    Your vlogs are very satisfying! I'm a charter bus driver in Indiana. I can't believe you can sleep in the driver seat like that. I can never get comfortable!

      Haha, I will make myself sleep anywhere anytime 💤

      Yep, all new motorcoaches have to comply with EPA emissions standards (DEF, particulate filter, etc). Peoria Charter also refuels with biodiesel at their facilities

    Albert I promise to learn your name! I wanted to let you know that you do an excellent job! You'll make James and Peoria Charter very proud. And I'm so confident that you could drive in New York rush hour traffic.

    is it possible you can make a full trip video? like without cuts? i would watch it even if its 1-3 hours long. i feel like theres too many cuts and not enough enjoying the ride.

    • @alblua
      @alblua  7 місяців тому +1

      Sure! I might do some uncut videos in the future :)

    Looks like a very tastey meal you had at the retro diner. Did you save the rest of your chicken fajita skillet to have later for leftovers? I liked seeing the Chicago Skyline the big building illuminated in pretty colors at night time. Hope you show more bus trips like this one I enjoyed watching and felt like I just went on a trip without leaving the comforts of home🏙🚌😎👍

    • @alblua
      @alblua  7 місяців тому +1

      Yep, took the rest home for a late late night dinner! Chicago is a very pretty city, but I'm a little biased. I'll try to take as many trips as I can when I'm allowed to escape the office desk! 😂

    My compliments to you. You are a very smooth driver keep it up. What is the phone that tells you overhead height. Do you just point it and why do you wear a glove on your right hand? Keep up the great videos for an old driver. Me

    • @alblua
      @alblua  7 місяців тому

      Thank you! I just use my phone's camera and zoom in to see the bridge clearance. I have an S23 Ultra that has 100x zoom which lets me see signs far away. I usually wear white gloves while driving (passenger experience, better wheel grip, and keeps hands cool), but I take off the left glove to be able to use the phone and ELD touch screen.

      Nope, this has a Detroit DD13 with an Allison transmission. There isn't a hybrid motorcoach that exists as far as I know in the US.
