The American spirit is resilient, things will remain though for awhile, but I firmly believe the American economy will rise again. We are hurting currently, we are all in this together, we will all come through together.
Well said Eddie W!!
As long as you don’t have people in Washington trying everything they can to divide us as Americans. So many people are so political blind now.

YES! And the Chinese are going to have a food crisis this FALL ... Lucky for them "OUR" presidents made deals with the Chinese ... guess who is going to lay claim to OUR food supply this FALL! In the mean time, look up how many presidents were/are blood related to King John thus owned by pope (inc)! I believe HAARP is being used to ensure famine in China so "Our" food stuffs can be shipped to China so they don't starve! Don't forget to vote SUCKERS!
Pat Rick China is screwed, they’ve insulted US and UK, both countries are now slowly stopping services and good from China.
Especially with to what you said, the food crisis they will have...
This SUCKS! Kyle is one of the most hard working honest guys we know, he is so cognizant of his employees through all this too!! Anyone who needs help with their bus here near AZ reach out and support a small business guy🙏👍
Andrew. Thanks for shining light on the tour bus industry.
Hang in there and keep evolving... You can't lose----unless you give up! ✊
Much love, stay strong! When we pass through we'll look you up for RV work. Thanks for the info Andrew.
Thanks Andrew for throwing some light on those of us in the entertainment industry! I run a company up in Vegas that provides video in the concert, trade show, and the production side things. It was like a hard stop for us. Last show was the 5th of March for us, then it just crashed hard. Kyle hang in there brother. We our forecasting out to 2021 before things even start up. :(
Seems he should have been able to get some of that $2.2 trillion small business grant money for under 500 employees.
Good of you to bring some attention to this, maybe the president will see it.
Another great vid Andrew and as always stay safe and give Sadie some love for me.
America was built on bravery not fear, get out there and live life.
Which members of your family are you willing to sacrifice for the stock market?
....it'll be a very short trip, experience and excursion James Hickey 🤔
..not worth the price, imho
James Hickey You are right! Let the sick and scared stay home. The rest ....to work!
America home of the dumb n infected. Well you voted the moron in
Just be sure to wear a mask.
Just watched our local news and Minnesota is sending quite a few busses for this effort. God Bless all of you and your industry. It's not going to be easy, but we need the industry. Hang in there America! We got this!
I can tell Kyle is a good guy. Good luck to him.
Absolutely 🎯🇺🇸
I know Kyle and he is truly a good man.
Thank you for sharing what’s happening in this Industry 👍🏼
Never would have thought of this industry in all this. Good show.
Praying for you all ! God bless ⛪😀💝
I agree 100% with you Kyle...from a former bus company manager now managing an airport fleet...its been crazy. But bus rv transportation indeed needs to be on the list for bailout money. Its so good to know you can get this out there. I've got a few friends that own companies from California to Florida. They've had to get creative and get into the maintenance side of service to maintain.
Just goes to show that there are so many more people and businesses that have been hurt by the shut down. It's imperative to get things going asafp.
Thanks Andrew for shedding a light on this forgotten industry. It is sad to hear, in my opinion it was not necessary to shut down the whole economy. I'm sure there are ways to stay open and being responsible at the same time, we will see as some states are reopening. Good to hear Kyle has a fallback plan but so many suffered.
I agree with you completely
@@markreynolds9135 What do you have an immune system for? Yet people are allowed to shop at Walmart throughout all of this.....insanity. The fearmongering is worse than the virus itself.
Everything will be fine Naver 4 get the best thing is time some time we just need to take a little break I'm praying for you guy's and keep on Rocking 🚍
I hope Kyle and his business can get some help. Sucks to have all of those beautiful buses just sitting still.
Fade To Black LLC even if they get a billion dollars in bailout the coaches still can’t move:((
I was operating AirBnB up to January 2020. Then in March, there was a tsunami of cancellations. Within a week, all the dozens of bookings lined up was all cancelled. My property that used to be buzzing with tourist suddenly became a ghost house. It was unbelievable. But the bills did not stop coming - that's the horror part.
Tough crazy times. I think we are on our way out of this mess and Im bullish on America. None of this was our doing. Kyle is a smart businessman and I like how he has shifted the operation to include more of the repair/upgrade side of things for other owners.
Great video and sad video. Unfortunately the airlines get the bailouts because they have huge lobbying. Money talks in Washington. Hope Kyle is getting enough business on the maintenance side.
Thanks for sharing.
Izzy
Thanks Izzy
You nailed it Izzy, lobbyist are ridiculously influential
Heather and Court They control Washington. Nothing has changed same old thing. And probably never will unless we say enough but all they do is divide us on the most stupid things and so many fall for it.
