New sub here. Came across the prom video as my first. Hilarious seeing your captions 🤣. Great sense of humor and i can tell you really love this job. Something that people lost. Pride in their work. Not just a check! Our school chartered out 3 of these in 2007. Obviously not the same make or model, but it was fun! The driver made us feel very safe for a 2 day trip. Loved the movies he had. Thanks for letting us come in 2nd place for the robotics national championship
@@alblua I'm trying my hardest to remember if it was greyhounds or not. Had the brighter seat colors, exact replica of an airplane overhead bins, and a bathroom. Last row was lifted a bit higher.
Wait, you work for Peoria charter too? All I’ve seen are J Wang videos about PCC, but I’m happy to have found someone else to subscribe to for PCC content!
*SERIES 60 DETROIT! NICE!* A Legendary Engine. 14-Liter?!? This is an MCI, right?!? I was Reading About Coaches having Cummins Engines now, X12s. Which makes me Wonder, what the Manufacturers are going to do when the X10 Replaces it? An X15 would be a Bit Much for a Coach, but even so! LOVE the Videos, Brother! Keep Up the Excellent Work! You're Living the Commercial Driver Dream, man! I've always wanted to be( *AND WILL STILL BE* ), a Truck Driver, but having been a Bus and Coach Passenger in this Life, I thought I'd Try that Out, just to See what it's like. And...😅🤣😃!!! Wisconsin doesn't want me doing that(at least Not Milwaukee, where I live...). I Applied at Badger Coaches, too. Never heard back... Greetings from Southern Milwaukee County, man! 🤣😅😃!!! 105 Minutes North of you!
Yes, this a MCI J4500 with a Detroit Series 60! The J4500 only comes with the Cummins X12 right now. I don't recall what MCI's engine plan for the future is, but they were evaluating the X15 at one point. Sorry to hear it didn't work out, good luck on your commercial driving career!
What is the name of the tool you used to pull bags in your luggage bay and where is it available. I drive for a Palm Springs, CA charter bus company. Its hot and some of my airport runs can get a little tough.😰
I have two kinds! If you want sturdy, get a 5th wheel hook. It's a little hard to pack, but it's a much stronger and robust solution than the one you saw in the video. I only bring it if I know there's going to be a LOT of heavy luggage, and it pulls them well. For the one you saw in the video, look for a telescoping truck cargo grabber (or something along the lines of pickup truck bed grabber). The telescoping feature means it packs smaller, but it also tends to be flimsier and might struggle a little bit more with heavy bags.
Our fleet coordinator and maintenance team work together to figure out where buses need to go. I have a place in Chicago to stay and then I usually ride as a passenger on a schedule bus back to Urbana
have you gotten the inside scoop on their potential future buses? are they gonna buy Prevost H3-45s again soon? what was the feed back from drivers who drove the H3-45 that used to be with the company? also doesn’t that whistling on the vanhool bus get annoying? i know it would drive me crazy after some time
We already have 6 Prevost H3-45s! There are three 2020's of the older style, and three 2024's that are the redesigned 100 Edition. They're a favorite in the fleet among drivers and customers. The demo H3-45 you saw me drive was an experiment of sorts running H3-45's out of our Urbana facility. Yes, that whistling noise definitely drives me crazy too! All the older VanHools aren't particularly known for tight seals around the cracks (new ones have yet to stand the test of time).
Sorry, I'm not Korean so I'll have to use the help of a translator! To be able to drive a bus in the US, you'll need to pass a DOT physical and obtain a CDL Class B with minimum passenger endorsement. Most buses have air brakes, so you'll need the air brake endorsement too. Charter endorsement allows you to transport K-12 passengers; not necessary, but will limit the type of trips you can drive.
I'm not sure what paperwork you're referring to in the video since I didn't include it. However, there are certain things a driver is required to complete before they can even move a bus for the day, which include vehicle inspection reports and HOS certification
Alblua bro your driving skills are so professional, I'm sure you will hit 100k subs soon.
Thanks! Still a long way to go 😅

I'm glad you enjoy watching! 🥳
That's very cool! Now I know I need to prepare a movie collection next time just in case 😅

Hmm, last row lifted higher makes me want to think it was a VanHool C2045, but there could be other possibilities!
I literally clicked on your video when it popped up on my screen lol and your also gonna reach 3k subs :D
Getting close! I'm surprised it's already almost at 3k 😱
Me to when I first watched you it was at like 1k but now your almost at 3k
Time passes by
Your driving skills is a-1 , that engine in that j4500 sound soo goood , we need another pov video with this bus 😅
I like driving the older J4500s too, so I'll try to get as many videos as I can with them!
Wow, you had a long day. Good night

Nice video great picture quality. Who decides what bus is assigned to a line run? Did you drive your car or a coach back to Urbana the next day?

How many does Peoria Charter buys brand new buses per year?
Usually only a couple per year, if any. Last year was a little different when we got all the new buses!
have you gotten the inside scoop on their potential future buses? are they gonna buy Prevost H3-45s again soon? what was the feed back from drivers who drove the H3-45 that used to be with the company?
also doesn’t that whistling on the vanhool bus get annoying? i know it would drive me crazy after some time

非常專業👍
謝謝！🙏
One day I will be a bus driver like you❤. can you do a full drivepov video.
What country is this?
This is the US! Our schedule routes are too long for me to record POV, it can be up to 3-4 hrs driving one way with all stops on our suburb routes!
Hey Alblua why do the paperwork before driving the coach????
I'm not sure what paperwork you're referring to in the video since I didn't include it. However, there are certain things a driver is required to complete before they can even move a bus for the day, which include vehicle inspection reports and HOS certification
Oh okay what about hours you have todo????
DOT limits the hours you can drive and be on duty per day; you have to certify your records are correct for each day
This must be Peoria Charter.
All commercial drivers in the US must follow DOT regulations. This is standard and federal law across the industry for bus and truck drivers
you should show the all driving route dont show faces of the passengers just the show the route good work
The route is too long! It's about 3-4 hours one way with all stops for our suburb schedules. My cameras would either overheat or run out of battery.
@@alblua gotchu i feel you i mean i do 4-5 hours routes as well on ets2 gets little stressful sometimes but yeah man i understand💯
It's been a while since I've driven on ETS2, I used to spend many hours on it too!
@@alblua yeah man gotta work hard for the company 😹👍🏽
✌🏾
And I’m first viewer :D
Woohoo! 🎉
