@@JWangvlogs yes we are. We added 3 more Prevost's this year. Still have a few of the older MCI's, but they'll soon be history (probably in a year or two).
You got to have Jim's Hotdog , Nathan's dog and Andy's Deli from New York. You've not lived until then. And don't forget the key lime pie on Maui at mama's
Hi James, just stumbled upon this video. Looks like a fun trip. Can I ask what the cause of the damage to the front and side of the bus was that I saw when you did your pre-trip checks?
Hey Steve! Thanks for the comment. Yes winters here are pretty bad. Even with that being said, most motor coach companies here in Illinois do not have in door parking for their coaches. We are one of the lucky few. As our fleet grows we are having to park some of them out side as well.
Why are some of the buses red and some white? I get a few buses are painted blue and orange for the University of Illinois? Why some red and some white? I am guessing the standard color they come in is white and it is cheaper to do it that way.
@@JWangvlogs Thank you. I am not a big fan of the color red so I like the white ones better. When you do the football trips like you do with the University of Illinois, are you allowed to watch the games from the stands or sideline? Also do they take the same number of buses in regular years as Covid years?
Whaaaaat ?? A van Hool. MCI traitor! No, it is a dream, a bad night and can't think right. I will go back to sleep and wake with MCI in the video as it should be. . . . . yawn
Hi rocky, I am not the boss of Peoria charter. The boss is the owner and president. His name is Bill Winkler. Very nice guy. I am one of the managers. My title is director of operations.
@@rockyfanatic6846 I Drive where ever we are short of drivers. I mainly work in the office. When dispatch is short on drivers they will start calling office staff who are trained and qualified to drive a bus to go out on the road.
Great job, Jay! This school group had nothing but positive things to say about you and Peoria. Thank you!
Hi Shelby. Thanks for your comment. The group I had were a great bunch of people. I hope I have the pleasure of being their driver again.
J Wang was it collage kids or a high school
Great videos, my brother! Take care and be safe. From the other side of Lake Michigan. Benton Harbor, Michigan.
Chuckle!! You talk about food a lot. Not that that is bad. The china town food court downstairs was awesome! Keep it up!
I feel we have the best job ever!!!!!
I totally agree. It's an art and not every one gets it. But we do.
I love the pork chops and their polish.
Love your videos, Jay!
Hey Trucker! Thanks man. Yours is getting better and better too. It's all a learning process. Thanks for the compliment! How have you been doing?
Pretty good. Business is picking up now that spring has sprung, so we are getting busier.

@@JWangvlogs yes we are. We added 3 more Prevost's this year. Still have a few of the older MCI's, but they'll soon be history (probably in a year or two).

You must be in Illinois. Your buses are inside. Here in Seattle we perform our inspections outside...even in winter

Haha yes you guessed it right. We wanted to try white and see how it would look. Lot cheaper too.