I remember that dreadful March day... "we just had to cancel the tour...'" ..
Hang in there buddy!!!
hold on tight....we will rise again! I shall buy one soon!
Sad to hear the same thing is happening in the UK at the moment, best of luck to Kyle and everyone else in a similar position 🏴
Andrew thank you so much for showing the bus industry on how it’s doing with the pandemic and all. I hope it worked out on their behalf for getting support from the White House.
Hang In There....Kyle..Ppl don't know how important u guys are until...There is a catastrophe hopefully not....Then it's well we can use those Coaches to move ppl or help ppl....When clearly u guys need help know...Stay Strong And Positive....It will all work out...
I work for AEG Live and I know exactly what this guy is talking about
As a entertainer and seated charter driver I feel his pain. My company was in DC and Jefferson City, Mo for the rallies. I'm still not working.
Yea, they need to take care of Bus companies. Write to them.
It’s sad in these times it should be what’s good for one should be good for all ! NO PICK AND CHOOSE ON WHO GETS THE HELP !! Sad deal for sure , I have friends who own small businesses and they are close to loosing everything !!
This is heartbreaking I drive tour buses out of Nashville I can’t believe this happened
Probably going to next spring before touring recovers.
I totally agree! small businesses should be On board 1000% Local businesses, Really wish was more help for this type of business.. 😤
Rather than bailout, just let them get back to work.
2 years on Andrew, I hope this dude a) survived, and b) is making a shed load of money now.
Here's to the American spirit!!
They need to take care of the forgotten Tour Bus Industry. I hope you're able to get some help, Kyle. I always enjoy working his family. Lady Dee
Greyhound is owned by a transportation company in the UK. One would think that the smaller privately owned businesses should have been covered in the first stimulus package.
There are a lot of businesses getting crushed I hate to say it Andrew. My brother in law has a small business and he supposedly didn’t qualify for any stimulus $$$$. So I feel for every single business owner who is getting crushed by this what ever it is being named by the government. It’s time that the country open up and let these businesses get back to salvaging their lively hoods before they close their doors for good. And on a side note if your vulnerable to this virus well then it’s best you stay home then. I’m sure I’m going to get the haters tell me to stay home guess what I’m not going to thank you.
As one small business owner to another sorry to hear about your bro not qualified, I hope he rebounds regardless 🙏
The burnt orange coach is sweet 🌸
We have a very successful bus tour company here ran by some of my distant family members. Been in the business for over 40 years with over a 100 employees. I figure they can make it but I feel for the employees who were furloughed.
I feal for ya cheif!!😳 I've driven for some tours..😥 to loose that income hurts 😥 keep your head up 🙏😎
Yes, its 55 passenger. I am Keith of Crestline
Didn’t buy the people in power. It sad but that is what it comes to. Follow the money.
Hang in there. Seems like stuff is starting to get back moving. It’s America, the sky is the limit on what can be done after this!
If certain things take place in November this will be the new normal, we'll be going back to un employment and paid vacations courtesy of the govt.
Scott Falkner Atleast Trump is trying to get people back to work and moving again
Just ride by the prevost dealership and repair in Nashville. Tn..their full of busses Full😳😳😳 never seen it that Full😳😳
What about the stimulas loans and grants for small businesses?
Bleh...I feel bad for Kyle and his whole team.....and all the other forgotten workers out there that should otherwise be receiving assistance too. Thank you for doing this interview, Andrew. There should be a local, or quasi local bank in Kyle's area that is approved as a PPE disperser. Don't waste time trying to go through the SBA website.
I am at a place where we may rent something much smaller. My Son is buried 2 states away and I want to take flowers to his grave. We are older and I am horrified to stay in a hotel. My husband is recovering from cancer and we can't run the risk.
All those Prevost buses... it's a real shame how this is all playing out for them. That said, with the high end RV industry being what it is, I can see plenty of those being converted to high end RVs. The ROI on that would likely be pretty slick, especially because some of the mods can be out of this world...
My tour company buses (6 buses) is in the same situation here in Chile. I see no way out in the near future. Saludos.
I own a small body shop and as positive as im tying to be, I think I have a better chance of getting a lap dance from the Pope, then getting a ppp loan.

How can I buy a few of the converted tour buses?
So does this mean you will start to put up tour buses for sale since right now you can't use them untill who knows when things will ever get back to normal ???
Jetrangers says this - - I try to to 3 years or later !!!!!!!!
Sadly didn't think there would be ant feds help
What about the PPE money they are giving out.? Seems your eligible for it.
