- Day 2 in Branson Spent traveling to a beautiful nature spot in Dogwood Canyon which was one hour outside of Branson and then to Hard Work U also known as Ozark University.
We finished off the evening with a trip to the Titanic Museum and a show at Presley's Jamboree in Branson.
Enjoyed some awesome food including some really good catfish for dinner.
the Prevost handled pretty well except for a few minor complaints which i mentioned in the video.

Nice music. Thanks for all of your videos.
Enjoy your videos.. Blessings to you.. and Peoria Charter 😊🙏
I want to hit the thumbs up a thousand times. Great job! My very last bus tour was too Branson. Brought back many great memories. Terrific Job James.
Hey thanks James. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I like your name as well lol.
James... your attitude toward the student education at College of the Ozarks is spot on! There are SO many opportunities in the modern day U.S. to re-learn the value and effectiveness of the tried and true apprenticeship model. Love your videos. What was very clear to me here... love your positive attitude toward life and the lessons that each day brings. Don't stop!!!
Thanks Billy. Appreciate the kind words. Our society does not appreciate good work ethic anymore. Im glad to see a school that promotes that still. Earn everything you have. Thats a good lesson to teach to the young.
Love the music selection, James.
Thanks Steve. Thats actually the hardest part of making one of these. Before I start putting any footage down I have to have the right music.
@@JWangvlogs Keep up the good work, amigo. 😀
Great Job , as usual, J. This is definitely my dream job. If I could go back and do it all over again...
Thank you for your kinds words Brian. Ive noticed several of your comments indicates that you have no chance to ever be a coach operator... I would love to hear your story if you want to share. My email is Jwang@peoriacharter.com. Of course I understand if you do not want to share your story. Always appreciate reading your comments Brian!
I just want to note that your vlogs style is really nice and relaxing. Always nice choice in music and your shooting is on point along with your editing. Keep it up! I know your busy but would love to see more on this channel too!
What a wonderful idea to have university where you "work"
Both my sons graduated from hard work u. While some discouraged it because it is strict I remember our school board president telling me they would hire a c of o grad over anyone else because they understand work.
I like that concept of debt free studying. Currently not applicable with afro an universities
Great job love the music cool blog
Great video James. Loved it. I was talking to my doctor yesterday here in Florida and she told me she went to school in Champaign-Urbana. I told her "Oh, you are a Fighting Illini." She lit up and in shock said, YES, how did u know about that? I told her I have learned a lot about the university from your videos I regularly watch. She said she might start tuning in as well. All the best.
Haha thanks for the advertising Corey! It's a Small world isn't it? Really appreciate the comment.
Thanks James
This was very well done Sir, I really enjoyed the music and I liked the views from the front window... I drove a Semi for many years and we never got eat that good. You know how to get it in.. I should have gotten my passenger endorsement .... 😆 Thanks for sharing, We are waiting on PT. 3
Herbie & Mary..
Thank you so much Herbie and Mary! Appreciate the kind words. I have another youtube channel called Motorcoachworld. its just me talking about all things bus. Here is the link. th-cam.com/channels/4qIwFAldR_DEpYVdeQmw_Q.html
Great travel log. Only one tiny problem: it is 5:21 AM, I was planning to get a little more sleep. But after seeing the great foods I am hungry! I love the "Hard Work U" concept. Graduating with professional skills, people experience, and a work ethic, AND NO DEBT! Fantastic.
Hey Donald! I know right!?!? I wish more places were like this
Wow, it sure it's beautiful there Mr. Wang.... Thanks for sharing 👍Greetings from Texas
As a local I was proud to see you and the group visit Branson. Welcome any time. We love having you here.
I would just like to ad that Setra has the fastest blinds in the business!
I do like the Setra blinds except they block the mirrors if you lower them too much.
Great Video!👌
Great music!!!
"Don't even think about going down this road." I wonder how sticky situations had to happen for them to use that particular wording? 😄
Haha someone had to learn that the hard way
*how many
Hey James, I just recently found your videos. They're great! You seem like a good dude that works hard, and you care about what you do. Thanks for bringing us along!
