I love travel and operating large vehicles. I became a Motor Coach operator and learned to fly airplanes. I also love food. This channel is for me to document all of my travel adventures and show it to the public.
I also love flight simulators in which i post some of my live flight streams on here also.

i think that McDonald's trains it's employees to not make any eye contact with anyone at the front register. Shameful.
Branson MO, the place were rude drivers from Greyhound tells everyone to get off take a break . then drives away and goes to sleep for 4 hours. Leaving passenger without even knowing whats going on. From travelling you tuber Noel Philips out of Houston. "Worst bus journey with greyhound".
HOW MUCH DOES A YOU TUBER ACTUALLY MAKE ? how does it work ? i`VE GOT THIS IDEA OF A TRUE CRIME & PRISON RELATED CHANNEL OR MAYBE SOMETHING GUITAR AND /OR KEYBOARD THING BUT IT SEEMS THERE ARE SO MANY OUT THERE ALREADY. BUT NOT THE FIRST THING I MENTIONED. HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NORWAY.
In my dreams ! Winning the lottery is of course next to hopeless, but every week someone get to take a a load off so one just never knows. But I could apply for a job with the local bus company. Here I am, poor as h......, trying to find a job but things like getting a job is just gone from the dictionary nowadays. but driving a bus ? why not. HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM NORWAY.

I found you tonight from my suggested videos, I saw a video from Schaumburg to Champaign. then I recognized a car at the start of your trip in Schaumburg, an apocalyptic Rav4 who's our customer at the Toyota Dealership I've worked IT at for 20 years. at 15:58 your IT cable management is absolutely trash down the walls. lol. i want out of the car biz, and i think the bus biz might be a the move. if you are hiring a Networking nerd.
@@jamesking890 appreciate the comment. Sorry we are not hiring for a network position. We are hiring for drivers though.
I’ve been wondering about non-drive time pay. Do drivers get paid for all on duty hours or just drive time?
And Love the channel!!!
Yes. Drives get paid from the time they leave the garage to the time they get back and done with all paperwork.
Make it so, Captain!
It’s amazing that they’re so many people there. It does at times make the experience not enjoyable.
I was a passenger on this bus 38 years ago. Some things never change. Go Illini! ILL…
Oh my goodness, I love this! Where do I apply to be a loader? 😭❤️
Please let us all know the day you get your new chair. We can celebrate with you.
James, How big is the lav? Larger than a H3-45 ?
I know I’m late to this video but imagine making an electric bus ($$$$$$$$$$$$) and not putting multiple charge ports all over it 😆 engineering fail at its finest
Great video
Great video. Job well done . I wish them many years together.
Excellent and inspiring video. I used to ride the Peoria Charter in the late 1980's when I was attending Illinois State University in Bloomington/Normal Illinois. It would take me to Oakbrook Mall where my parents would pick me up or drop me off.
at almost 40 there is not a doubt in my mind that by the time I get to my (God willing) natural death, electric vehicles will be the norm. However, the infrastructure is just not there yet.
Man lately I been binge watching your channel and I don’t even drive a bus. You’re editing and choice of music is on another level. I stay around Chinatown area always down to eat just lmk! Yes I guess I’m a fan now haha
Best video so far
It is so nice to see Swarthout Coaches from Ithaca NY in the video James 😊
The clearance should be posted near the marker lights in front of the coach.
Perfect pre-trip inspection, safety first!
Dont worry your bus clearance is 11"6.
@@JerryBrumfield I thought MCI j models are 11"10
Hey James I see that you are driving my favorite coach the MCI J4500. Excellent choice.
Hey James I been enjoying your videos especially the one when you left Lakeland, Florida back to Illinois on the Mercedes Tourrider for the 1,000 miles trip. I've been driving motor coaches for nearly 20 years but my favorite bus is the MCI J4500. Maybe one day I would like to come to Champaign/Urbana, Illinois one day. Thanks for showing your videos to all CLD holders.
Been seeing Peoria Charter for years .
I know it's an old video but is that a Nextel?
@@jdiaz-nr6du no it's not a Nextel. It is a T-Mobile push to talk. It sounds like a Nextell.
James. Much respect for you. As an owner it would be easy for you to delegate the driving to others but you show people that you will are willing to do any job needed. True role model for your team!!
Been by the food court building many times on the way to the many restaurants in China Town, but thought it was closed (didn’t know I had to go to the basement!) Most of the old great China Town restaurants have closed over the years, but there are many new ones to explore.
The rest of the story! You saved me many trips to Champaign to return my kid to school!
who sings the song im too tired? got hooked on your videos thanks
@@JimJohnson17 thanks Jim! The artist is Zorrow. The song is on epidemic sounds.
@@JWangvlogs could you send a link to it couldnt fined it. all the best keep making videos when you can. thanks.
I'm sorry but wearing a ball cap with a shirt and tie is not a good look and unprofessional. Go back to the hats pilots wear. Much more professional and better look.
@@raymondcaruso507 Thank you for your opinion. To each their own I guess.
Back in the day (1979-83), I frequently took the Champaign-Chicago weekend bus. We rode Greyhound busses that picked us up and dropped us off on Wright Street in Champaign. Most of the busses went to the suburbs. I rode one that dropped me off and picked me up at the Jefferson Park terminal of the CTA. A round trip ticket cost $22. The video brought back fond memories!
I’ve got my passengers or my seates or my luggage
is there a school for charter bus drivers?
been to Downers Grove and Palos Park
Rona said it was good enough pay get her $100 nails done. May I ask what avg rate drivers make?
Nice to see as an owner you taking an incredibly active role in the company, not only driving but treating your team with respect...speaks volumes about the future of Peoria Charter. You want to provide quality service and that starts at the top...you make your team feel respected and an integral part of the company and the quality goes was up, nice to see this level of involvement.
Hahahahahaha 😂 This guy are very funny what’s his talking about new bus.. But it’s not new bus 🤣🤣😂😂
Professional teamwork! Greyhound should learn from you guys Lol. they look horrible in respect to service * customer services, from what I've seen on you tube. but then again, many drivers in NYCT turns their head LEFT when an old lady asks questions for directions Lol. retired nyct b/o😜
Are you still making runs to Woodfield? Let me know ill treat you to coffee or lunch or breakfast lol. Cool videos, much respect to what you do.
Is my daughter rides the same bus to Champaign that I rode to Bradley in the 80’s. She likes it better than I did, but that’s saying something. Godspeed. You are carrying some very valuable cargo.
You can have the American dream. Congratulations Sam.
