, they want the bus to be as cheap as it can be. sorry this is just from experience.
Larry keep it up brother! Glad to see that Village is on UA-cam! Outstanding! Great video! A Hello to my motorcoach operator brothers and sisters! 😁😎 🚌
Greatlooking coach except for the instrument cluster. It has never looked good on the J 4500. This dash config came from the E serries coach that ha a totaly different instrument cluster and it looked fantastic. I drove one for 5 years and loved it. When the Js came out the just slaped some gauges in it and it was awefull it looked like an after thought. The new gauges look just as bad.
Motor coach companies are just like trucking companies. All they want are warm bodies that’ll work cheap. The reason this video promotes driving as a “lifestyle “ is to take attention away from the fact that the pay an benefits are terrible. As a CDL driver you accept a tremendous amount of liability when you get behind the wheel and the pay doesn’t come close to compensating you for that liability. That’s why the turnover rate is so high. There’s no driver shortage. There’s a pay shortage.
@@sylwesterwoodest1094 what exactly do you mean by thin neck drivers? Because my neck circumference is a bit bigger than 17 inches and because of that I'm on a CPAP and I still got my CDL learner's permit
I would just like to say one thing here. Whether you're a bus driver or motor coach operator , YOU should NOT have to put be the one that puts the luggage away. There's 50 of them and just one of you . Now, is it fair that ONE person have to put away over 50 pieces of luggage.....they come with more than one suit case per person. What if you hurt yourself....whos' gonna drive then. I say to all drivers DO NOT pick up a single more suit case !!
very good video, I am taking my training to become a motor couch driver. Just have my first drive today and wow this buses are different than school buses, the only thing I found wear was the amount of play on the steering wheel.
This is a great safety and learning tutorial. I am a retired city transit driver from Vancouver, Canada with 35 years service and I now drive a charter motor coach part time as a retirement gig, simply because I still love driving a coach at 71 years of age. Again, kudos to you and Village Tours on a great tutorial, keep up the good work.
@@DontchaHateDat coach driving is not a career it is a hobby. you can not make a living because retirees who can afford to work cheaper (pension social security etc) undercut you and drive wages down. thats just how it is.
Is it just me or did the startup noise sound like a bluebird bus startup noise
Thanks for telling everyone about the step light genius
Should I ever take that coach bus for school.
Now we know the secret security features 😂
No matter what you are driving if it's a motor coach school bus you should always dress professional. I drive school buses no parent wants a slob driving their kids to school
Do a search for how to replace a switch and keep getting this video.....WHY?
Bluebird chime
Great way to get a bus going correctly.
A gewat way to photograph a bus.
A great way to photograph bus work in the open future of a new battery of political assumptions in the open business of a garbage of things of great buses in open politics of things.
Why do I need a social security number to use a bus? Why not employee ID #?
A great video to publish how wielding videos work.
It sounds like blue bird Start sound
Thank you so much, made me look like a hero
I am glad for this footage and these black village coaches on the road they look sharp
What a wonderful way to show a potential thief ,how to start a coach

I did a transmission on one today and I couldn’t get it to start until I saw this video lol I was stumped
👎👎
a good security feature resuming that is a worth 800
Great Bus
so, F2 then 7 - 2 - 5 - 4 then F5 then press _Start_ to start *Got it!*
To bad every one i have been decides to shit the transmission
the apartment reported that they have to speak into 10 foreign languages to be translated before anything exists
Filmed on a iPad
this guy is hard to listen to and super boring
Now that I know about it, it isn’t such a good security feature
Agreed that makes mcis easy to steal
still needs the interlock disabled but yea lol

the chime is from bluebird
Bluebird vision
The gauge sweep is also from Blue Bird. Unless they quietly merged with Blue Bird or a company that acquired MCI is owned by Blue Bird.
@@johndeerefan725 No. Its that the gauges are made by Actia. Which Bluebird once used before switching to Ametek. The Actia clusters chime and sweep like that
and I drive a motor coach tooo

I call charter busses busabuenos
Good overview. If you are a coach or bus driver wanted to step up to coach. Worth the time.

When the Js came out the just slaped some gauges in it and it was awefull it looked like an after thought. The new gauges look just as bad.
To each their own,,but I like all the gauge styles lol

the the requirement of only thin necks drivers. the shortage will become bigger.

Beautiful coach bus

6400az I definitely agree. I make the passengers help me load their luggage
6400az tips, that's why.
I never thought about it that way

I love these coaches! I used to drive these for Lenzner Coach Lines/ Coach USA. GREAT DRIVING BUSES
Oh yeah? So did I, a while back though. Good times, good times.
very good video, I am taking my training to become a motor couch driver. Just have my first drive today and wow this buses are different than school buses, the only thing I found wear was the amount of play on the steering wheel.
mike cioka you won't be disappointed
the pay sucks to be a couch driver

Trevor Batstone I cannot wait to begin my career as a professional motor coach operator! I'm gonna start as a school bus driver though....

Great video! The J4500 is one of my favorite coaches and I really like its appearance.
Im with you on that one!! The brand new 2017 ones are the bomb!