What an absolutely brilliant school
Was starting to think you were the only bus there. Good to see others. Figured you’d enjoy it. Seems as if you have.
Hello James! I grew up near Branson. It is so nice to see the familiar places and you talking so kindly and warmly about it. I have many memories of spending time there with family. The Keeter Center has such good food!! I can’t imagine driving a bus on those roads. Lol
Hi Anna! Means a lot to me to read your comment. I am glad that my videos can bring back fond memories to others. I can't imagine how much fun it would have been to grow up in Branson. Are you still in the area or have you moved far away? Thanks for the comment.
@@JWangvlogs I live in Kansas City now, so I’m about 3.5 hours away. I still go back and visit family. It was so fun growing up near there. During the summer, it is jammed packed going to the amusement parks (silver dollar city and white water) and the shows. The lakes are beautiful and fun to take a boat out on. I highly recommend taking your girls there sometime in the summer if you can! Maybe when they are a little older and tall enough for all of the rides.
Excellent video .. quality is beautiful you get better every time
You are too kind Michael. Much appreciated 😊
One of your best videos! Fun!
Thanks T Russel. Much appreciated.
Wow James, your videos are starting to take some of my nervousness away I’m feeling about starting my new job driving some of these coaches I can’t wait to get through each and everyone of your videos. I have so many questions, hopefully your videos will cover them. By the way, we’re sort of neighbors, I’m in Indiana 😊
Hey You are really close. Stop by my shop one day, we will go grab lunch
Superb content, very professional, and very enjoyable to watch. Bravo.
Way to go love the adventure. Thanks for taking us along.
Love ur ch and I am in the middle of trying to be in a coach bus career .
Thanks Bradley! Much aprpeciated. I wish you luck and success!
I’m only 24 but I own a place in Branson as a quick vacation spot from Chicago. Haven’t been in a few years but absolutely love it there
Always looking forward to your new Vlogs be safe keep up the hard work lots of love from Canada 👍👍
If I had Known you were going to be in the area I'd stopped and said HI!!!!
Haha are you in Branson?
@@JWangvlogs Just up the road in Springfield Mo.!!!!
Sweet 3 pointer!!
I don't know how I found this channel, but I like it! Great video! Driving down that small road with those trees looked sketchy! Please do more driving /trip videos if you can.
Nice video James I love the content
Hey thanks my friend. Always love seeing your comments Nate!
@@JWangvlogs you’re welcome
Great video as always! Can’t wait for part 3.
Hey thanks John. I have another bus trip this weekend. Not as far away as Branson. I am going to try to release part 3 next Wednesday.
@@JWangvlogs Thanks for the heads up James. Glad to see you’re back on the road however I’m assuming the worker shortage has hit your company as well? Noticed the large hiring banner on the back of the coach.
Thank you James for sharing your videos 👍👍👍
Glad it's bringing people Joy 🙂. Thanks for the comment Brian.
This channel is really cool, the "fly on the wall" type documentary style you have really works and makes such an interesting story. Motorcoach world seems more like back to school. I hope you concentrate more on this type of film in the future ✌
Some breakfast bar, it didn’t have any liquor drinks.
😆
@6:49 That iron bridge scene was awesome 🤩
love the videos keep up the good work!!! :)
Thanks Kevin. Appreciate it buddy.
@@JWangvlogs it kevon that my dad name
Amazing! Someone that thinks like I do. I thought of the 'X2' right before you said It. I was in the car biz for 30+ years and I was CONSTANTLY complaining to the manufacturers.
When I see a 'coach' I start drooling, lol my pals think I'm nuts. Oh well. Thanks again for putting so much work into these movies!! FF😎
BTW, now my boys wanna play ball 🏀with you 😂
Hey Fox! First of all. Great minds think alike my friend 😂. People like us see beauty In ordinary things to others.