I also think Kyle is correct. With there never being a cure for the virus more people will want to vacation away from the busy resorts.
I would disagree with not selling his inventory as concerts are not coming back for years and hyperinflation will ruin his assets.
Interesting video. Kinda sucks the bus industry is getting screwed!
And restaurants. And hospitality. And events/entertainment. And amusement. And so many others 😢
Oh, and a really big one most people don’t even consider because it’s almost never mentioned - the industry with the highest number of unemployed is the restaurant and food service industry. Guess what number 2 is? Health care! Half of health care workers are currently furloughed. Yes, that is fact. Because they have restricted the health care industry to only allow them to deal with covid cases or urgent emergencies. Other than abortion, anything elective is restricted and postponed in most places.
Are any of your coaches for sale
Think I can have one? 😊❤️
I am sure I cannot but it’s sad to see them in the weeds. I have a nice place to park one.
I am sure your business will be ok we will all get over this
Maybe someday I will get one ☝️ want to fix it up and use it for years and years
Want one without slides
Tell Kyle that Preacherman is prayn for him and the bus industry!!!!

Many small charter bus companies won't last through this.
1 year update March 2021. Many Tourism Tour Bus Companies still not operating due to Covid. Thousands of Bus Drivers still out of jobs.
The music industry suffered through the Napster file sharing widespread theft era for example EMI Records bankruptcy and some managed to survive.However in the music streaming era of today since the lions share of the publics entertainment dollars spent in the music industry is in touring/merchandise @ venues a scary time indeed for EVERYONE😬in this industry.Spotify~ect.alone isn't going to keep it afloat if this thing drags out much longer.😷Simply ask yourselves when was the last time you bought a CD when you can simply ask Google to play Spotify🤔Am old enough to remember recording sales once were a significant revenue source for record companies and artists.🎸Not so much now💸I explain this to people when they complain about high ticket prices and merchandise @ venues.Also if Jack&Jill fans are unemployed enmasse won't be any money to spend on shows.💸Is indeed an invisible toxic☣menace.A very,very scary time for many with everyone taking a hit to their bank accounts.💸😱
How difficult would it be to convert an entertainer bus to one for general personal RV use?
Great question!
How many busses does he have in his fleet? Glad he has maintenance jobs to keep his people working. Was that the mid life Prevost rolling by?
around 13 I believe
Please help them!
now that the country opening up full are you guys able to get back to doing entertainer tours
Well hang in there. Just have to ride out the storm JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE who has the same story just a different version of it.
People do not know that payments still need to be made, insurance payments.
How about promoting them for "safe" vacation rentals to folks with the $$.?
and now the sides are falling they call it delaminating's ware the glue deteriorates on older busses
Because the big businesses took all the loan money for small businesses like these.
Drive the buses by Pelosi’s house to get her to vote yes. I think the president and senate would sign a clean deal to help.
I highly doubt FEMA uses these fancy busses for anything.
Man , don't let them sit in the weeds , I pray things pick up soon ,
I wonder if this industry is back up and running ??
Yes it is
PPP for him. No specific bus bailout.
You should get bailout money from the government. It is not fair.
....Tour buses need bailed out....!!!
Where can I find a tour bus with a queen-size bed no bunks decent size shower kitchen with the dishwasher and flat screen TVs with a tow hitch 4 under 1 million cash
The teams buses and charter's.
At least a year .
Why should taxpayers bailout private companies when the government isn't willing to bail us out WITH OUR OWN MONEY?
If you need a bus driver to go up to Washington DC I’ll do it for free thanks
Me too, I have a CDL. lmk
WE can give $25 million to the Kennedy Center, but can't include the motor coach industry???? "Come on Man"
Exactly the same here in the uk.....
Did you promote his website and encourage people to reserve for next month and maybe offer a promo and talk of the future precautions taken when they are able to operate, like masks instead of distancing? NO ...We must be forward thinking I don't think this summer will be so bad.
It is hard to say it but it's over for all of us ,we got to opinionated and independent so they decided to teach us a lesson
sounds like its time to sell your enventory and buy new when times come back
Hey can I help you out ?
I would like to rent one ☝️ of your bus 🚌 for me and my family for 2 weeks in Canada will pay 💰
Maybe if they learn to live a more respectable life and lower their prices more can afford to buy.
Your business was eligible for PPP support. Why didn’t you apply or did you and kept the money?
Start hauling freight

If the government would of just followed the constitution of the USA we wouldn’t of had all these problems.
This is not right. The government owes them a bailout.
Okay well give us a little business with stadiums can't believe that man well keep them in right go states. Covid and corana 19 and SARS so we still have Area 51 S.T.A.R.R.
