I love it when people post their line of work, it’s like take your child to work day all over as adults. It’s also nice cause some may not be content and these insightful videos may encourage profession changes.
Bus driving is definitely where it’s at! Nothing better than finishing a trip, and the people on board are giving you a genuine thanks for your driving……well that and the free food at some of our stops 😂
This is cute and all, but try driving transit buses like me for 15 years. That’s a whole new planet. People will verbally and physically assault you, disrespect you, and many people feel entitled. Furthermore, most people don’t appreciate what you do for them. I would say driving charter busses is where it’s at. Less stress!
Yea you can make money it just depends on the company I was averaging like 1800 a week at my last company at this company I make decent money not 18 but I have the weekends off
@@bessemerboy7135If you're in Alabama you can look up Groome Transportation. I was a CDL driver for them in Georgia and Alabama. The hourly pay isn't much, but I made a good amount of money in cash tips. Especially around the holidays. Sometimes I'd get $400+ from one trip to the Airport. I only left because I relocated to the west coast. But I actually loved working for them.
@@bessemerboy7135Btw, I went through Greyhound to get my CDL and left. I'm not a fan of new drivers working for Greyhound because they throw you over the road on long trips asap. I've driven public transportation and school buses as well. I think the easiest way to get the CDL (the class B and, P & S endorsement) is through the school district.
I’m currently a truck driver for a company in Southern New Jersey. Worked with them for 7 years so far and had my CDL class A for 15 years. I plan on moving on to driving coach buses part time to make retirement pocket change. I’ve always loved buses too.
Have you heard of Central Transport? LTL company. They start you off at $33 in Secaucus NJ. I have an interview with them Monday. I only have 5 months driving experience, doing regional. I hate it. This new opportunity will be local though
Keep up your passion, don't let nothing spoil it for you. I've been driving coaches for over 26 years part time and you have to let the good out way the bad days. You also have to be a people person and you're the captain of your ship and when people get that vibe from you, it's rewarding and you get more respect. ✌️🚍 and be safe sister.♥️ Let me know if you need a few pointers 👍🏿
@@TruckerActivity2 Just words of wisdom, safety-wise, learn to respect the coach, I had a front tire blow on me at 70 MPH go off the shoulder and hit a tree. I was life flight to a trauma center in Atlanta and it took a year to recover from that. It was one thing that humbled me about these coaches.
3:28 because of course they dont, MTA is public transit, and you pretty much nailed it. As long as youre operating no more than 150 AIR MILES from base, you can run up to 14 hours driving. Thats pretty much any public transit. That said its become abundantly clear that public transit, especially the support side and mechanics is right for me
You stay safe out there. I could not do it. I will stick with semi. I'm praying for success. Driving's not the problem it's the people too many weirdos. I don't want to deal with that.
I hear you. One of the guys that drives for the dedicated customer I haul for drove for Capitol trail ways of Pennsylvania even after Carl R Bieber tour ways bought them out but they went out of business and since then he went to flatbed tractor trailer. He did drive tractor trailer prior to motor coach.
I feel you but even like trucking I think the company plays a big part. I’m not saying that I work for the best company but the passengers are different here vs like a greyhound. Management is different depending on the company.
I might try buses one day. Seems like class B money is better than driving trucks and getting paid by the mile and sleeping in parking lots lol Buses been your passion for a while. Passengers be so happy once they reach their destination and return home thanking the driver.
I think it all just depends on the company. Yes I love the bus. I’m still searching for my right company though lol I think I found a better situation but I do like this company bc I’m off on the weekends but at this company there is definitely some leaks in the foundation.
I retired from metropolitan area transit authority ( metro) in Washington DC and now drive charter bus and love it. I have a class a drivers license and drove for swift for about two years 95 through 97 and left to drive buses and never look back. MTA in Baltimore, Metropolitan area, transit authority in DC and Rideon in Montgomery county Make tons of money with overtime. The company I’m with now have a contract with Flixbus and I made 350 a day going from Washington DC to New York City round-trip ✌️👍🏿

I have Class A w Passenger endorsement. Drove school bus for a bit but haven’t been able to hit the road w truck or bus/coach because of supporting my Mom in my home. I lean toward Coach, though. May eventually try driving bus in Alaska from April-September for the Cruise lines (Holland America/Princess). They provide free lodging (w room mate) … not sure of other details.
I used to think about driving a bus when I was doing Otr (Schneider making $700 weekly 😒) now I’m doing Cdl food service making 3x more but working hard lol thanks for the video, maybe when my body can’t take it I won’t mind driving busses.
You can drive Class A combination tractor trailer with a bus; we do it all the time over here on the entertainer motorcoach/concert touring side. I still drive seated coach in the off-season too. Looks like you were driving a Prevost earlier and then switched to a Temsa.😊