My buddies and roommates from college all laughed at me too.
I am not a very good ball player but I al always down for shooting some hoops! If you are ever in the area hit me up.
@@JWangvlogs ☺ Cool, if we are we totally will. 😎
love it...cant wait for more
Appreciate it Phil. I'm on it.
@@JWangvlogs if you wanna out day 3 up today I won't say no 😂🤪
I always ate Grits with sugar until a waitress at Dotties in Cuba MO (Midwest travel center) suggested salt and pepper… I had no idea what I had been missing all those years!
hmmm. Ill have to check that out now! LOL Thanks for the suggestion!
Sir I assume that large oval loop thing, you were near the engine, is the dip stick, cool never seen a coach dps
Hows about a vid of the tools you use to your pre-trip tests
@@johnh10000 Hey John. I actually have a video covering that on my other channel. check it out at th-cam.com/users/motorcoachworld
The old ladies looking at you with your camera is funny😂😂😮💨12:31. I am a hospitality major and all I can say is why wasn’t this video out sooner. I would’ve went to this college if I’d known about it😭😭😭16:25 he has been waiting to say that joke ever since he bought the tickets😂😂
LOL Thanks for the comment Hydra. I know right!? I didn't know this school existed! Oh the places my job takes me.
Great video, great music - where do you get your music for these videos?
Thank you so much for the kind words. I get my music from epidemic sounds.
www.epidemicsound.com/music/search/
Awesome video James
Thanks John! When are you coming back to the coach side of things?
@@JWangvlogs I'll be sending you a video in messenger in the next few weeks
james i pretend im on these buses alot hopefully i can get back to doing that by gofundme im learning about black history and politics and i am hoping to put this up on both gofundme and you tube and twitter
Great video, James. On trips like this, do you pay for your meals or does the group?
Thanks David P.
The company gives me $35 a day for meals. That's mine to keep whether I use it or not.
On trips like these my meals are often paid for by the group or comped by the establishment.
Which is really nice for the driver.
The meals are comped by the establishment a lot in Branson. If you are the driver, they try to do everything they can for you. Most of the businesses have coach parking, and they know that, some of these tour companies allow the driver to have some amount of say in where they go to eat. If the driver can't get you there, then they don't go, or at least don't come back next year.
I’m still trying to figure out what all those things are on your windshield, I know one is your phone but what are the others??? Are they back up gps?
If the bus driver is eaten by a Raptor at the park, how will the people get home?
Lol
More of this J wang !!.. btw 20:33 what is the name of the song?
Hey Thanks MrPandaTV. The song you are referring to is called "Body to Body" By Sture Zetterberg. There is also a instrumental only version that I intermixed with the vocals.
@@JWangvlogs thanks ♥️
so how would i get to branson from chicago airport as i fly into there from london uk i usualy rent a rv for 2 months branson looks cool
Which coach do you like best Prevost or MCI?
Probably the MCI just because I'm more used to it. But don't get me wrong.. I loved driving that H3. Makes any other coach seems so much smaller.
WE NEED A BUS CO PALM BAY FL WE HAVE SCHOOL BUS ONLEY
By the way
Make a video in a average pre trip
Hey Brandley Hatch. I actually did a video just on that topic on my other channel. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/o21USg_AD3A/w-d-xo.html
Can I be 18 and apply at your company?
Unfortunately our insurance company requires our drivers to be 25 years old.... I know I went through the wait my self.
@@JWangvlogs oh no I have a long wait,but I have time to get my drivers license and cdl and gain experience during that wait
@@Slaterinshades You can sign on to a city transit company at 18 i think. You can start out driving city buses. I started out that way while going to college. Best college job ever!
@@JWangvlogs yeah MTA in nyc is hiring 18yr old but sadly I'm only 16 so I have 2 more years to go
Truck Drivers are also treated like lower class citizens. Do you have to clean the bus everyday while on this trip? All that food you eat makes me feel like I am gaining weight watching you. I also love eating at new places while traveling.
🤣
